Description
My first attempt at a digital art piece; the marines in the picture are wearing my Armour Suit Concept5 points for the first person to get the title reference!
The guns depicted in the image all have detailed designs which will be posted eventually. For now;
On the left is the Hypercane, a railgun-assisted rocket launcher which uses its inboard fabricator to adapt its warheads for specific tasks
In the centre is the Peltast, a burst-fire railgun which launches semi-guided foam-phase hydrogen rounds in bursts of one to three, with a muzzle velocity of up to two kilometres per second
In the bottom right corner is the Hyperion, a multi-mode free-electron laser which can fire a beam of x-rays or an electron beam guided by the x-ray corridor (electrolaser). It's yield per burst is up to 5MJ.

And thus, a hearty debate between educated gentlemen of respectable upbringing began.

Thanks! This was my first go at digital painting and that was one of the first things that I noticed - how much easier it was to get across a realistic sense of colour and light.

Never read Excession (it is on the reading list though) but I love that as a euphemism.

Well, these are black and white, was just wondering if you can color them.

The colours are rather washed out

Isn't it the name of a ship from the bookΒ Excession?

So why did you use this name for a title?

Well...Frank Exchange of Views is a euphemism for combat so it fitted. Plus I just really liked the name
