My two current armies I’ve created have been very successful and full of character…


The Grot Rebellion & The Darkmakers & Their Undead legions!

Now I’m looking to create a themed army based round close combat and the best one for that is Orks and I’ve always been a fan of barbaric humans in Sci-fi films such as Mad Max and Waterworld. I’ve been thinking of doing an army based on them for some time now.

I’ve looked at different armies to portray these characteristics with such as Chaos Berserkers and Orks, Guard are out the question as I want to break away from shooty based armies and combat is big no for guard!

In the end I decided to go with Orks as they seem best suited for a barbaric civilization from a toxic industrial death world. I’ve decided to call them ‘The Kroggs’ as it sounds very suited to their background.

Luckily a Gorkamorka campaign is being held at my local club and I choose to play with a Digga mob because it would give me an excellent chance to convert a large group of feral humans.
Which would allow me to see how a mob of them looked and decide wheather or not to continue with my plan for feral human themed ork army.




What do you think? Should I build them up into a large 40k army using the Ork codex?

I dig them. If you enjoyed doing the warband than go for a full army. If it seemed too much like a chore, brainstorm some more for another army concept.

Those feral humans are truly awesome, you should definitely do a whole army of them!

HAHA "dig" them. and they're a digga mob.

great work

im thinking of doing this with cultists of khorne
strange coincidence

They could absolutely be a full army. Because they look great.

Those would make a great army. Of course thats easy to say since I don't have to make and convert every single one of them.

reminds me of fallout... Awesome!

It would work if they had more than a minimal amount of firepower, otherwise they would get shot down like dogs in the street. (Lost and the Damned, Hooo!!!!...)

Go for it dude, it'd be like the Reavers from Fire Fly.

Here's another photo of the squad...



and my Ard Boy conversion...

If you upload the pics of your different armies, you wont have to introduce them in every thread you make

*wink

awesomely mad maxish.. and you should give an army of them a go using the ork codex as a basis

i so wanted to give an empire army with all gondor models at one point.. but never did.. shame.

They look very characterful. I think you will enjoy making them. Start with a few mobs to get a 500p army, then you will know if you want to expand it.

I like it. Very mad max/diggas like.

Being used as Orks right?

Cool Cool so we gonna see some OOOOGE abhumans

Very Cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wasnt really expecting to like them when I heard the title, but now that I've seen them, you've made a fan of me.

It seems like a lot of work, but would be awesome to see them fielded as an ork army.

Only thing is that if you want the leader to be a nob, he should be bigger.

wicked sweet, more guns then.

Biggest problem is making human sized power klaws the orks one are the same size as the guys torso!?!

Also heres the army list for these guys, any feedback would be helpful: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/238273.page#691832

You got some really great stuff there!!!

that is sooo cool and gives me an idea

DO IT!!!

seriously, the mad max thing is awesome.

by the by, were did you happen to find the rules for digga mobs? im trying to find them and the rules for muties. (Gorkamorka, FTW!!)

Is there a mob actually called Digga mobs?

Diggas came from the Gorkamorka game. They were the surviving descendants from a human ship crew that crashed into the planet. Having no other role models, they emulated the Orks.
