AHPC XI - Mike W: [Shrine] Ork Gorka Morka Totem

First of hopefully two or three posts this week as I continue to work through the challenge and juggle different project themes and real world work.

Gorka Morka Shrine, skulls and entrance

Having completed four Chambers on Level One of the dungeon, I have now descended to level two.

For the Shrine special chamber I present just that - an Orc Gorka-Morka shrine, from the Games Workshop old Gorka Morka boxed set, if I remember correctly!

Slightly different angle

As a terrain piece or maybe an objective marker, this piece was moulded in two parts, I glued them together and spray painted black, before highlighting with a light grey spray paint and then a top highlight of white spray paint.

Gorka Morka Shrine, side view, wood panels

I painted the wooden frame and support planks brown, with metal work picked out in a steel colour. Around the base is a pile of skulls, painted a skull white colour, there is also a large greenskin face stretched between poles on the frame that makes an entrance to the shrine...

Back door!

I then spent way too much time coming back to this piece to add in the details. But, the fun in this piece was all the detail! This included what seemed like dozens of toadstools, all painted red with white spots, shields, skulls etc and the marvellous Moon Face icon on the top of the shrine 

Another side view

Everything was given washes and then matt varnished.


Lots of toadstools
