I've never heard or seen that before (I sort of know about war hammer
tho) Your right though because some of the ship designs are cool. My
inspiration i guess came from a love for gothic architecture that developed
back in high school. I used to make little sketches of some flying space
cathedrals (like Chartres) with some of the elements inverted underneath
normally where they would reach the ground. Um that sort of makes since i
guess.
Also I'd probably say some of the look of the Event Horizon in the movie
of the same name inspired me (gotta love the soundtrack by
Orbital! --shameless plug.)
Also I've wanted to build a lego space ship bigger than me probably
since i was a zygote.(sp?) Oh well must build then sleep. Ah to heck with
sleep.
