What is Waaagh Dakka?
Waaagh Dakka is a fun virtual army centered around the concept that all Dakka members are part of a great Ork Waaagh called 'Waaagh Dakka'. Members of Waaagh Dakka select, paint and photograph an Ork model they feel best represents them, and then put those photos here on Dakka organized together with other members into 'mobs' to form a virtual Ork army.
You do not need to actually send the model you paint anywhere, this is just a virtual online army. You just need to pick a model & mob that you feel best represents you as a Dakka member, paint up the model to the best of your ability matching the existing paint schemes of the army and your chosen mob and then take some good quality pictures of your model.

History of Waaagh Dakka
Waaagh Dakka is an offshoot of a massive campaign originally started by Warchief Grog known as The War of Dakka (see page 28 of the Ork codex for more details). At the time, Grog was hell bent on defeating Commander Farsight and the Tau Empire, but was unable to match their formidable firepower. So he put the call out to all the Freebootas and Shooty boyz he could muster, including the infamous Kaptin Badrukk. He was bound and determined to outshoot even the Tau, and by god he eventually did!
One of the many Freebootas that flocked to Grog's call was none other than a warband led by the infamous Pirate Russ. A Bad Moon through and through, Russ's warband had always been fixated more on the dakka then the choppa, so they were quite ideally equipped to help Grog out in his fight against the Tau.
However, after successfully routing Commander Farsight and the Tau, Grog turned the attention of his Waaagh towards other, more rough and tumble opponents (such as the Tyranids) and the need for 'moar dakka' in his armies began to dwindle in favor of more up close and personal fighting units.
It was in a particularly brutal battle against the Tyranids that Warboss Russ was critically injured by a rampaging Trygon. Although the dok patched him up good (with a shiny new bionik skull, no less!), Russ was a changed Ork. He declared that he would be leaving the Waaagh and retiring to start a squig farm...a shocking turn of events for any Ork, let alone a Warboss!
In order to decide who would take over the warband, Russ pitted his toughest Nobs against each other in a single big brawl. Whichever one came out on top would be the new Warboss. It was from this scrap that a nob named yakface emerged victorious as the newly crowned Warboss yak.
Yak's first order of business was to promote the mek who had...erm...provided him with a few secret gizmos that had given him the edge in the Warboss free-for-all scrap. This new 'Big Mek' was the infamous Legoburna, a near genius (by Orky standards) at whipping up amazingly deadly contraptions of any variety.
Yak quickly realized that Grog's course for the Waaagh into the realm of close combat oriented battles was quickly lessening the usefulness of their dakka-centric warband. So after a night of boozin' and fightin' the decision was reached: yak's warband would leave Waaagh Grog! and strike out on its own new Waaagh. The goal of this new Waaagh would be amazingly simple (as what could be better for an Ork?): the pursuit of Dakka. Yak was determined to show that pure unadulterated dakka can always win the day, no matter who the foe!
And thus began Waaagh Dakka! The pursuit of finding and employing as much Dakka as Orkenly possible!
Characteristics of Waaagh Dakka
Warband Organization
Waaagh Dakka is a warband with heavy leanings towards the Bad Moon clan (especially as Warboss yak is a Bad Moon himself). That means the warband always has lots and lots of teef with which buy the craziest and exotic armor and weapons, especially those capable of putting out more dakka! Those teef are also used to buy and maintain plenty of crazy vehicles, koptas & big gunz, as well as to employing a host of Freeboota elements, like Flashgitz.
Although Warboss yak may be consumed with having more dakka, he isn't stoopid, so he still employs plenty of slugga boyz and grots, if for no other reason then to keep the enemy away while his shoota boyz are reloadin' their gunz!
Warband Appearance
Being primarily a Bad Moon warband, Waaagh Dakka certainly appreciates the classic yellow & black motif.
However, Warboss yak is known to stray from common Orky conventions from time to time, and being a Bad Moon at heart he has a clear love for valuables materials from every race and kulture. After fighting the 'umies for many years, yak developed a love for gold that continues to this day. Both he and his warband are often tricked out in gold plating complimented by grey uniforms...just cause yak thinks the two look good together!
Finally, as an accent color Waaagh Dakka gravitates towards red, if for no other reason then because its "da color dose 'umies bleed when ya gut 'em!"
When it comes to army symbology, besides the standard bad moon glyphs and yellow/black checkers, Waaagh Dakka also employs the unique logo of a burst...with a yellow interior and red trimmed edges...sometimes even containing the words 'Dakka Dakka' inside it.

Trukk Slugga Boyz - Da Durty Duzzen
Mob Description: Led by Arakasi - formerly Blood Axe Kommando Nob - Arakasi's reckless (even by Ork standards) actions in the field have led to significant enemy, Kommando and Ork casualties over the years - to the point that he can no longer find enough Kommandos crazy enough to follow him into battle. Instead, troublesome and/or outcast Orks are now assigned to his unit to redeem themselves and set loose to wreak mayhem on the enemy - as far away as possible from any allied forces. Hence, Arakasi's Durty Duzzen are a rag tag bunch of misfits and outcasts from various tribes and warbands - whose only common element is the uniform they are assigned so that other Orks may identify them and stay away! Arakasi's Durty Duzzen are considered dangerous, a loose cannon, expendable - just the way they like it!
Crookshank(Second In Carnage) - formerly Speed Freaks Boy - Crookshank is obsessed with killing anything and everything. He has been disciplined many times for making the first kill before his Nob Boss. Finally after his Boss had enough he had a mask burned to Crookshank's face to teach him a lesson. I didn't work. After his Speed Freaks Mob joined Waaagh Dakka Crookshank was kicked over to Arakasi's 'Da Dirty Duzzen hoping it would bring an end to the boy. Crookshank has never been happier.

Killa Kan Squadron- Da Kroozin Klanker's
Mob Description: Only the most crazy of grot's volunteer to be put in a Kan, fed up of the big boys bossing em around. The one's that survive the operation become a key part of the ork army. Practically fearless after the local Painboy's fiddled with their "inny bits" and made a few improvements, Da Kroozin Klanker's are often at the front of the charge in battle, the grots inside screaming their orky lungs out, and revving up their close combat weapons. Trampling foes (and sometimes friends!) they storm through the enemy, leaving a bloody trail of mangled bodies in their wake. Their voices may be small but their weapons and most importantly their hearts are big, so join up join up!
On the lookout for: Two Killa Kan's, preferably with a different weapon loadout but not too picky!
Model Requirements: A close combat weapon and a shooty gun, anything else is optional!
Mob Paint Scheme: A Bronze drybrush over Black Primer, followed by a Gunmetal Gray drybrush and finally a very light drybrush of Silver over prominent areas, other methods can be used as a base for the model of course. Then I paint the details mainly Flat Yellow, with some orange, red, gray and green for diversity. All the yellow areas are then accented with Cavalry Brown .
The base is done as per requirements with gravel drybrushed with Stone Grey after a basecoat of Black.
