Einstein Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 I figured, as Space Hulks are just a bunch of ships and scraps thrown randomly together, why would anyone necessarily do that in a nice order? Why not put 'em together the way they fit best, even if means that the ships is tilted, and the walls or ceiling inside the ships becomes the floor? I think you could make loads of cool bases with this theme, ladders and doors on the bases and such. Does anyone have other ideas? Mathias Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy40k Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Makes plenty of sense and sounds really cool. -Legacy40k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aretziel Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 I wonder how much gravity there is in a space hulk ... so maybe people walk on what looks to be the floor out of old habit? as in space nothing is realy up or down ... but your idea got a point and is right on ... as well, Orks space hulks tend to have stones/meteroiets/asteroides as well fixed to them so, why not stone bases as well?

Raejin99 Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 One thing to realize is that space hulks are so massive that they have their own gravity. Look at the BFG Ork Fleet rules on the specialist games web site. Ork hulks have rules for orbiting them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You, sir, know too much about random stuff. :P One other slightly unrelated question, why is there a thread asking who is participating in the space hulk thing? Is there some sort of event?

Chaptermaster Graymantle Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Excellent idea! :P Now this buts some great conversion, basing and diorama ideas into my head. Hope someone does something cool with your idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Einstein Posted June 7, 2006 Author Share Posted June 7, 2006 Can anyone come up with a good idea on how to stress that it's the walls we're walking on, and not just some nicely painted floor? Many of my initial ideas doen't really says "walls", but could also be put on the floor... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of my initial ideas doen't really says "walls", but could also be put on the floor... <_< Why dont you try something like this http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/Nicorex/wash/DSCN0661.jpg or this http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/Nicorex/wash/DSCN0663.jpg Whoops i ment this! :P http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/Nicorex/wash/DSCN0662.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/Nicorex/wash/DSCN0660.jpg and this http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/Nicorex/wash/DSCN0665.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/Nicorex/wash/DSCN0664.jpg Just a suggestion. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayden Kayne Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Bwahaha, that's the greatest thing I've ever seen <_< Except the 'belt thingy' looks weird now :D Especially when he's walking on the wall, and it's 'falling' upwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StratoKhan Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 But it's not 'falling upwards' at all - if he is walking that way then gravity is either 'pulling' upwards, or there is no gravity and he is walking with magnetised boots, and his movement has pulled the leather straps (pteruges) flat to his suit. Cool idea Nicorex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicorex Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Well I was thinking that if there was no gravity at all, I could make a squad one on the floor 2 on walls one on ceiling and one holding onto a ladder with one hand as he scorches a hallway with his flamer with his feet hanging out behind him FRACK! Now I got to go buy anothter box of Terminators! <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Einstein Posted June 7, 2006 Author Share Posted June 7, 2006 My friend (luther - the fallen), who I discussed this subject with in person, said that the big ships are very likely to have their own gravity, just as Raejin99 pointed out. But he also mentioned, that it could be made from several gravity generators, and if one of them, or more, should fail, the rest of them would make the gravity act "weird". I like your idea, Nicorex, nice minis, although that poor termie seems awfully squeezed in that corridor... And I don't think I'm in the mood for making each termie their own, little piece of a corridor... Mathias Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
refuse Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 One thing to realize is that space hulks are so massive that they have their own gravity. Look at the BFG Ork Fleet rules on the specialist games web site. Ork hulks have rules for orbiting them! Remember, gravity outside (stick the hull) vs gravity inside (negating effects of Mass). So a massive Moon sized object may let you "land" on the outside, but inside, the deeper you go, the less "gravity" there will be. <_< Also good points were, "magnetic boots" don't work if the ship isn't metal. So hollowed out asteroids might be dangerous for Terminators! And one of the AODs here on B&C had "gravitational effects" as an event. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, technically, the equation for the force of gravity is G*massofobject1*massofobject2/distancebetweenthecenterssquared :drool: If that made any sense... Basically, as the centers of any two objects get closer and closer, the gravitational force increases exponentially. But whatever, your gravity generator theory still works. Also, no one has answered my question. What exactly does the B&C have to do with this space hulk nonsense? :drool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would mean you are "weightless" (assuming the hulk's mass is evenly distributed around you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkbunny Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 yes, that is a simplified equation not intended for objects entering eachother every molocule is its own gravitation point all pulling in different directions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoxI Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 You know, it doesn't even matter. Who knows who is right, because no one has ever been to the center of a planet like object. I think that the what I said before would remain true because essentially in every object, all of the mass is centered around one point, hence center of mass/gravity. But I may be wrong. Anyway, let's not turn this into a physics discussion, this is the PC&A! :ot: (yes, I know it's my fault) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
