I’m not gonna make the deadline, sadly... The model’s been half-painted now but other stuff has come up for the past few days (and I of course left it to finish in the last few days, as is tradition).
Competition Yakcomp 37: "You just can't get the staff these days"
- Thread starter CaptainDangerous
- Start date
My entry for Comp 37:
Ashmore Dunn, Grox Rancher from the Slagholme area, and his ranch-hands Rhodes and Grindel, herding a small group of (pygmy) Groxen to market:
I think this little herd would make a great variation of the caravan scenario - Attacking gang of Grox Rustlers ambushing the Herd - and the gang hired to escort them across the board. Of course, the ornery groxen add a bit of fun to things as they are just as dangerous to the defenders as the attackers!

Who's cooking?
Glutton Ramsay lived by WWMD! Of course he couldn't spell it, but he knew what it meant: What Would Marco Do? Marco of course being Marco Peehair Shite of Gourmet Ghoul fame. Glutton had learned everything he knew about cooking from thinking reeeally hard about what Marco P. S. might once have done, had he had the same ingredients. And implements. And condiments. All big words, that meant something. Probably.
My entry, time for bed.

Here is Jim, a legend among bullet merchants in district 19 of the Iron Pit City. Never the best, seldom the cheapest but always well stocked on ammo.
I should have added a few more colours, but I realise that I won't make it happen before the deadline, so this is as good as it is going to get!

Too late for consideration, but I did manage to finish my entry today, so I wanted to show ot here nonetheless...
“Buy your bullets from Aldo Kugelmann, of Aldo’s Ammunition and Assorted Armaments! Mot satisfied? Get yer creds back! Price list is on my back! None cheaper, best quality in the Hive!”
I’ll vote later today!

Damn, not an easy vote this time, too much good stuff. #uphiveproblems
So many great entries!
Definitely going to pick up a set of those Blood bowl imperial nobles (once they're release as a stand-alone box(?)) to riff-off of the ammo merchant conversions you guys did - LOVE them!

Excellent conversion. That's a confident bullet merchant that lets folks behind him to read his prices. I thought when I scrolled down the photo showing his back that there'd either be a menu on his butt or maybe just a sign saying "Pay up or Pucker up!" Aldo appears to be both nicer and more confident that your average bullet butler.

Great timing. The miniature I originally intended to use for the patrol vehicle arrived just yesterday. (The local post office lady was all happy just as I was, because I went there asking every other-or-so day if there is a package from the UK for me.)
Instead of the currently-used Servalen detective lady from Forge World, she was supposed to be only a pilot. Our group plans to use vehicle rules for our campaign, and every vehicle needs a crew.

Wow, what a surprise! I don't know what to say, except thank you for the votes, gentleyaks. With so many stunning entries I did not expect to win. It just made my day, my whole week even. 
Congrats to @Casus, @SirFrog and @Sump Duck! It was a close run.
