Orks love to kill. So much so that there gods literally represent bashing your brain out with a rock. This brings me to my point. What if there was human cultists to gork and mork, and could be allied with an ork force? I wonder if this would work so tell me if it would!

Gorkamorka 'umies are what you need son. Digganobs are feral humans who paint themselves green and try and be the best orks they can be.

So, should I get the cultist miniatures and paint there skin green?

I don't know man, that was in the 80's, not really a time known for cosmetic styles. Just make mad max style characters with some orky bits onto them and I'd say they'll look good.

I think Chaos Marauder and Catachan bits with the Chaos and Imperial symbols filed off and lots of Orky bits added would be better than using the cultist models, honestly. Diggas had a much more barbaric look, which doesn't mesh well with all the gas mask and hooded models in the cultist set, IMHO.

I know you can get some Catachan bits fairly cheap online. If you collect Orks, you're sure to have spare choppas, glyphs, and shoulder pads lying around.

I have a lot left over from my old battleforce kit. That would probably work.

Why have I never heard of this before....


Soooo much conversion potential!

Digganob wasn't 80s; it was a little before the release of 3rd ed 40k, I want to say late nineties.

Check out the Masters of the Forge podcast as I believe they do an episode on ork-worshiping humans.

1998: Digganob came out in February, 3rd edition came out in October.
