CONCEPT ART PREVIEW: Nexus Grunt

Greetings Icarus Fans. Today we reveal the first piece of concept art from our upcoming Science Fiction wargame; currently titled the Icarus Project.

The Nexus

The Nexus are one of the most brutal races in the galaxy.
The ancient Nexus were amongst the first species discovered by the Praesidians. By the time the two races met, the Nexus had already achieved space travel, moving from planet to planet in vast ships that housed millions of Nexus. These journeys would take generations, but were fueled by the belief that the Nexus were the dominant species in the galaxy and deserved to conquer.

The Nexus are the main antagonist in our game. Their hatred of humanity has lead to two galactic wars, the effects of which are still felt in the present day of the game. 

Today we're showing you the first piece of concept art for the Nexus:

This piece, completed by Daniel Comerci, depicts the average "grunt" of a Nexus force. Daniel has really captured the savagery of the species.

I particularly love what he has done with the face, that bestial look which is just one step above animal. 

To find out how this unit plays in game, head over to the downloads section to try our pre-alpha rules.
