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).
