Arrange the memories to trickle back in in a slow, controlled manner

This should make it possible for us to deal with them safely, and give Lowell lots of opportunities for fun little shorts!

This is clearly the best option. I like the storytelling possibilities, and the rest of you should too!

Remember, deleting memories means we forget details. How the battle was going, fabiyan's sacrifice.

Can you really abandon Fabiyan like that? Would ohone?

Nope. Knowledge is a burden. Grappling with it, well, my opinion on reducing insanity has been very changed recently.

No, wait, I know what LowellDND should do to represent the treatment;
Get drunk and play Blood Bowl.

This. A Space Hulk is literally many ships smashed and fused together. We could even appear to be going backwards because our engines might be on one side, but the 'prow' might be the rear end-end of another ship.

Established canon is 'vaguely hammerhead shaped', but we can do anything within those constraints (and that bone monkey wants to draw)

Ah yes, that was from too long ago. Then I'd go with #6 because it has a sick spike on it that we could use to ram suckas. :black101:

are we talking old Beast or new Beast? I thought we rebuild and remodeled the whole thing?

Also 6 looks wicked.

Originally I pictured the Beast as a great lumpy potato with engines sticking out of one end.

The interior has been completely rearranged due to the Magos war, but the exterior is still roughly hammerhead shaped. We may retrofit the exterior on Mars.

Those are some lovely sketches. They're all delicious. In my mind, the Beast looks a bit like Gormenghast castle.

I think filtered memory is probably a decent idea, so long as Limosa can pull it off.

the detail stage will add a lot of gormenghast stuff. This is just the shape stage.

Looking at pics of Gormenghast, it reminds me of WFRPG 1st edition:

There is some small Asian influence (Ching Shih etc), but I dunno how much it would influence architecture.

I like the general shape of two and the obviously bolted on gaudy mega-structures of 4.

RandomPauI: Nov 24, 2006; Grimey Drawer

Per the suggestion I tried to smush them all together. I got something that was generally recognizable as a ship but the pieces didn't quite fit together all that well. Can someone else give combining the ships a go?

Ralith: Jan 12, 2011; I see a ship in the harbor
I can and shall obey
But if it wasn't for your misfortune
I'd be a heavenly person today

5 is the closest to my image as well, just because it's the most bulky and haphazard, though I think its engines are more spread out than the canonical ones are meant to be, considering they're a discrete part of the ship that can be isolated? I feel like the scale's way off on some of the others; a ship with multiple cubic-kilometer cargo bays shouldn't have a single cathedral hall appear so relatively large on them.

Mine combined 3 and 6, lots of small buildings and weird spikes. Although the off center head of 2 appeals to me.

I like the look of 2- although I always imagined the 'hammerhead' part of the ship to be a literal ship of its own- as if two battleships had T-boned each other, causing an ensuing pileup of starships behind it
