Competition Yakcomp 39: "Secret Society”

[CaptainDangerous]

Yakcomp 38: "Secret Society”

Across the Imperium, the most holy god emperor of man is worshiped for the most holy god emperor that he is! ...but in the underhive... some say he has four arms and purple skin, some say he collects skulls and has a nice chair, and the most depraved believe he has beady black eyes and a plume of bright orange hair!?!

You have six weeks to make and paint a citizen of the underhive, be it a ganger or a civilian, but they must show signs of some sort of belief in something! (It doesn’t necisarily have to be a god)

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 how successfully their entry hides their beliefs.
Even more Bonus yak points** for including a ‘place of worship’

The deadline for this comp will be midnight BST on Sunday the 26th of September 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 (Usually) have the ultimate power of selecting the theme for the next YakComp!
This time however, you will have to be happy with the bragging rights, and who knows, I might make an imaginary hat for ya!?

Good Luck Tribesmen!

*bonus yak points are worth 0

** extra bonus yak points are worth double bonus yak points!

MedMos' WIP - the slowjuicer of Plogs

Thanks a lot, @Edster! I actually wasn't sure how to join the beams to the central pillar, until I thought "why not do it right?" My dad and little brother are both carpenters, so I've seen a few things of this sort. It isn't fitted perfectly, but it holds just fine, and is still a ruin, so...

I, Hawkins44 enter the competition *blah blah blah* with the entry "From the depts of hell (that is the battlefield of the 41st Millenium)"

Yeah I use a drawing pin / thumb tack to make a pilot hole first :)

I decided seven was a larger batch than I want to paint at once, especially while still sorting out colour schemes, so I'm focusing for now on three with the same body and have started blocking in colours: A mid-blue for the main garment, with a blighter blue on the tabard (?) thing and a...

N18 - Julez's Necromunda kitbash extravaganza

Finished my Necromunda scavvy/mutant gang. Kitbashed from multiple different unit sprues with a bit of greenstuff and guitar string added! I tried to paint them in the style of the 90’s necromunda/scavvy gangs. Here’s how they turned out!

[Ben_S]

A shame I already have some Cawdor in progress, or they might have suited, but I was planning to make more anyway so I guess I'm in. Probably with some more of those, unless I have any better idea.

 

[Sethmerlin666]

It's been a few years. Time to get my comp hat back on!

 

[MedMos]

Ok, let's get "the question" out of the way... Does it have to be the Underhive?

Assuming that not to be the case, I'm in! Will attempt a Frostgrave cultist of sorts, with a ruined building where he worships for those bonus yak points. Progress to start from here.

 

[CaptainDangerous]

Ok, let's get "the question" out of the way... as long as it fits the theme, any setting is allowed!

bonus Captain points to anyone who tries to tackle this… (don’t bother watching the remastered version *spits*)

 

[Casus]

Going to give this one a go - Progress will be posted here. I have ambitious plans! Probably too ambitious, but we will see!

 

[Stoof]

I am definitely not interrupting this thread to remind our esteemed Yakkers about TribeMeet UK 2020/21! Event details here!

There are still a few tickets available due to some Yakkers being unable to attend the new date. Please enquire here if you are interested.

Who doesn't love a nice bit of fluff & lore? Event buildup & story thread here. Fun for all the family, even if you can't attend!

This post has been a figment of your imagination, please proceed with your day.

 

[Biggle_Bear]

Is it suitable to brainstorm here on the thread to get feedback? I got a couple of ideas but I don't know which gets the inspiration going.

I've often found I got an idea for a comp from hearing about others' musings. So even though I'm already working on something, I vote "fire away!"

 

[CaptainDangerous]

I second ‘fire away!’

What you got?

 

[Punktaku]

I’ve got nothing, so I agree on the “Fire Away!”

 

[Grognard Gluefingers]

My place of worship is almost done already, but I will start a worshiper from scratch.

 

[Biggle_Bear]

Thanks guys. So three ideas so far.

1. A dwarf/squat wedding (would be a sculpting project, paying attention to little details)
2. Biggle Bear teaching others about the fictional nature of their own existence (the character Biggle being self aware. I imagine a matrix parody)
3. An underhive or guardsman burning incense over their gun in an act of superstition (the easiest of the ideas)

 

[CaptainDangerous]

Gonna need a link to a WIP thread @Grognard Gluefingers (and @Sethmerlin666)

 

[Hawkins44]

Darn, too bad I have the 'not repentia' from wargame exclusive already painted. She'd be a superb entry.
I'll have to think of something else.

 

[Biggle_Bear]

Squat?

• Biggle_Bear
• Aug 19, 2021

If I just shorten a guys legs does it look like a squat, or not?

I quickly added some short legs to a dude. How does it work as an interpretation of a squat?

 

[Grognard Gluefingers]

You reset the Squat Wedding clock.

That means tbe bride has cold, hairy feet.

 

[MedMos]

@Biggle_Bear, I have to say I'm in favor of option 3, the simple image that tells a whole story about the guardsman. It would be immediately recognizable and fits perfectly within the theme of the comp.
