Can Ork Terrain Be 40K 11th Ed. Legal? | Building Orkton
In this build video, I start work on Orkton, a Blood Axe Village—an 16-piece Warhammer 40,000 terrain set designed around the new 11th Edition tournament-legal terrain footprints.
This first episode covers the first six pieces: template preparation, masonite bases, missile launchers, ammo dumps, removable terrain features for gameplay, first-pass painting, Ork checks and markings, and the first proper look at the set with models in place.
The goal is simple: keep the terrain 40K 11th Ed. legal without giving up the creativity, personality, and ridiculous engineering that makes Ork scenery fun.
You’ll also meet Kruk Stonetoof Nuzgrub and Skeeter Snarkfitter—the actual models from my 1998 Canadian Warhammer 40,000 Grand Tournament army—now dragged back into service almost thirty years later.
Their intercepted story is available at knebl.ca.
This project is also my first serious exploration of WHammertronics: terrain built using genuine Games Workshop components, with lighting, movement, sound, electronics, and gameplay all designed together rather than added as an afterthought.
And yes, the video ends with me doing something unusual:
complimenting Games Workshop.
More Orkton is coming.
