The Captains toil for House Amazon keeps him very distant from his tribe duties, but the show must go on!

STOOFILICOIUS EDITIFICATION:

And Lo! The topic was choosethed!

“Sid.”
Make something from toys that aren't meant as gaming models. Can be terrain, minis, whatever you like as long as its at least 50% toys.

Expanded description:

Make something usable in a game or a diorama or something. A miniature (or more than one), a terrain piece (or more than one)... anything tabletop gaming / model making hobby related... but it must use at least 50% (by volume) toys aimed at kids or teenagers (no adult toys) that aren't meant for tabletop gaming or model making.

Ideas:
Gaslands cars
A refinery terrain piece made from an X-box and a nerf gun.
An underhive Krusty Krab shop.
Mutant farm animals
An Arsebear and friends.

Competition starts... ... ... ...NOW!

Standard rules are here. They apply as usual except where they don't.

Comp ends on the 19th December 8th January 2022* at **THE ASTRA TELEPATHICA OFFERS ITS APOLOGIES FOR WARP STORM INTERFERENCE** O'clock, British Captain's Time. What with the clicking and the voting and what have you, we could well have a Christmas day winner!

I would propose the following suggestion :

Deviant Scum
Create a model of one of the misguided, crazed or heretical madmen that dwell in the Underhive.
(Brood brother, scavvy, mutant, cultist, beastman, genestealer, renegade space marine, Dark Gods Deamons).

For what it's worth,

"WHERE IS IT!?"
A model or two in a small scene , perhaps a debt collectors, maybe an enforcer breaking heads in a drinking hole, maybe a hapless escher who has lost her keys to her cutter, could be a cyber mastiff and it's orlok owner in a rare moment of happiness in the underhive, basically go off on one with the headline...frakk it, how about a rogue doc who's lost his watch in a patient or a corpse grinder tormenting a dismembered victim

 

[Hawkins44]

Tech priests, and you - Build and paint a person operating, or trying to (no matter how successfully) an arcane, or unusual piece of technology.

Hold on! @drdrybrush you weren't called on to make a suggestion! wander on over to the brainstorming thread.

I hope someone copies it though. I already started thinking of ideas for it, as well as the other ideas.

Wasn't aware there was one I shall shuffle off stethoscope in hand and speak no more

 

[Biggle_Bear]

Here is the link in case anyone wants it

 

[Spenetrator]

Guess maybe you better swear me in

A small group of deputised underhive lawmen, or a posse of vigilantes out for revenge for the predations of the local house gangs.

 

[Tiny]

How is it that every comp I make a theme suggestion and then prefer everyone else’s and don’t vote for my own?

 

[Mad Robot]

"Heads Up..."

Add a human head to something not human and make it work

 

[Tiny]

Vote when?

 

[Stoof]

I'll sort the poll out this evening.

 

[CaptainDangerous]

I would say that I feel like clockwork, that if you leave something long enough then it does itself….

BUT IT HASNT EVEN BEEN A WEEK YET!

You should all say three hail yaks to the impetuous @Stoof

 

[ClockworkOrange]

Oi that’s a valid management strategy
