Wow... that's amazing stuff. Keep it going!

That's awesome.

I think with at least one of the 4 corner towers you should at least double it in height. Currently it looks a little too symmetrical. Possibly make one of the towers round?

I also suggest maybe making a wall that looks like it has been blown through and just roughly patched or is in the process of being fixed, allowing you to use some of the grots with tools.

Also where are the heavy weapons? This fortress has so many spots to mount some heavy weapons and even some guns from tanks. With orkz short range shooting they could use some to defend with.

Also how did you do the flaking rusty effect on the metal pieces?

Freakin' awesome, dude. I may have to start building some ork scenery now, I'm that inspired by this. A mighty large congratulations to you for the excellent work!

I think you should send some photo's to GW when it's done, they'd be pretty impressed.

So to make the rust all it was is i painted a base coat of rust color and then once it dried i applied marmite to mask of the areas that i wanted to be rusty. Then I painted the rest accordingly. once it was done i then took a tooth brush and water and rubbed off all of the marmite to reveal the original base color.

Also I do think the corners need to be a little different so Im going to look into some of those ideas and to see what fits best......

Awesome!

I can't wait to see it. I can not orkify things in any way, anyone that can (and do it well) has my respect. Great looking fort, I can not wait to see it finished.
