Competition Yak 19 " Bits Box Challenge"
- Thread starter djmothra
- Start date
Nicely done!Wow, these are some truly impressive entries so far everyone! Here's my first ever contest entry, a plastic marine I've had in my bitz box since the mid-90s. I plan to use this for a SW:A special operative or something.
You must have the steadiest of hands my friend! (Must be the scout-marine sniper genus in you....)

That's a relief (the closing date that is) especially as I bumped into some fellow Canadians in my local pub last night who happened to be from my neck of the woods. Imagine travelling half way round the world ... and meeting someone from the end of your Street!
After introducing them to a traditional 'British Lock In' we didn't leave the pub until 05:00am this morning, and I was far too ... lubricated ... to continue with NorbOrk. I may just have to post what I've done so far as soon as I get back from work today.

Final entry pics.
From this...
C&Cs welcome as always.
Nuts! That is the only C&C I can give. Totally nuts.
Wish I could do that.
It's like some sort of dark magic!

Great work again @Kommissar Shriken ! Love the rawness of these guys (like raw chaos meat!) the tin-foil spawn is excellent!
Also the "Cadia is dead graffiti is a really nice touch"
Fantastic!

I've fail to even get started on a comp entry this time, sorry guys. Usual BS, busy with work, family, life.(damn you real life)
All great entries so far, can't wait to get voting.
Good luck all!

Woo Hoo ... I actually managed to complete something! Here he is, scratch built NorbOrk the DreadnOrk:
The painting needs a LOT more work on it to fully finish it off, but I'm happy with what I managed to do in a day.
My WIP log is here: https://yaktribe.games/community/threads/azzabats-entry-comp-19-bitz-blitz.5687/
This has been one of my favourite comps, and again I'm blown away by the standard of everybody's entries.
Good luck everyone. = )

My entry pales compared to some of the ambition and results shown by the other contestants, and contains far too much unpainted plastic for my liking! But, here more or less is what I managed to kitbash from my bits box in the last month or so - Denizens of Angel Falls
It's been a good comp because I will be continuing to make more models along these lines for some time to come! Many more individual photos and parts lists are on my project log here:

This is my final product. Not as much as I hoped but a good foundation for my future work with green stuff.
Not long ago location scouts for Hive Guys saw an exciting opportunity in this rusty tin can:
Recruited some new employees:
And jazzed the place up a little using bitz from here:
New franchise now open! You haven't lived until you've tried Hives!
So so many more tiny details on this that I'd like to share with you but cannot in a single image. Therefore check the Wiseman Industries blog here for a whole new slew of photos. Oh, and, have a nice day!

I completed* four of my motley crew. Reworking my theme slightly, here is a slice of the "between missions" part of Necromunda you don't usually see. May I present "The Doctor Will See You Now"...
From top left clockwise:
The Doc - If you need to visit him you must be desperate. He doesn't trim his nails or wash his scrubs. His death rate is higher than his crazy-steep fees. That Inject-o-matic looks PAINFUL. But he knows his stuff, and may just save your life. May. Now, meet his henchmen...
Slim - Originally a Van Saar who couldn't pay his medical bill, he chose work it off. Now Slim guards the Doctor, and has become addicted to 'upgrades', becoming something of a test bed for the Doc.
Severus - A former Goliath ganger, clad in an old, baroque HazViro suit. Severus ensures anyone who doesnt pay up promptly pays for it. He wields a fearsome Autocannon, made more ferocious (and ballistically preposterous) by attaching a Massive Axe underneath.
Dihn - Horrifically wounded in a Hivequake, hot-headed Dihn has had his arm replaced by a blade, his torso reinforced with cybernetics, and his morals almost completely bypassed. At least, that's his excuse...
*Completed? Well kinda. I haven't properly based them yet, Dihn is rough and unfinished, and on the Doc I used the Eavy Metal shortcut of painting mostly what you can see from the front ;-) I'm still really happy with them. Thanks once again for the motivation, praise and support, Yakkers!

Oh last moment entries. Just before I was like: "Cool, this one got my vote and this one for sure and third one as well." Now is like: "Moar votes!". Amazing entries all of them, each in it's own way.
I'm really blown away by the entries!
I am feeling a bit sorry that I didn't get it together to enter this time. However, I'm very much looking forward to choosing and voting
Great work everyone!

Awesome yummy, delicious fluff, great entry @Xavier Bacon , - and so good to see you finally get an entry in too! - after spending D3 games away due to your infected wound...
Love the characterfulness of this entry and the whole story behind this rag-tag band of malevolents! - really like the Doc and his syringe, his expression is pure Eeeevil!!!
The poses are ace too and I frikken love the "ol Eavy-metal trick" of only painting one side of the model!! - Hahahaha. Might use this one day (it has never occurred to me before, but makes perfect sense!)
