Competition YakComp 42 "Mind is quicker than the eye"

[Ben_S]

The real challenge here is waiting almost 4 weeks until the advertised start date...

(If we have the poll soon, I expect people will be demanding to start before 1st May.)

You could always just hedge your bets and start one for them all. Just don’t post your entry 4 minutes after the start, people will be suspicious. Except if it’s @Stoof ,he’s the kind of guy that’ll assemble & paint 2 bolt action armies in the time it takes us mere mortals to paint one small fire team.

Hmmm can the Troll use sponges?

Edit: in fact there’s an idea, make and paint something but you can’t use paintbrushes

Don't tempt me, I've already got multiple ideas that would be schweet and I REALLY need to finish the models for the gangs that my girlfriend and son want to play plus a few scenic bits that have piqued my interest. One day I'll start a thread of my own so I can share.

Definitely start a thread with your creations

 

[Punktaku]

Start it! Start it!

 

[Biggle_Bear]

Finally got my entry finished.

View media item 73075
View media item 73074I call it "biggle broke a deal then spun the wheel"

 

[Biggle_Bear]

Ah, no, I pressed send!

Lol. Had mixxed wayyyyy to much putty last night. It meets two of the comp entries, right.

 

[Pierric]

The cold cases.

Make your own version of a never released character that was at least mentioned once in a rulebook.

 

[Biggle_Bear]

If I understand correctly, we are only waiting on @trollmeat to make a theme proposal, right?

 

[Ben_S]

I think it depends whether this counts as trollmeat's suggestion (or perhaps passing):

I’d be happy with any theme, but just remember that Ash Wastes is coming

Edit: though my recent experimentation with Wyrdstone and Farmyard animals makes me want to suggest using non-wargaming miniatures for Necro/Mordheimunda

 

[trollmeat]

Oh, I misread and assumed I was being tagged because of my comments at the end of comp41, thought the suggestions were open to anyone… and as I said, happy with whatever

Guess I might as well suggest making an Ash Wastes vehicle/mount/terrain piece/or similar for fantasy and other games. While we don’t know exactly how they will function yet we do have the images of the Ash Wastes Nomad giant fleas, and the Orlock Quads.

 

[trollmeat]

Though I just realised, next comp will be 42, so it might want to have something to do with life, the universe and everything

Oooh, yeah that would be a shame to miss out on...

 

[Ben_S]

Maybe extra bonus Yakpoints?

 

[drdrybrush]

I may have totally missed it, what's the theme?

 

[trollmeat]

This thread is discussion on what the theme should be, and maybe a vote.

 

[Biggle_Bear]

We're just waiting for @CaptainDangerous To see the last suggestion and put the poll up. I hope he comes online and does it soon or he might leave it too late and give himself more stress to do it before 1st May.

 

[Ben_S]

I don't see any rush at this point, given that the Comp isn't supposed to start until May. Even if the poll doesn't go up for another week (i.e. starts on the 19th) we could still allow another week for voting (i.e. until the 26th). We're hardly running out of time. I'd rather wait now than have the theme set early but not be allowed to start work.

 

[Punktaku]

Whatever the theme is, I’d like to second @trollmeat ’s suggestion about special bonus YakPoints.
