One that DOESN'T look Egyptian or Mesoamerican?

Something like this, perhaps?

If so, got a tutorial or pics of the end result on your gaming table?

Thanks,

Take a look at the great pyramids Critical mass games produces, they have several other smaller pyramids. To see them all scroll down to the bottom of the page in the link. link

No need to, Armorcast has some egyptian castings that look like extraterrestials helped the egyptians (alien pharoh statue, high tech pyramid and some other stuff.)

Very nice L4!

Thank you !! I like my 6mm Sci-fi terrain to look accordingly "evocotive" …

Those are awesome necrons!

Mako1114 Aug 2012 1:44 p.m. PST

I like the top one best.

No, but then again, I've never built a human, modern-day, or ancient one either.

Blue Moon has a 15mm Pyramid. It is cast in high density foam and has lift off roof and 2 middle sections for internal play.

We also have an Egyptian Temple that could make some pretty awesome gaming scenarios.

No.

Have considered broken Obelisks though. There used to be a article on the GW site for one that was built with Foam Core that I liked.

Note I have always liked the floating SF Pyramid, ever since I saw the idea in First Comics "GrimJack", before GW stole the Idea for their Monoliths…

I like this one a lot, gonna have to try to build something like it at some point.

We made this prototype a while back, we donated it to Tabletop Insider to use for a battle report in the end. I keep meaning to get round to finishing it as a production item…

I produced a flat top massif rather than pyramid. I picked up a pair of small Sphinx from Petsmart. They sit atop the brick massif with a long stair leading up to the entry. The sphinxae are aquarium bottom pieces.

Losschabossdragon02 Sep 2012 4:57 a.m. PST

Yes, the Grimjack pyramid is just great

Here's an interesting monument to place somewhere near the pyramid:

I have some good structures for the base of a semi pyramid structure, I just need actual pyramid shapes to glue on top of them for the spires to complete the forms.

There was a monument?

Dan
What is the source material for that image? A Movie?

Terry

Eli Arndt11 Dec 2012 11:16 a.m. PST

Farscape TV series.

BTW, does anybody know a good source of pre-made pyramid shapes in various sizes?

-Eli

tsofian11 Dec 2012 1:17 p.m. PST

Farscape! Why have I never watched that show!?!?

Terry

Eli Arndt11 Dec 2012 1:25 p.m. PST

I have no idea grin

Perhaps it is you we have to blame for it being cancelled?

You could have been the ONE grin

tsofian11 Dec 2012 2:34 p.m. PST

we'll just catch it on netflicks

I was just given a resin pyramid model from (I think) the 1990's, perhaps the one pictured in the old "Pharon" book for VOR from FASA. It's cool, but I could use an assembly manual.

A couple terrain gurus on the Infinity forum are working on a super-modular pyramid for GenCon this year. link

I believe that most of the outside is getting done in Hirst molds (hence all the lines in this computer prototype):

That's 36" square, folks! (with a 24x24" playable interior!)

Wow… that's quite something…

War Monkey15 Jul 2013 2:05 p.m. PST

Hey CC
Your right an alien girl on girl monument Would be great! of course that thing in the back ground could work to I guess

Cacique Caribe15 Jul 2013 3:33 p.m. PST
