What do you think should be the focal point of the game board Im building? Idea 1 A giant wreaked mining machine. The Machine has been visited by a SM tecmarine so it has some reinforced sections where he used his "bolster defense" rule Idea 2 What is left of a crashed battleship. And again was visited by a tecmarine. Idea 3Giant Oil drilling machine (sorry no pics  ) |

1. 1 is infinitely more original.

I like the first idea too, although a whole hulk on a board would be very very cool.

well, i would go for the giant oil drilling machine or the wreaking mining machine.
what would be really cool is to make it some kind of modular so you can really switch it up. but i guess you will have your way with it.
space ship is way too,... alien-ated kind of thing imho. so, some industrial stuff should be really cool

I vote for the mining machine as well. Something like that would be really neat to see. If you do not want to entirely scratch build the entire thing there are some various model railroad terrain models that would be suitable to help provide donor parts for it... Alternately look for the giant crane toys you can find every so often at toy stores.

A space-ship would be pretty big, but also boring. Just a big metal hulk that blocks most of the board. Now the other two would be great!

This project has dominated my free time for about the last week but it is well worth it. The first piece of the mining machine, the giant digy-thing, is nearing completion. The engine section is still in the design proses.  |

Do the giant mining rig transformer one.
Let's see more pics. Perhaps you'd grace us with a concept sketch?

That looks good, and BIG! Is that a techpreist dribbling over it in the background?

This part is done.. ;D pics coming soon...
ElegaicRequiem: I'll see what I can dig up, most of the concept art for this project was done on index cards during third block...
3ff3ct: Yes that is a techpriest, and a Warrior of minas tirth

this loo0ks REAL big.... is the mining machine going to be able to mine once you get done? like... lowering the drilbit and stuff? this could do some neat stuff to your games!
imagine the thing randomly turning on its point d6" and the drilbit dropping to go and dig for a turn on a 5+!
should be really awesome!
keep up the good work
