Title: What to do with this...
Post by: alone_withmyaxe on 04 April 2010, 11:49:48 AM
Hi All,

I have got hold of this, points for any one who can guess what it is!
(http://www.zombiesoutside.com/im-forum/whatisit.jpg)
My question is what to do with it, it is too cool a shape to not use for something. I am a Cthulhu and 40k player so I would like it to fit in one of those genres alternatively if something pulp is suggested I might give that a go, I am quite open to all suggestions!

if you accept to sacrifice the round side, you can use it like a landing pad or a radar base, on a wall of some big wh40k buildings! really space marines like XD

Looks cool.

Perhaps it could be part of a space-ship wreckage.

Is it part of a light fitting?  ???

My money is on vacuum cleaner part and it is quite obviously part of a ship's hyperdrive!  ;)

Its 40K, they have warp drive, its like hyper drive but with added chance of demonic possession, corruption or infestation. Side effects may lead to death, disorder or demonically priced products.

I'd bet (if I were a betting man  ;)) on a piston...

and I'll second the spaceship-wreckage suggestion.

Some bit of Archaeo-tech that the Inquisition wants to get its hands on/the Necrons want back/the Eldar want to destroy/the Orks want to steal/the Tau want to study (hint, it's a Warp-gate-cum-drive-thingy)...

Or it's a sinister device built by a fiendish (and probably foreign) scientist-type who needs a jolly good biff in the jaw, what?

Or it's something blasphemous, cyclopean and eldritch, of no human aspect, a twisted thing from beyond the ravings of pathetic humanity, spawned from the primordial chaos of the nameless spaces between the stars where tentacled monstrosities writhe in endless ghastly torment: yadda, yadda, a'nds oona'nds of'ort-h...

In short, I dunno. Prolly a crashed spaceship (is the answer to 'what is it?', not 'what shall I make with it?')

Stand it upright and convert it into a pulpish-sci-fi "techno" throne.

Dunno what it was originally, but when I look at it I see a teleporter gate. I imagine it as mounted horizontally the way it is in the pics, with the oval part projecting a Boom Tube style wormhole tunnel when switched on.
