The splash image you would see upon visiting Da Klub

Da Gargant Ownerz Klub was a website dedicated entirely to showcasing Ork Gargant models scratch-built for Warhammer 40,000. They operated out of the now-defunct gargant-owners-club.tripod.com, which was removed from hosting at some point after 2015. It is unknown when the website began, but it was active since at least 2006.

While initially acting as a simple gallery of user-submitted gargant glamor shots, the website added a forum early in its lifetime, and evolved into a hub for seasoned and would-be Ork scratch-builders alike.

Forum

The forum was known to be a nexus for large-scale scratch-building advice. Everything from internal structures to how to make realistic gun barrels, which Gretchin models looked best as ratings to which children's toys would appear most formidable as close combat weapons could be found there.

While many forum-goers would simply go off on their own and build their huge models without consulting anyone else (and then post long WIP forum-stories about their feats and failures) others would reference tips and tricks threads that helped them when they posted their own stompy death machines.

Works

Being a web community before social media, they had a fan-zine called Da Boiler Room Fanzine. What's that? You young whipper-snappers don't know what a fan-zine is? It's a self-published magazine made by fans! What, you don't know what a magazine is? Grrr, kids these days...

They also created a homebrew codex called Codex: Gargants. Given the age of the original archivals and how little changed over the years, it is likely to be a 3rd Edition project, though it may still be playable through to 7th Edition (when vehicle armor facings were removed).

They created the Gargant Size Chart, also located in the gallery below. It's notable because, in the years since its creation, it has become more accurate and logical than Games Workshop themselves when it comes to canon scale of Gargants and some other Titans.

There was also a guide to building Gargants on a budget, but it was either never archived or never finished.
