ORC FIGHTING PIT

Orcs love to fight - even against each other! Having a pit to fight in makes it even easier for everyone else to cheer them on. Here is a simple way to make one out of foam and wooden dowels.

Stage 1

Cut the base from hardboard (like Masonite) and sand the edges down. Shape the hill with a hobby knife and sandpaper. Cut the middle out and glue the foam to the base.

Stage 2

Cut some wooden dowels. Carve pointed ends on some of them with your hobby knife. Glue them around the inner wall of the pit. The different heights and widths add to the Orcy appearance.

Stage 3

Fill the gap between the spiked wall and hill with Liquid Nails. Embed and glue rocks to the sides of the hill and glue sand around the hill and inside the pit.

Stage 4

Spray everything with Chaos Black primer. Drybrush the floor and hill with Bestial Brown followed by Bubonic Brown and then highlight with Bleached Bone. Drybrush the spikes with Codex Grey followed by Fortress Grey and then highlight with Rotting Flesh to give them an aged appearance. Paint the tops of the spikes Desert Sand and highlight them with Bleached Bone and Skull White.

Finally, drybrush the rocks with Shadow Grey followed by Fortress Grey and Skull White.

Stage 5

Glue flock to the hill. Use spear tips from the Goblin sprue as spikes. Drill holes into random posts and glue the spear tips into place. Add small details such as skulls and discarded weapons in random places. Finish with some blood splashes (Brown and Red Ink).
