Except Typhon has the same gravity as earth, so the battleship was probably just badly scaled. Except the gravity of Typhon is currently unknown, unless you are using game mechanics which is the only thing in WH40K that is not cannon. So quotes and legitamate evidence please...

Even IF Typhon Primaris was the size of Earth, the bombardment of GIGATONZ would have been Much, MUCH, More Powerful then what has been shown. If it was really the 500 Gigaton statement as you said, then we should of seen the explosion accelerating debris and dirt past the stratosphere and incinerating everything in a 300,000 km radius, actually the power for a 500 Gigaton explosion should be powerful enough that the cruisers/frigates near the atmosphere should be Dwarfed by the Blast.

Here is a little fun website detailing both the blast radius and the fireball radius of a nuclear bomb, because apparently I put in 500 Gigatons as your estimate, and it came out with a fireball radius of about 1,449.02 km...which was large enough to cover the whole of Europe...does that video on the bombarment of Typhon look anything close to that?

Also what are you talking about the battleship being badly scaled? Because you can't cherry-pick that the size of the ship is badly scaled since it came from the game itself, so I am not sure whether you are saying that the IoM now got fancy-schmancy optical illusion device that can make their ships bigger. Since saying that the size of the ship is badly scaled despite being from the actual game, hence not photoshopped and thus cannon, is being absolutely dishonest in my opinion.
