Competition Yakcomp 38: "It Belongs in a Museum!”

[CaptainDangerous]

Yakcomp 38: "It Belongs in a Museum!”

On any world, at any time, some objects hold more power -either percieved or actual- than others. And people covet them for any number of reasons.

You must portray one of these objects, and preferably someone interacting with it, be it directly or not. Is it a Cawdor Champion kneeling at their gang relic? A Ratskin Shaman defending an impromptu archaeotech shrine? A Digganob lifting Ork-tech from the sand? Or a group of Cultists about to open the Ark of th... Wait, different mythology. You get the idea.

Are you possessor or possessed? Defender or defiler?
Either way, it belongs in a museum!

Yaks have 6 weeks to create, make and paint their entry, which must use at least 3 colours and be suitably based.

Bonus yak points* will be awarded for a description of your coveted desirable artefact.
Even more Bonus yak points** for including a mini, or group, of explorers making their discovery.

The deadline for this comp will be midnight BST on Saturday the 29th of May 2021.
Any yak wishing to enter merely has to state their interest in joining in and provide a link to their work in progress thread!

PRIZE:
The Yak with the most votes will become the new YakComp Champion, Win $15 store credit from the ever generous @Mad Robot! They will also win a rather striking 1st place red banner, AND will have the ultimate power of selecting the theme for the next YakComp!

Good Luck Tribesmen!

*bonus yak points are worth 0
votes.
** extra bonus yak points are worth double bonus yak points!

[Ben_S]

Ok, I'm in. Not that I plan anything particularly ambitious, but a few things I'm planning to make anyway may fit the brief here, so I may as well.

Progress will be in my plog (in signature) once started.

 

[ClockworkOrange]

I’m in - I’m going to enter something already started, mainly because it fits the brief so well but also because it will motivate me to finish it.

So as is tradition I need my fellow Yaks to tell me my penance? 5 hours downing tools should be fairly easy at the mo....

5 hours downing tools should be fairly easy at the mo....

Indeed, even trolls need to sleep (I assume), so this seems too easy.

Thankfully, I believe a precedent has already been set previously:

Soo whilst hopping on one leg wearing a cowboy hat repeat "I shall not cheat my myself or my fellow yakkers, or may the all mighty creator @Malo banish me from this forum" for 30 minutes whilst looking at your partially completed comp entry in penance.

So, we expect to see something like this... (I suppose your troll crown will do, if you don't have a cowboy hat.)

The 5 hours you suggest may seem a long time on one leg, but staff need to set an example...

 

[CaptainDangerous]

HO HO!!!
The troll has been out trolled!! By his very own words no less!
This is hilarious!

@Loriel
you may want to see this!?

 

[Punktaku]

Something like this Ratskin Totem I made back during the ORB days? Does this mean I wins already?!?

 

[ClockworkOrange]

Pah.

The Troll expected this kind of “humour” and accepts the challenge as laid down by a certain much younger but equally handsome orange Yak! A photo “Proof” shall be submitted with my entry.

 

[Loriel]

<This is joke just in case>
I urge you to reconsider, you may not have what it takes to withstand the horrors of Yaktribe penance. Lately I have managed to get couple good days going on, but I am still haunted by the pink cowboy (or cowgirl?) hat!!!

for the younger yakkers you may witness my penance from ancient times https://yaktribe.games/community/threads/loriels-terrain-model-blog.1691/page-21#post-81967
</This is joke just in case>

Hahahah!

As a self appointed Yaktribe Elder my judgement for ClockworkOrange is that in his Penance he must be upside down like a filthy bat! This is naturally addition for any other Yaktribean Judgement!

or my Goliath Terrain/Relic - Pillar of Chains?

 

[Punktaku]

Decision paralysis... I have too many gangs to chose who to make this for... and what form should it take?!?

 

[MedMos]

You could make a non-affiliated powerful artefact that all the gangs would fight and die for? Could even be a way to make an objective marker for "The Hoard" scenario?

Edit: Ooh, just spitballing here, but we've all seen Astartes, right? Could make a ball of whatever is in that, suspended between pillars on chains or energy beams. Maybe slightly smaller than the one in Astartes... Maybe not!

 

[Hawkins44]

I MIGHT have a miniature left in my bits box, that MIGHT works like charm for this exact purpose.

Is it old? Yes.
Does it look old? Yes.
Is it actually old? Yes.

//I was wrong. While it might look good, it won't be very fitting into the setting of the Underhive.

 

[Crazy Ivan]

My Enforcer relic would've fit the bill but as it's done it obviously isn't allowed under the rules...

Proctor R-974 “Crook”, Gang Relic

The preserved head of Proctor “Crook” is said to still dole...

I'm going to have a think; if I can come up with something, I'll join the comp!

Seen Astartes? Is there a film?

[MedMos]

Thanks, @Malevolent Pink Cat! Enjoy, @Punktaku!

 

[SuboptimusPrime]

I'm going to have a think; if I can come up with something, I'll join the comp!

I second the statement from my continental comrade here, this time I'll only join if I have an idea I can actually build.

 

[Hawkins44]

I also have built something similar in the past... I have an idea of what to build, and I can build it, but it won't be much different from what I have already done.

This is a very unfortunate selection of a theme for many of us, I see.

 

[Ben_S]

This is a very unfortunate selection of a theme for many of us, I see.

It seems to be one where many people already have something, but that's often the case, particularly if the theme fits something actually useful. I think I prefer that to themes that require something so unique that one will never have any use for it after the competition.

Also, those who already have a Necromunda-suitable relic (and who don't want to build another) could still build something for another system, if they play one.
