The first model that is going off to the printers for prototyping will be the Bardox Fighter. The Bardox are a warrior race of gorilla like beings. Their entire culture revolves around fighting and war which leaves little room for science, so their ships and technology advance very slowly and they primarily thrive on stealing and reverse engineering the technology of others. The Bardox also have some of the fiercest troops when it comes to ground combat and more specifically boarding actions. Tactics wise the Bardox prefer a much more "Physical" approach to space combat with most of their ships designed around nose equipped for ramming other enemy ships or simply boarding them and removing the enemy crew.
I will have more information on the Bardox early next week along but for now here is a first look at the Bardox Fighter. I am still making adjustments to the model but this is really close to the model that will be going off for prototyping.
The images above represent what the final production model will look like in one of the Bardox paint schemes. The model itself is build to use the stand displayed but could easily be fitted and any of the currently available stands.
This is a raw look at that details of the forward left side of the model. Notice the dual cannons on the left side giving the model an asymmetric feel.
Here is the original concept art created by our talented concept artist.
