New Fireraptor

Postby Calistan » Tue Aug 07, 2007 7:47 pm

I like the new Fireraptor Design. I hope they try to make a twin-hulled design in the future for the Drazi.

Not so sure i like it, the blunt head is probably my issue. It may grow on me.

Drazi ships always had that elegant look about them, this ship doesn´t - well, it´s far better than it´s first incarnation, so I can live with that.

This should become the Drazi Transportraptor so they can go and make a Fireraptor. Or if it has to be a warship make it a Drazi carrier of some sort and then make another ship a Fireraptor.

It's OK. Like many new ACTA sculpts, it misses the mark ever so slightly. Hard to articulate it exactly but the racial aesthetic, inspiration & flavor seem to be missing from many of the new minis.

I think the new Fireraptor is worse than the first attempt. At least the first attempt of it had the usual Drazi pointy front to it.

Yeah, I prefer the old one too.

the nose of that ship reminds me of the Andromeda Ascendant for some reason.

Well, is broad and blunt; pretty much like the Andromeda.

The grid on top of the nose reminds me oa a steam engine or a prison door.
