Icarus Show Off Concept Work For New Sci-Fi Game
January 3, 2015 by brennon
Keeping with the Sci-Fi theme for this morning we have some rather cool artwork coming out of Icarus Miniatures for their upcoming Sci-Fi wargame. These folks are based out Wales so some great homegrown talent here...
Some of their current artwork has focused around their Nexus creatures with the latest being that rather amazing looking Assassin. The other two pieces are cool looking but I love the deadly look of that sharpshooter. It almost reminds me of some of the strange creations you see in Metal Gear games. It's not all aliens though...
Icarus have also worked on some cool images for the humans in their world too and this above is one of the Alliance Troopers. The game itself is already in development and you can head on over to download the rules for it right HERE.
Give it a read through and let us know what you think!
Great art right?!
The clever thing to do with the assassin would to have had all 4 arms steadying and aiming the rifle. Maybe guided rounds make that redundant but if it is an energy weapon than steadiness becomes essential.
Actually, and since we’re talking about sci fi, it’s all imagination; but the more you grip a rifle with anything but your trigger hand, the more it vibrates- more muscles twitching. A gyro-stabilized mount with anchor points or some kind of levitation would be the best option that no sci fi designers take 🙂
