A community dedicated to the universe of Warhammer 40k, a tabletop setting in the far, distant future.

This is a general community for 40k miniatures, art, lore discussion, and gameplay discussion.

Rules

  1. Keep it civil.
  2. No memeposts/shitposts. Memes are great but direct them to grimdank.
  3. Please mark any posts containing realistic nudity or realistic excessive gore/violence as NSFW; this rule mainly applies to cosplay and realistic drawings rather than miniatures. Being that 40k is inherently violent, this is a judgement call, and mods may occasionally request posters add tags.
  4. No political or social cause agenda pushing.

This crew of Ork-wannabes are my Diggamob. They currently don't have names, apart from the test model - Zagatha (back left). I mostly don't like the old Digga range, but there's a few exceptions, so I went with those.

I've no idea when I'll get around to fielding them in Gorkamorka, but hopefully at some point. I deliberately opted for no heavy weapons on the vehicles to field more bodies. Diggas have access to archeotek and can get some very fancy bits of kit - but to find them and wield them effectively numbers are required.

These are a combination of GW's original minis from 1998 and Red Nebular's Primal Raider range: https://www.myminifactory.com/users/Red%20Nebular

I mainly painted them using contrast/speed paints, but I didn't have the requisite paints when I did the test model, so the skin ended up being done the traditional way. I regret it, but it was too late to do anything about. I'm not overly fond of how they turned out, but hey, done is the best feature.

There's a few more pics here: https://imgur.com/a/07Mzj17

Also, just to pre-empt it, no, the faction aren't called "digganobs". They're called "diggas", you memelords.

Red Nebular’s Primal Raider range

Fun. Putting these in a folder for some future Necromunda projects.

I think the skin, at least on the most exposed shirtless digga with the red mohawk came out on exactly the same wavelength as the sculpts. The shading and shapes are pretty heavy handed, but in a way that fits the oldhammer style of sculpt.

Overall a cool and rare sighting of digganobs.

Flamekebab! Gorkamorka on lemmy! I guess I shouldn't be surprised there's crossover but pleased to see these fellas again anyhow 😂
