The Imperial Guard’s fleet is forever growing with new vessels being launched every time some AFOL feels inspired to bolster their forces.
This time it’s Knight 40k who has made Admiral Woodhouse proud by building a ship in their signature colours, which consists mainly of red and white. Rather like a candy cane or barbershop pole, actually. Probably not great for camouflaging into the horizon but the scheme is definitely on brand!
Also, this ship seams to attract a very diverse ray of hungry sharks, so if a poor sailor was to plunge overboard, his chances of getting back on deck are severely limited. Or completely severed . Ha ha! Get it? (No? T’was a terrible pun anyway.
If it weren’t for all those cannons this ship would be as menacing as Santa’s sleigh

This is my newly rebuilt Imperial Redcoat Flagship, I will let the images speak for themselves. If you would like to see how it used to look, click here. I am quite happy with the changes and how it turned out, I would never have thought hull color made such a difference in a ships appearance.
Thanks for looking, I hope you enjoy it!
The hatches are battened on this side and the ship does perhaps look most robust than Santa’s sleigh
The crew mills about the capstan
Man the torpedoes! Uhhh… the cannons
Is that the Admiral and his daughter? Or maybe it’s his wife. You never know these days.
Looking down you can see this ship is well crewed

Count all the Imperial Guards – how many are there on deck?
The figurehead be a mermaid baring cross cutlasses!
Look closely at the details
Nice view from the crowsnest!
Looking through the Jacob Ladder
This ship is kind of modular
Here we get a closer look at the cannons
About the Builder…
Knight 40k has posted a couple of ships in the Pirate MOC Subforum in the past but little is known about this builder. We don’t have any social media or website links to share but we assume the name originates from the game Warhammer 40k. In fact, that game has a faction called “Imperial Knights” so perhaps they’re descendants of the Imperial Guards. Or maybe this is merely coincidental.
And now we come to the part where you should discuss this MOC in the LEGO Pirates Forum and share it on social media.
