Hi guys. I just received my Gladiator today and I thought I'd share some photos I took of this baby with you guys. Note Admiral Chiraneau. I do believe that this is the first we've seen of the actual card apart from what was spoiled in the recent FAQ. Enjoy!

Also I'm now very certain that Wave 1 will hit in the next couple of days as informed by our friendly neighborhood newt:)

(Edit: Lol just realized my spelling mistake in the title. How do I edit it?)

Congrats and thanks for sharing. I dont suppose you could give us a location and who you bought your's from? Just in case others ordered from the same vendor.

I didn't order this from anywhere. I got this straight from FFG as I'm the artist who did the box art for it:)

Oh? Now that is cool. I can't help but wonder what other box art work you might have done or are doing for ships that we dont know about yet. Anyway, thanks again for the post.

I did two for Wave 2. You'll find out eventually:)

Big fan of your art!

Thanks for the post. Ive got 3 on order but I dont think Ill be seeing them for a loooong time!

Why is that so?

@hecabomb: Thx:)

Ordered them online and Im in Australia. So international shipping.

WHat my local FLGS wanted to charge me per Gladiator made me see Red.

I really like the engine array on this ship!

@Tyranthraxus: I see. Hard to beat online prices.

Hey Wraith, did you do the box art or some upgrades? Just curious here. It's pretty cool to see some of the talented artists who do the awesome star wars art pop in here. You got a Deviantart page you can share with us so we can oggle your artwork?

Its just the box art for the Gladiator but I've done other stuff for FFG too; mostly Star Wars related and a bit of 40K Conquest.

I'll post some Wave 2 Armada work there soon.

Cool! You did the cover of the box??

And you're from singapore! Cool!

Seems like you've done a lot Wraith, including some of my favorite pieces. Looking forward to seeing more of your work in the future!

Just curious, but have you ever run into Ukitakumuki? He's another one of my favorite artists on DA, also in signapore, and also contracted by FFG for various artworks (for SW and 40K).

Wow love ur art work!!! Some of your art has been my backgrounds on my iPhone and iPad for quite sometime! Keep up the awsome work. U can't tell us ur doing the art work for assault gunboats can u!

As a matter of fact yes:) I use to work with him in Imaginary Friends Studios. I still see him once in a while. His stuff is awesome!

@Djturbo: Sorry, I have no idea about the Assault Gunboat. I'd like to see it as well but I have no info on that.

Woah. You also did that art for the Imperial Star Destroyer and Home One? Nice...

Nice! I'm not surprised, both that you guys know one another and it's from Imaginary Friends. Both of you are high-caliber artists after all!

Would be nice to see you tapped for some gunboat artwork. We got a new piece for AoR's book but apart from that there's very little depicted for one of the most popular Imperial Fighters with fans (surprisingly). Even then, one prominent piece has the engines in the wrong spot!

Back to topic, looking forward to getting my Gladiator. The packaging for Armada is superb... it's enough that I'll probably be more likely to keep it over the X-Wing stuff because of how great the presentation is.

"other stuff for FFG too" is greatly underselling yourself sir! You did the cover for AoR and FaD? As well as Imperial Entanglements and the picture from the F&D beginner box?

Awesome stuff! Wish I had half that talent.

Gorgeous work, Wraith! The fact that you did not only the cover are for the ISD, but the cover art for Force and Destiny as well, makes you my new favorite person in here

Out of curiosity what's the length of the model, looks fairly close to the VSD in the picture with both. Guesstimate, 4" - 4 1/2".

Dude, they used your art for the Predator EPT.

You're my HERO.
