Stepping back from the familiar, here's something outstanding - a new capital ship! This was an early concept for the Kilrathi flagship, before the 'battlecruiser' look was adopted. It looks like a heavy carrier... similar, perhaps, to the Snakeir from Secret Missions 2.

A very different design. It looks like it would fit into the Arena period perfect though. It seems like a bunch of makeshift modifications onto an older hull. Bristling with guns as well.
 
That's really cool, I like how they combined the general shape of a WC1 ship with the asymmetry of WC3.
 
Hmm, no, no, I am quite happy they chose to use the Arena capships. :) But I do see a bit of Snakeir (SM2) in it, indeed.

Yeah the one complaint I have about this model is that it looks too busy. Granted it's probably supposed to look like its had a bunch of things added, but it has too much of it going on.

I do like the Arena Battlecruisers a lot. They are menacing while packing quite a punch.
