Here is the start of my 1 foot tall orky tower which will have special rules for it when I play with my friends. (Like units fire 1.5 times farther or something like that) Its made out of bamboo skewers, wire and cardboard. The first thing i did was lash 3 skewers together with the wire to make poles that looked orky.

After I lashed the poles together I ran some pvc glue on them to make sure noone poked themselves on the wire. Then I based it on a 6" by 6" peice of cardboard so I could work around it. Which all joined up at the top to a 2 inch peice (the base of the legs are 4" by 4")

I like the idea of a part half way up so i am going to make one with a trap door in the middle for the ladder and the top part will be a "lookout" or a area for the 'UGE SHOOTAS (any long range team)
