Digganobz in the Mortal Realms

My love for greenskins stems from the 90's tabletop game Gorkamorka (not to be confused with the god of Destruction in the Age of Sigmar).

I really like the sculpt, it looks like a cross between a toad and a squig - a perfect mount for a swamp goblin. In a future post I will present a few River Trolls (or should I say Fellwater Troggoths) that will join the ranks of Da Boghoppaz, as well as a large monste
