Hi!
I made a Wraith Hive ship model (from Stargate Atlantis) a few years ago but I couldn’t made any usable render.
I went back to my hive ship and also create a wraith cruiser for this wraith invasion image.
I hope you will like it!
GraphiX: The planet is a model: 3 different objects (surface, clouds, atmosphere). I used a displace modifier and bump for the clouds.

georg: Sorry, I don’t plane animation (the render takes about an hour so the rendertime of an animation would be too much)!
Oleeblood: Köszi szépen!
ThelastHope: I made the gun fire with an emitter particle system with Line render setting and used a blend texture with strand mapping. Then I add some glow and streaks effect with the Glare node in the compositor.
That’s why you need a render farm service.
And why not make a low poly version of the models utilizing normal maps? That would greatly reduce your render time.
