I am planning out and building some new terrain especially for the game/video ( In Planetstrike the defender gets to set up the whole table however he wants, so I figured I'd go one better and actually build some themed terrain specifically to fit the story of the battle, etc.).

will alsohopefully be building some board sections, barricades, fortifications, and gun emplacements if all goes well.

Here is the start of the first two pieces( the main section of the Mek's workshop itself and a "vent" thingy with hose that can attach):

[img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v463/nurgle23/ORKS/mekworkshop3.jpg[/img]

Still very WIP, as I need to do a ton more detailing, rivet work, glyph plates, door, basing for the piece, etc., etc. but the basic shape is taking form.

The crows nest is big enough to put a Mek w/ SAG in (Imagine that), and the roof will be big enough to hold a squad of shoota boyz, though i won't be mounting any fixed weapons on the workshop itself as I'll save those for the surrounding fortification pieces to come once I figure out the design for them and get a look at the Planetstrike book to see what it allows in this regard...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245178/790340.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245178/790340.page GMT

Still WIP, I'll be adding more plates/gubbinz , etc. But I want to get the basic structures done so we can start testing out the Planetstrike rules as soon as we get the book.

These are only base coated (dusting of rusty red primer over black primer) at this point.

I'll probably make 2-3 more sections like this, and mix them in with the GW orky barricades which should give me enough to make a decent sized fortification combined with the planned looted Imperial bastion...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245178/793529.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245178/793529.page GMT Id love to have stuff like that for my Orks.

Two sets of the GW orky barricades that i had ordered that will blend in nicely with the stuff i am building:

[img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v463/nurgle23/ORKS/GWorkybarricades4.jpg[/img]

I plan to keep one set stock and the other I'll chop up and add bitz to to make them look different and increase their mileage. I base coated both sets (painting/detailing to come)

Da fort is starting to take shape!!!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245178/797298.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245178/797298.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245178/797306.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245178/797306.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245178/797308.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245178/797308.page GMT
Yeah that piece is just sort of staged up in that pic and not finalized. I like the look/texture of the ribbed hose and want to use it in various places, but it may get shortened/altered.

[quote=Lord Manimal]I love orky terrain! One thing I'm not clear on is how to give the orky peices a rusted look. I've used some rusting techniques on individual models, but how do you do that in bulk, with large terrain peices like this?[/quote]

Well I plan to do a bunch of washes on these pieces. I'm starting by priming them back and then doing a lrust red primer over that as you see in these pics as a base. When I get to painting I plan to detail everything, paint plates red and other colors, add checks and ork gylphs and lots of edge wear, etc. Then I plan to do a number of washed(oily black, rust, etc.) to finish the effect. I'll be trying to achieve a similar look to the orky terrain in the Apoc. book, but perhaps with a little more variety of color and detail...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245178/797315.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245178/797315.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245178/797362.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245178/797362.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245178/797373.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245178/797373.page GMT
Those would be cool

Somepieces I have planned:

1. squig pen

2. Ammo dump

3. Looted Imperial Bastion

4. Some gun emplacements

5. Crashed ork fighta

6. Various scrap piles

Productive day today as i managed to Kit-bash a Big shoota tower( shown with an ork boy for scale):
[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v463/nurgle23/ORKS/shootatower3.jpg[/IMG]


Here it is showing how it can be added in to the fortification pieces:

I have another one in the works but I'm thinking that I will make it as a rokkit launcha tower as that would be the closest orky equivilant to the lascannon gun that comes with the Imperial bastion for Planetstrike and as an orky defender I'll want to be able to represent orky alternatives...

Looking to play a game of Planetstrike for a battlereport video my club plan to make in early august and since it is going to be orks(defender) vs. marines(attacker) I thought I would bash out some orky fortifications. It will be useful in general however...

one of the things I didn't like about planetstrike was they didn't have much choices and everything was imperial. So basically you have either bastions or giant fortresses, nothing in between.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245178/807398.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245178/807398.page GMT

They don't give you lots of rules/details on stuff other then those two classes of fortresses, but remember that the defender can declare anything as an objective: A bridge, non-fortification buildings, a section of trench line, a missile silo, etc. ,etc. OF course they point out that anything you put a gun on SHOULD be an objective. Orky versions of the Imperial weaponry equate pretty easily (big shoota type guns for heavy bolters, and crazy Loota cannons or zapp cannons etc. for the Icarus laser, etc., so not to hard of a stretch of the imagination; armies like Tyranids, etc. are a bigger jump and i expect we might see some future WD content on defenses and automated weaponry for other races)

The gun towers are automated guns like the Icarus and so forth, and I built them modular so I can put them on buildings etc. or work them into a defense line, etc.

When I put the mekshop on the fortified hill platform with the gun towers added like in the pic I will count the whole building as a Bastion as it can be assumed the Big Mek has fortified the structure.

Beyond that I am planning to loot/orkify an Imperial Bastion and build two "stompa tower" Bastions made from stompa hulls with platforms/parapets on top and w/ Interceptor turrets made from BW turrets.

That should suffice for the time being...

The whole set is fully modular and breaks down into numerous pieces that all can be used stand alone or combined in a variety of ways. I prefer this to mounting stuff on boards permenantly as it is far more useful this way.

I agree. I'd much rather attack, however I'm not sure who likes to defend less: orks or Flesh tearers?

My opponent for this upcoming game really likes to attack with his Flesh tearers.
