You would model it as an objective, as it replaces one in your half of the table. The thing to reference it to is an Eldar Wraithgate.

I'm just making one. Mostly barrels and a sort of rudimentary lollypop stick move shaft (trying to chanel mid West prospectors)

It is for all intents a dwarven version of the Eldar wraithgate and follows those rules. It represents the top of the mine (the entrance is called a pithead) which would be a realistic thing to have on a planet.

No pics of models I am afraid. As for the base size, that would really be limited to the interpretation of the rules relating to the size of objectives. I've seen some objectives 3 inches across! Just as long as there is some decision (ex. measurement is to the center of the objective) you should have broad latitude on the creation of the pithead.

We always play from the centre of the objective (Or the back centre in the case of the blitz).
This covers the array of objectives from small tokens, to larger dioramas

Quick question about transport, forgive me for my noobery, but if I have a squad of 18 stands can they go in one hellbore and a termite, or does it have to be nine termites?

In your example I would say that you have to fit a full formation in the Hellbore so no it would be only Termites and Moles that you could mix and match.

Cheers. How about 2, 8 stand units sharing a hellbore?

Reading the wording and being pedantic I would say no, again a full formation must fit into the Hellbore.

What wording are you being pedantic about? Isn't it common to up two formations in one WE transport? Like 4devs and 4assault in a thunder hawk. Have I been getting things very wrong or is there something else about the Hellbore that I'm missing?

Was not trying to be pedantic but The no.extra spaces bit. Re-reading the hellbore appears to be an exception.
