	The ship class makes its debut in the sequel game, with ''Macragge's Honour'' representing the Imperium while the ''Vengeful Spirit'' appears on the Chaos side. Each is easily twice as powerful and durable as a "regular" battleship of their faction. Just don't send them without escorts however, as they can still be overwhelmed by multiple ships ganging up on them. The ''Macragge's Honour'' rolls with massive fighter complements, but its primary punch is its mix of lances and torpedoes. Since the torpedoes are parallel, they can hit a target eight times with one button press; good for boarding actions with that Astartes muscle backing it up.

	It's important to not understate how ''massive'' each individual Gloriana was. They averaged around ''20 kilometers in length'', although several were noticeably larger than this mark, and they were capable of holding entire expeditionary forces ''and'' their support staff ''and'' equipment complement. Many of them could hold a sizeable portion of a Titan legion inside them, something that normally requires a single dedicated ship to do so. The entirety of a full-strength "modern-day" [[Chapter]] of Space Marines would have trouble filling out even a tenth of their cavernous holds. They were built to such exacting standards that it took nearly 10% of Mars' entire production output working flat out for years to build them.

Likewise the '''Conqueror''' still remains under the control of the [[World Eaters]], who use it to wreak havoc in [[Khorne]]'s name, presumably [[Angron]] takes command when he is summoned to the Materium. [[Lotara Sarrin]], Angron's flag captain during the Heresy, is merged with the command throne and occasionally snacks on passers-by. It was commanded by Kossolax the Foresworn, Chaos Lord of The [[Foresworn]] World Eaters Warband, until Angron returned from the Warp and had Sarrin declare him its master once more.

	The ship class makes its debut in the sequel game, with ''Macragge's Honour'' representing the Imperium while the ''Vengeful Spirit'' appears on the Chaos side. Each is easily twice as powerful and durable as a "regular" battleship of their faction. Just don't send them without escorts however, as they can still be overwhelmed by multiple ships ganging up on them. The ''Macragge's Honour'' rolls with massive fighter complements, but its primary punch is its mix of lances and torpedoes. Since the torpedoes are parallel, they can hit a target eight times with one button press; good for boarding actions with that Astartes muscle backing it up.

	Hilariously, if you play the Chaos campaign: there's a mission that has you defeating the'' Macragge's Honour'' and taking Guilliman prisoner (somehow). This results in the Word Bearers gleefully corrupting the ''Macragge's Honour'' and re-christening it as the ''Monarchia Redeemed''.
