Digganob was the first supplement for 1997’s Gorkamorka. Diggas are humans who aspire to orkishness (orkdom? orkyness?) and take on the ork way of life. I picked up a mob off eBay for use in Five Parsecs/ Five Klicks and Necromunda: Ash Wastes. They will make good low-level enemies.
These miniatures are from what I think of as GW’s Silver Age. The poses are repetitive and the proportions and weapon sizes are off-putting, even for GW. They are, nevertheless, crisply cast with a lot of fine detail. They are vaguely piratical with cutlasses, earrings and black powder weapons.

Nostalgic, bad I agree, but nostalgic
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pancerni!
DeleteOhh, I remember these! I only played Orks on Gorkamorka, but I reckon these fellas gave a lot of flavour. I like your work on them. Of course the sculpts are what they are, part of an age, but that's part of their charm. You made an outstanding paintjob here :)
ReplyDeleteThey started to look better as soon as I put them on bases. But they are not my favourite sculpts.
