From left to right: standard torpedo, special warhead (either subatomic/fusion or vortex, not sure yet), planetary bombardment ordnance, short burn torpedo.

Close up on the thrusters:

Just finished my torpedo sprues. First pic is a set of 5 standard torpedoes (the black part). The next pic includes more 'exotic' torpedoes, from left to right: fusion torpedo, bombardment torpedo, vortex warhead, boarding torpedo, short burn torpedo, seeking torpedo, guided torpedo.

Very swish, @malika2! I was wondering how the ship would turn out as a physical model! I do like the boarding pods, too, the detail makes them seem more interesting than fighters at this scale.

Like the design but a little to smooth looking for the imperium, could be from an undiscovered human civilization though, Is it or when will it be available?

Regarding the release of the boarding pods, they will be out in the coming months. I think Vanguard Miniatures are planning a big ship scaled release.

Two of my Destroyer designs for Vanguard Miniatures are as good as ready.

Do you guys have any final feedback before I'm shipping them off for printing?

These look great. Are the light cruisers, frigates or destroyers?

Great stuff. Are they going to be resin/plastic or metal like the other ships you have at Vanguard?

Vanguard Miniatures currently only do metal models. Maybe we'll be seeing resin or even plastic in the (far) future. :)

I prefer metal. So that's good news to me. (keep everything metal!)
