I love the SPACING GUILD! It tempted me to know more about it because it is mostly just a simple plot device in Frank's books. They are important but not the focus of the stories. I decided to learn a lot more about them first when I started my research to determine how I would be able to make all of the Dune Factions fun to play in my DUNE Skirmish Game.
Ole hippy activist Frank described almost nothing in his sleepy novels. I call it Dune-fog-vision. Cool things are happening but feel free to imagine just about anything visually. A happy consequence of Frank's vague space drama narrative is that we get to see a million versions of The DUNE Universe!
In the decades past the DUNE novels first publication DUNE has been wonderfully illustrated! These modern artist did what Frank could-would not do. I have found much to ponder and enjoy while researching! You can barely find art that is consistent in design, but some of it is similar in the basic vision of the concept. Look up any character or the beloved worms; you will find great variation, and I like it, because much of it is well done.
The Dune-fog-vision has made it easy for me to use the models and miniatures that I like and that look the way I want them to look. I am happy to report that I have found great models that matchup with what I see when reading the wonderful DUNE Novels. With GW being inspired by Classic Sci-Fi properties like DUNE and the wild selection available on Etsy this new adventure has been a lot of fun. 🥳
"Setina said goodbye. She did manage to hide most of the horror and despair on her face. C'tair had noticed the flicker but D'murr had not. He wondered what their mother had hidden from them during their preparations for the test. Doesn't she want us to succeed?
Navigators were the stuff of Legends; shrouded in secrecy and Guild fostered superstitions. C'tair had heard rumors about bodily distortions; the damage that intense and constant immersion in spice could wreak upon a human physique!
No Outsider had ever seen a navigator, so how were those people to know what changes could surge through the body of someone with such phenomenal mental abilities? He and his brother had laughed at the silly speculations, convincing each other how outrageous such ideas could be!"
