What about making a war machine. It could be a zerg kind of cannon, a terran tank inspired of classic tanks, a protoss arsenal...whatever epic weapon. I know we had some theme with post containing such weapons...but now with the pitch and roll, you can make... what you imagine. (Did I post that right after listening to the BF2 theme... nah...maybe)
So you pick randomly one of eatch and make random sentence like: The Ursadon play with bubbles. The Zerg love monkey. The Protoss play with a steak. The Xel'naga eat stars.
And this inspires your terrain. You only make one sentence and have fun with it :D
Frequently, people will pick by themself a picture on the week's theme on the net and try to recreate it. It has been made in the past, but not directly as a whole wte I believe.
Um or even design your own starcraft sport..like, what do you think protoss plays in freetime when they dont practice their psy abilities? Or the zerg when they got nothing to do? Think of a bunch of overlords forgotton in the back of your base... do they play cards waiting the game to end?
"Doodads now support Pitch and Roll properties for three-dimensional rotation."
This means, creating interiors, cave, anything that needs some kind of roof or whatever, can be created easily. It is a huge improvement!
As an idea like any others... We've been doing terrains that always tried to get as close as possible to reality. But, what about trying to do terrain that do not match reality, that would be completetly special and unreal. A WTE where "originality is not reality" would be the center of attention.
I think I would only find through all doodads, the less interesting ones, make the list of them and then pick randomly one and make it be interesting. Doodads that aren't rocks, trees, bushes, houses... mostly some that alone, looks really bad.
Edit here is a bunch of random hots doodads. Some of them could be really hard to add into a terrain, but if they are in the doodad's list, it's there to be used so, use it!
My cake from the 100th WTE made me think to a sort of WTE...
It would be to use two doodads of absolute different nature (do not fit together) but, find a way to make them works together. For example, I saw in an older WTE, someone using the "Broken ground Edging" doodads that takes the texture from the ground to fake continuing the edge, but, over the truck to transport rocks and things.. (I don't remember the name, but similar to the one found in the first missions of the campaign to transport the Artefact). He mixed both together in a snow terrain. The ground, white, made the Edge beeing white, placed over the truck, it was looking awesome like if the truck was holding snow in it.
So really, it is open to many weird mix, for example Fan and a tree... find a way to mix those. City billboard with Zerg Spire... this would be a funny one, like if the Zerg were actually having publicities like Terrans, haha. Really find something that you would never imagine to be possible to fit together. "Destroyed Nydus Worm" (that is really awesome and ugly) with "Castanaar Monitor".. etc
I think also about a new one, find a way to use the "Alive inside" decal. ;)

There should be a random topic, like:

Well, simply use the Wireframe view from the editor, no need of anything else. It won't be as much light green as Joecab' one but it's fine ;)

At this point there are few ideas still poping... such as me that would like to recreate Shoe' picture from wte 147 (http://th03.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/f/2012/237/6/4/toxic_by_joakimolofsson-d5cc2md.jpg)
Or tata' wanting a copy-paste style wte said in wte 148..
And you coming with a recreating style wte. Which is similar to my idea, but more general.
At this point I dunno, it's up to Mozared... and honestly, he's doing a great job finding theme every weeks since...dam long.

if these had walking animation, zerg would now be even more nightmarish as they already are.
