GorkaMorka Wasteland Terrain

Have been working on various elements of Gorkamorka for the last 2 weeks. I've got 6 models completed that have magnetic arms and weapon packs. It would seem the more inebriated I am the better the magnets respond because the other day I spent 2 hours trying to unfrak a couple of the magnets that were set with the wrong polarity; while I was sober... but alas, that is for another post.

I've also been working on a new terrain table for more than 5 days now. Jonny asked for some pics... all I have are WIPs. The following shows you 2 sections of the 4 I'm working on. Yep that will make an 8 foot board. Not shown is the board with a series of islands over a toxic lake, and then the starts of an abandoned Imperial city. The sections are partially modular. Since I took the image below, I've completed 2 more levels of dry brushing as well as a final wash of Woodland Scenics: Burnt Umber. It looks great but you'll have to see it for yourself (when is the next game??? and when is Joel going to respond to my emails????)  I ran out part way through the final coat so I've had had to cease paint ops until my ebay order arrives. Otherwise, I plan on adding a series of modular: rock spires, wooden forts, wrecked vehicles, a "Mork-Donalds", and various scrap piles. As it stands, I should be done with 3 of the 4 sections by Saturday. One way or another, you'll have an update with pics!

  2. Hell yeah dude! Working on the island section and a rocky outcropping-oasis at the moment; w/ palm trees, boulders and water effects...

    Ready to play when you are brother! Whether it be 40k or a skirmish game... just need a few more days to knock this out and move on to the models. Where the heck is Joel?
