Here is the direct link.  BH, are you referring to picture of the ships flying in front of the arc shaped portion of the Craftworld?  It isn't much of a shot, but it does give some inspiration.

They do mention that Iyanden CW is large and should be about 25cm in diameter.  You figure some of the larger ships are around 5cm long so a Craftworld would be five times as long.  Personally that sounds pretty small to me - maybe they were just setting a size to make the BFG scenarios playable?  I don't know, I'm just asking.

So imagine a planet shape, but an oblate spheroid instead of a sphere. ?From there you could add domes and spires along its surface so that the bottom portion of each dome is perpendicular to a bisecting line through the spheroid (does that make sense?).


just to let you know ,i drive a semi/truck for a living ,we're not the cleverest of people
if my name was Stephen ?hakins i might be in with a chance... :D ?..

but seriously ?i get the general idea of what you're saying ?

Well I work in the security field so I'm not exactly setting the world on fire career wise either. :p   However, I learned long ago not to judge people by their occupation.  Personally I find the idea of a truck driver sketching geeky sci-fi pictures pleasantly refreshing.
oblate spheroid = egg shape
bisecting = Imagine sticking a bunch of tooth picks through the middle of the egg
perpendicular domes = resting a bunch of Nilla wafer cookies on those toothpicks.

Now if you'll excuse me all that talk made me hungry for eggs and cookies. :confuse:
