Da Green Horde

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've always liked the concept of orcy humans and thought the Diggaz would also work great in a fantasy setting like WHFB or Age of Sigmar. That's why I decided to build a small force of barbarians with green warpaint and add them to my Waaagh.

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...
