Waaagh Dakka is a fun virtual 'army' where all Dakka members are part of a great Ork Waaagh. Members select, paint and photograph an Ork model they feel best represents their personality on Dakka, and then organize their photos together with other members into 'mobs' that together form a big virtual Ork army (no need to send your models anywhere!).

This is a great community project that can really give you some inspiration to model and paint something you perhaps wouldn't normally attempt! This project was semi-secretly launched a few months ago in the private DCM forums to get a few mobs up and running for people to jump right into, so you can already go and check out what's been done already.

Here is the main Waaagh Dakka page.

There is also How to Join Waaagh Dakka, which contains detailed information on how to join.

If you are interested in joining Waaagh Dakka, then please direct any questions and/or WIP discussion to this thread.


I hope everyone finds this project interesting and challenging and joins in!

Dang, looks like I'm gonna need to find an ork model around my house

Can I steal the banner for my sig?

This is one of the coolest thing's I've seen done on anything.
Will have to dig out my spare orks and build myself something fun

I like this! Gunna look through my models to see if I can find me an Orc model I can build for this!

Lots of oppotunity here to do what you want! Many mobs to choose from and all with their own interesting variations on the Waaagh! Dakka theme.

C'mon boyz! Gather up! A Waaaaaagh! is a brewin!

Dang it! Decisions, decisions.... What mob to join?

Waaaagh! Oh sorry, thought I was at an event.

To simulate a true "Waaagh" moment at an event, you need to totter unbalanced as you scream it with an alcoholic Monster drink in your hand.

I need to paint up a damn Ork for this!

You might want to hold off on that, as I already have him leading the Kommando squad.

Sorry, Ozy.

Hmm. Now I've got to finish my Stompa projekt.

Eric

There is warbands that are available that you can start.

Simply see what is available and follow the instructions on how to claim your own unique band of Waaagher!

As for me, I have the Deffstormas as my band. Come join my part of the Waaagh!

i am no big shot i prefer to join a normal mob as i am not allowed to become a runtherder :(

Will be working on mine this coming week . Love the banner!

What an interesting concept, I may just have to purchase something to go onto this!

My trukk is on the way, for those interested in seeing how its going there are some wip shots in my gallery under 'Dakka Moonz'

Which is a Bad Moon faction based on the Waaagh Dakka Colour scheme, so I can make good use of my Trukk and Aurelia's Battlewagon after they are finished.

Clearly, people should join the Burnaz Mob.

I'll see who i can dig up

Da Big Gunz is recruiting ammo... er Grots fer shooting da dopest piece of dakka around

Da Intaceptahs give you da most Dakka fer yer Dakka - so hop on our Trukk (under construction) and let's gooo!

I guess I gotsa get on with painting up someone. I'll do a Meganob Boss, because why the hell not.

Wait, there's a whole squad of Kommandos? No offense Kan, but I'm not sure I want to be part of your squad...

The way it works is that people form 'mobs' of the same type of models. So if you want to be a Kommando then you join the current 'mob' of Kommandos.

Kanluwen has finished (?) painting a Kommando Nob (although he hasn't put it up yet on the Waaagh Dakka page), so therefore he is/was in charge for creating the fluff/description/details for the Kommando mob.

As I'm trying to keep the number of 1 person mobs to a minimum the basic 'rule' is that if a certain type of mob currently exists (and has spots available) then you can't just go start a new mob of that same type, you need to join the existing mob. So if you wanted to be a Kommando then you'd be part of the same mob as Kanluwen.

I wouldn't get too caught up about who you're in the mob with. This isn't a clique to get certain people to join or not join your mob, but rather just a group modeling/painting exercise.

Meganobs are reserved for moderators only. Sorry! You can be a regular Nob in a Nob mob or a Cybork Nob in the Cybork Nob squad we have already.

Hmmmm... maybe I can cobble together a Kommando looking nob from some Kromlech Ork bits... You know, an Ork Nob always has to be looking over his shoulder as an enterprising Ork may try to replace him...

Wish I had some orks Left over. I would so total join this XD

I did it today, actually.

This is a really cool idea, but it's kind of sad that certain mobs are only open to DCMs.

I wanted to do my own mob but alas, you got there first. Me Burna's gonna look a bit left out...

EDIT: Question
For anybody who's seen me warboss, could he count as a Tankbusta? Just curious. (Link of thread is in sig btw, to save clutter).
