So after lurking on Dakka for like 15 years now, figure I might as well stop hiding.
I was on The-Waaagh when that was active (as Clark Kent), and after leaving GW in 2010, finally getting back into the hobby. Just started to start collecting again, and really got into 3D printing a year ago. I've got an Elegoo Mars Pro and Saturn, and have burned through more resin than I care to count.
I love tinkering. So much so that I usually never finish anything. To trim the pile of shame, lets get going.
Quick pic to show some of the stuff I'm working on.
Kromlech Afrika Korps boyz (45 to go)
Nob squad Punks (8 to go)
Vehicles for Orks - lots and lots and lots to go.
I attached the file - not sure if the pic is showing up or not. Anyway, howdy!

So I was cruising the net today, forgot about the Kill team release, and managed to grab 1 or 3 starter sets from a store online.
Lets add more to the pile of shame!

Well, that's a good start on whatever gigantic wagon that's going to be. Looking forward to seeing more. I, too, was once very active on the Waaagh forum (as Waaazag most likely). Good to see another Ork has wandered over to Dakka.

Got some good progress on this guy today. I've got another few hours to have fun with it tonight. Waiting for the engine to print out, which should be done by morning. Between working on this for a hour, going and playing with the geese and ducks and chickens, then coming back and hammering on it, pretty good afternoon!

Got quite a bit more done on it tonight, had to restart the engine print, it wasn't sticking to the plate. Got into the rivet grove tonight, and knocked out a couple hundred, then started going crazy with sheet plastic and armor plating everything.
I got a great idea for the ram (well, at least I think it is great lol ) so I'm waiting to fit that once the engine is done.

Three engine blocks to choose from, and I can't make up my mind. Actually that's not true, I know which one I want to use. I'll have to reconfigure some stuff, but it's gonna look rad. Now, I need to make some big honkin' exhaust pipes!

Another little update - Engine Blocks.
I think I'm going with the one on it, because of the blower, but I like the other ones too. Still loads more work to be done, but I keep thinking of new things to add to it.

Just got my Kill Team's in. I run Blood Axe's with mostly Kromlech Afrika Korps. Have to say, the Kromlech heads and arms fit pretty easily onto the Kommando Bodies (so far, only done a couple). I'm excited now as I'll have Afrika Korps Boyz and Kommandos now, should look pretty good together.
First Kommando Boy put together, no guns glued.

Work in Progress of the Afrika Korps Kommandos based off the new Kill Team Box Ork Bodies. I think I'll make seven or eight all said and done.

Man, I like these new Kill Team Kommando's, but the sprues I'm working with are just terrible with flash on them. I'll have to spend a good five to eight minutes per model to get the crap off. Anyone else have this problem? Or am I just lucky with bad flash?

Got a little work on my Gun Wagon today, still a ton more to do, but she's getting there! It started off as a 3d Printed Grot Tank, I played around with the dimensions and scale and upsized it to be more appropriate for a Gun Wagon. I'd guess about 40-50% done with the building.

Got my version of the Ork Kommando's from Kill Team Octarius done. Used lots of Kromlech Afrika Korps bits (Since my army is those, they fit in better). Still loads, and loads of flash trimming to do!

This time an easy one, Basing Miniatures
https://www.waaaghdaorks.com/post/tutorial-tuesday-basing-miniatures
Kind of excited - I got an itch to work on some fantasy / historical mini's so ordered some up from Amazon. I figure 50 multipart mini's for 75 bucks isn't too bad. Time to get cracking on the Solo RPG game I guess!

Very nice work, and nice to see a vehicle properly sized for these new (monstrous) scale orks- no way these big guys were going to fit well into the old battle wagon.
Where did you find the .stl files for the grot tank now Gun Wagon? I really like the tread units- lots of projects immediately suggest themselves.
I picked up Kromlech's 'Space Scots' a couple of years ago; I'm more of an IG player/painter than Ork, but really liked the lines they made and carried.
Very enjoyable work to drop in and catch up on!

Hey Meer_Cat,
The grot tanks I think I got on Thingverse, they were a free download. I'll go digging for the link and post it when I find it. The tracks are actually individual sides, so lots of good things to make out of them. Regarding Kromlech, I like their stuff. My IG these days are based on The Makers Cult, of the Feudal Militia (and tanks) which I've been printing out. I'm really, really digging those variants. I managed to snag nearly everything on sale, so I think the entire IG army was about 60-70USD during the sale. I have a terrible habit of wanting to only build horde armies lol!
A couple of pics of the grot tanks and the parts - if I can't find the links, I'll host the files on my blog. They were free, so hoping that doesn't get me in trouble Automatically Appended Next Post: I did find the link for those grot tanks - they are a paid file (On Cults3d) here's the link: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/goblin-revolution-mini-tanks
Well worth the $6.50 USD or so!

I geeked out way more than I thought I would of when I got my box of Oathmark Humans and Pirates from Frostgrave. The two plastic sets are like they are made for each other. Makes me wish I didn't sell off all my flat round bases a while ago!
Got these guys for my solo Tabletop RPG I'm working on, and I need to stop just building dudes so I can use them lol.
If anyone is looking for some great humans for a fantasy / dnd / rpg game, the Oathmark Humans (30 in a box) and Frostgrave Pirates (20 per box) are great. I'm going to be using some the pirates for some middle eastern warriors as well.
I want more now

So I'm getting bogged down on naming attributes for the tabletop RPG I'm working on. I'm trying to make it as simple as possible, but getting stuck as to the level of "rulesiness" to for each attribute. Sure, I could call things the regular strength, dexterity etc, but it just feels too... similar?
Anyway, if anyone has and good ideas / links / resources, fire away!

Thank you for the link- I'm now the proud owner of the .stl files (because I've never done grots before and can't imagine how I've made it this far in life without) and will get printing directly.
I'll take a look at your rules set, but I'm not the best guy to help here as for the past 20 years I've been much more painter than gamer.
I was looking through my 'Wall of Shame' (my plastic doesn't languish in dark, airless boxes, awaiting the light of day, no- mine hangs on pegboard right in front of my painting bench for 'inspiration) and I have a lot more Kromlech than I realized- they did some really nice self-propelled guns and that sort of thing that went along with the Astro-Covenanters.
I enjoy checking inhere to see what new things are going on- rock on!

Started to put some paint onto the kill wagon for the Orks. Not entirely sure of the color scheme, but I've picked out the camo pattern (Blood Axes, so it won't be subtle!). Still griming it up, then painting on top of that.
Automatically Appended Next Post: I never did like the barrel on the kill wagon - so I did a little snipping and replaced it. Still not 100% sold on the new one, but it's better than the little one it had before! Just got it primed, so waiting for it to dry and get more paint on it.
