Peacetime Orks create the Formula Ork Racing Championship

About the Project
The Formula Ork Racing Championship is my brutally violent, ludicrously fast racing series for Beastsnaggas. Warhammer 40,000 Orks don’t enjoy peacetime, so when they have a break from smashing Space Marines or Imperial Guard, they’re honing their war skills on the race track! For a series of videos for Orktober 2021, I’m creating dioramas that explore the question: "What do Orks get up to when they aren’t at WAAAGH!!!?"

This Project is Completed
Marking out the diorama board and adding the spectator areas
I started with an A4 sheet of 2mm polystyrene as my baseboard and marked out the curve of the track with a Sharpie.
I used natural DAS clay to create the raised spectator area for the goblins and snotlings, and Tamiya 1/35 walls to build an enclosure for ork spectators on the far side of the road.
Track and spectator areas fully painted and minis added
For the video series, I wanted to have fully painted backgrounds and grey miniatures (to stay brand consistent lol), but I’ll paint the minis at a later date.
Miniatures are from:
Beastsnagga boxed set (40K)
Goblin team (Blood Bowl)
Ogre team (Blood Bowl)
Start Collecting Iron Jawz (Age of Sigmar)
Road made with:
Vallejo thick brown mud and black lava
Citadel Mordant Earth
AK Interactive Engine Grime and Engine Oil
Spectator area made with:
Citadel Astrogranite Debris
Green Stuff World red matt surface primer
