With Chicago Bolt Action being set with about 3-4 tables worth of my terrain for events like Operation Sting and Adepticon, as well as just finishing a table for Frostgrave, I thought it was time to revisit the old Necromunda/40K terrain bundle for Adepticon and other local events. With that in mind, and after having played through Borderlands once again, I decided to take a crack at some non-Imperial terrain – an Ork Shanty Town. Much like my previous human shanty town (which is currently on loan to the guys over at Hyacinth Games, makers of Wreck-Age), these are based on old CDs, with walls of poster foamboard, covered in cereal cardboard with riveting added to the edges. The roofs are all corrugated cardboard (all of a corrugation is the smallest available – known as "E-type" – to fit appropriately into the 28mm scale). I'm adding gubbinz, old bitz, and parts from old toys as detailing. Each shanty is sized a little differently – some are large for Nobs, others for Boyz, and the smallest for Grotz.

YBP, Looks really awesome, though I wish you would retake this particular photo when you get the chance. Or perhaps a slightly different angle. I really want to see the detail of how you put together that windmill. Thanks, Dan

I really like how haphazard and jumbled the shanties look, very Orky ;) |

YBP, I look forward to it. Thanks. Dan |

Made some Borderlands-inspired alien cacti patches for my Ork Shantytown last month and just this past weekend got around to putting the last coats of paint on them.

In addition to the alien foliage I completed back in November, I also finished up these Orky shanties for the Ork Shantytown table for Adepticon 2018. Many of you would ask – "how do Orks get into the Hive?" – and the answer would be doz sneakee Kommando gitz who need a base of Orkerations. They're Boyz N Da Hive. More pics and info below:
