Those are indeed some excellent Tyranids! Hot water reservoir!
Love them.
I was tinkering around trying to make a Starchaser Starfighter from Star Wars, but I'm feeling I'm falling short. I'm not really making anything specific, but I was wondering if anyone would help me make a better one? Below is my basic effort and the fighter art I based off of. Yeah, I'm an amateur ^^
My basic effort
My source image; It was from a Star Wars Rebellion Mod made during the old times. Surprisingly I still had the fighter image, but I lost the mod files a long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.
The Starchaser could perhaps be called a pocket Y-Wing. It shares a similar armament of two ion cannons, two laser cannons and a pair of warhead launchers, though it carries a smaller payload. It is arguably a better fighter being more maneuverable and faster, closer to the Headhunter in performance, but it is fragile and lightly shielded. Indeed, the Headhunter is its closest competitor in the "affordable fighter" category. In the end the detractors of the Starchaser will say it lacks the durability of a strike fighter, and it's short of having the performance to be a reliable superiority fighter. Once upon a time it might have been one of the best multipurpose fighters in the galaxy, but by the time of the Galactic Civil War it was at best a second line patrol fighter which suffered greatly if taking part in larger engagements. It could not compete with more advanced designs such as X-Wings or TIE Interceptors.
