Story

Hey everyone, Matthew here from MiniWarGaming.

Eight years ago, I made a silly little campaign called Deffwatch, an orkified parody of our Deathwatch series. It was chaotic, hilarious, and packed with orky energy. Ever since, fans have asked, “When are you bringing back Deffwatch?”

Well now we are! But this time, we’re going bigger, louder, and meaner than ever before.

The Deffwatch Have Arrived!


Deffwatch is a brand-new narrative campaign show where two rival Ork kill teams.  On one side is Team Steve (da Morkers) and on the other is Team Josh (da Gorkers). They will both compete across missions to earn glory, loot, and bragging rights.

Each episode, they’ll be sent on insane objectives, sabotage each other’s plans, and fight over who’s da bestest of da best.

Your support makes the entire show possible.

🧠 Why We’re Running This Campaign

Every narrative campaign we make costs real teef, usually between $10,000 and $20,000 depending on the complexity, terrain builds, actors, and equipment.

We could play it safe.

Or we could go full orky and make something truly wild.

Your pledges fund things like:
  • 🎥 New camera gear and lighting for more cinematic episodes
  • 🧱 Custom-built terrain for epic battlefields
  • 🎭 Costumes, props, and set dressing (because orks love a good theme)

Backing this project doesn’t just get you awesome orc models, it directly funds the show’s creation and helps shape what MiniWarGaming can do next.

The Miniatures: Built by Gear Gut’s Mek Shop

To celebrate the return of Deffwatch, we’ve partnered with Gear Gut’s Mek Shop, known across the galaxy for creating some of the most characterful orc sculpts out there.

This collection includes 17 unique orc characters, plus drones and grots, each one a larger, personality-packed model perfect for your tabletop armies or painting shelf.






Gear Gut's Mek Shop has done a fantastic job of giving each model personality.

Available as:
  • 🧩 3D Printable STLs -  ready for your home printer
  • ⚙️ Physical Resin Prints - shipped directly from our forge

Stretch Goals & Future Shenanigans

We’re starting simple: 13 orcs and a super fun narrative campaign show.

But if the campaign takes off, we’ll add stretch goals to make Deffwatch even better:
  • Better equipment
  • New models and terrain
  • Extra characters or props
  • Maybe even guest appearances 👀

About MiniWarGaming

We started MiniWarGaming over eighteen years ago with one goal: to share the fun of tabletop wargaming with the world.

Since then, we’ve built a massive library of battle reports, narrative campaigns, and hobby content, all thanks to you, the MWG community.

Deffwatch is a love letter to that community: a mix of comedy, storytelling, and pure orky chaos.

Thanks for helping us make it happen.

Happy wargaming!

Shipping

We will charge shipping during the Pledge Manager portion of this campaign (i.e. after the initial 2 week campaign is over).

We cannot guarantee these exact shipping rates.  With the fluctuations of trade wars, Canada Post strikes, and everything else that is going on, it has become harder to predict exactly what shipping costs, tariffs, duties, and sales taxes will be.

For this reason, you will be responsible for any tariffs, duties, and sales taxes associated with your order upon receipt of your shipment.

For our American friends, these products should ship duty-free, but it has been our experience that all couriers do not do their due diligence with this and often charge duties and tariffs when they are not supposed to.  There is nothing we can do about this unfortunately.

The estimated shipping costs that we expect you to incur when we get ready to ship our as follows:

In Canada
  • $15 to $20 for each physical pledge and add-on

To the USA:
  • $15 to $25 for each physical pledge and add-on

Everywhere Else
  • $25 to $45 for each physical pledge and add-on
  • If Canada Post is not on strike, and you don't mind slower shipping via surface, then it will be closer to $15 to $25 for each physical pledge and add-on

FAQ

Can I use the models in my own games?
Absolutely. They make great orc characters, bosses, or stand-ins for your tabletop armies.

When will I get my rewards?
Digital rewards will deliver first, followed by printed miniatures once production is complete.

Will the show be public?
Episode 1 will be free for everyone; the rest will be available to backers and Vault members.

What if the campaign goes huge?
We’ll add stretch goals to make the production even bigger (and maybe add more minis).
