Comp 56 - Badlands Racer

[Stoof]

We have 13 excellent entries detailed here - poll is up, it ends next Sunday at ~9:40 AM uk time.

Extremely difficult to pick three due to the variety and quality on display - I forsee a multi-way tie for at least two of the positions. Get voting!

Spoiler: Theme Post

The theme for comp 56 is...

Badlands Racer

Build a race car/vehicle entry for the Scrap Drive 1000, Hive Primus's premier race series. Numbers, sponsors and racin' stickers encouraged! Should it end up featuring in a community event later in the year then so be it.

(Edit - as usual it's a thematic guideline - a racing vehicle for your setting of choice, so it can be GoMo, mordheim, etc etc)

Comp closes Midnight UK time on Sunday 4th May (usual caveat, Monday morning etc etc)

Usual rules apply. Have fun!

Spoiler: Original post

I invite @AngryPenguin as the winner of Comp 55, plus @Pagumb, @MedMos and myself as three (but also four) quickest entries not including winners (not at all confusing), to submit a theme for the next competition.

If these can come in swiftly we'll have a quick vote to hopefully end this coming Sunday (23rd).

Why not check out the Brainstorming thread for something to tickle those inspiration nodes if nothing comes to mind?

Time waits for no one.

Build and paint an experienced fighter who has battled their way through their life, for better or for worse. Have they found wealth and power? Have they had several limbs replaced with augmetics? Have they been left crippled and destitute by the wayside? You decide!

The End of Procrastination.

Finally finish that model you brought 10+ years ago that would be awesome for something but never got around to doing. Or alternatively an Idea thats been rolling around your head for years and just never got around to it.

Borrowed from @rustedchrome's excellent idea post.

 

[MedMos]

Come on in, the water is fine!
Make some sort of water based feature (terrain piece) or monster/elemental/water bender.

Edit: And yes, sump water definitely counts.

Thank you all, excellent ideas. Poll is up! It closes at 09:30am UK time on Sunday 23rd.

Comp officially starts when the poll closes, though I will confirm the result.

 

[rustedchrome]

Thanks for the tag! It brought me back... from the land of the dead... where they make you punch time cards and feed small children.

Too bad I missed the last YakkComp, it would have been a fun one!

 

[MedMos]

Tomorrow morning! And I might even have half a day off from house work tomorrow, looking forward to doing some hobby again!

 

[Stoof]

A resounding success for Badlands Racer! Good choice, let's go!

A resounding success for Badlands Racer! Good choice, let's go!

I blame @rustedchrome's campaign.

But yes, good choice, I'm in! I'll be doing a monster truck for gaslands, progress in my plog. https://yaktribe.games/community/threads/medmos-wip-the-slowjuicer-of-plogs.5671/post-329496

I'm going to try and make something like this, but more rough & ready:

The closest car I can find to that in the scale I know is good is a vintage Dinky Cadillac Eldorado. How do I know it's a good scale? Because my Escher already drive one as a gang ride...

Sweet Ride for my Escher

A Dinky 1953 Cadiallac Eldorado

I don't want to strip the existing one, so I've got a bid in on a thoroughly mangled one on Ebay. I'm going for an off road/banger racing look. I'll put an armoured roof on it, since it's a convertible, probably with a gunner's position. Raised up and put on bigger off-road tyres too. I need to think of some fun sponsors for it.

 

[rustedchrome]

Oooh very nice!

I have an idea in mind but don't have the right raw materials. Going to have to check out some thrift and dollar stores.

I also told my 14 year old about YakComps and he might make something too. He loves Gaslands already but he's an ork nut so who knows what'll happen.

 

[MusingWarboss]

Well, well, well. I’ve had an old Warpath Orx Raptor sat around in piece for years. Maybe over a decade now.

Perhaps it’s finally time to assemble and paint it?

My vehicle for this comp arrived earlier:

Yakcomp vehicle

I've been planning to Orkify one of these ever since it was first released. This comp should provide the perfect excuse.

 

[Ben_S]

Build a race car/vehicle entry for the Scrap Drive 1000, Hive Primus's premier race series.

Just to be clear...

(a) Scrap Drive 1000 is something that someone just made up for this comp, and not something we're supposed to be familiar with, right?

And (b) we're not really tied to that in particular? I see people are talking about Gaslands or Ork vehicles, which might suit Gorkamorka, but presumably not a Hive Primus race series.

So, the theme is simply race cars...

 

[Trafalgar Law]

That was my interpretation especially as @rustedchrome campaign was Ork vehicles. I'm no longer sure though now you've raised the question.

 

[Stoof]

It's a guideline - could be a Necromunda racer, could be a fantasy chariot racer, could be orky.

A racing vehicle for your setting of choice.

 

[Punktaku]

Bodacious Space Pirate racing yacht?!?

 

[Narflung]

I've been really stuck for an idea as I had intended to shift away from GorkaMorka for this comp. I'll think of something, hopefully less painful than my last entry.

 

[MedMos]

... for your setting of choice.

I just assumed this stipulation, in this case of a very setting specific theme. Seems like the yakcomp way.
