To become a Marine:
*attend a TribeMeet event (either in person or as a hired gun) -you are now a Yakling
*pick a squad to join -the first event you will be a scout, the second event you will be in second company, 3rd in 3rd, etc. Until you reach Veteran Company.
*build a mini based on your Yak rank -must have armour and equipment according to your position, but otherwise it’s completely upto you!
*bring mini to next TribeMeet where photos will be taken in parade formation.
*optional: for anyone who doesn’t mind giving their mini away, names will be put in a hat and one lucky yak will win the whole detachment!
To join the imperial guard (Yakstra militarum?):
*leave a post on this thread, saying you wish to join!
*optional: when you do make it to a TribeMeet, bring your fully painted guard mini, join the parade and enter the prize draw!
If anyone wishes to take a pic of their Yakmarine (/guard) before TribeMeet, that would be grand!

Homeworld: Necromunda
Chapter badge: The Yak
Company colours: none, It is up to each individual Yak to paint his own armour any colour they like, tho there is nothing to say Yaks can’t co-ordinate between squad members if they wish.
Battlecry: FOR MALO! FOR THE TRIBE!
Formation:
*Company Comand HQ - The High Lords of Yak
*The Yakscouts
*Companies 2-5 Battle Companies
*Company 6 Assault Company (bikes)
*Company 7 Assault Company (jump packs)
*Company 8 Assault Company (land speeders)
*Company 9 The Long Horns
*Veteran Company The Yak Guard
Organisation:
*The Great Yak - Company Grand Master - Malo
*Yak Lord- Company Commanders- The Yaktribe Admins
*Yak Guard- Elite Veterans- any yakman who makes it to ten years service or who a Yak lord sees fit to promote
*Yak Captain- Acting Yak Commander- any yak foolish or nieve enough to organise a TribeMeet.
*Yak Priest- Company Chaplain- a yak promoted by a yak captain for going beyond the call of duty
*Word Priest- Company Librarian- a Yak promoted by a yak captain for great deeds of literature and organisastion
*Troll Priest- Company Techmarine- a Yak who provides at least two or more tables worth of terrain for an event
Apothecary- Company Medic- a Yak who kindly offered to be event photographer
Dreadnaught- a Yak who finishes at least 3 events in the bottom two places may opt to become a company dreadnought!
*Yak Sergeant- squad commander- A yak promoted by a yak captain for organising or fleshing out a campaign or scenario
*Yak Corporal- squad specialist- A Yak who won one of the many brilliant awards
*Yakmarine- trooper- here’s your bolter, try harder next time
*Yakscout- aspiring marine- a first year yakker
*Yaklings- what are you waiting for, pick a squad to join
A yak may stay where he is or become a rank and file if they so choose!
For every yak who shows their support on the Yakmarine thread, but cannot attend a TribeMeet, they will get added to the yakmarine Fortress Monestary imperial guard regiment (yet to be named).
Then for every 5 yaks that become guard, the earliest to join goes up in rank, until full squads are formed, then platoons, then company, then regiments....
*guardsman
*specialist (5)
*sergeant (10)
*heavy (15)
*luitenant (20)
*captain (40)
*colonel (80)
So for example, today is your first day in the Corp, 4 others join up after you, so you become a specialist, 5 more join the next day, so you become a Sergeant, the next day another 5 so you become a heavy etc etc.
Also, if you get to leuitenant status, You can have a chimera to roll about in, (inside/on the battlefield/whatever)
If you get to captain status, you can opt to make your entire company a chimera Company (iron fist???)
And if you reach colonel you can make your company an armoured Corp!
This is going to be a super slow burning project so apologies up front for any mistakes I make or if it takes me ages to update!

Anyone remember that piece of art midway through rogue trader depicting a couple of brightly regaled renegade space marines sat at a table?
For abit of a laugh and abit of a community project, I would like to create a space marine chapter -The Yakmarines!
The idea is that for every year you attend a TribeMeet event you put yourself up for promotion, and if you are interested in taking part in the project, then you may select a Squad to join! So that each year you get promoted to a new company and eventually make it to veteran status!
My hopes is that everyone who joins in will make a mini of their space marine ‘selves and we can get a good group photo at the meets and possibly (if people are up for it) have a lottery or prize so one lucky yak will walk home with a pocket full of space marines and a smile on their face!
Iv ‘invented’ afew custom titles for different types of marine, but otherwise it will be the standard spacemarine chapter organisation with afew tweeks. (So don’t get yer knickers in a twist if it doesn’t comply with the latest, or any, gw canon!)
