One Shot, One Kill
Suggested by @rustedchrome
Build a sniper, or sniper equivalent, for your chosen setting.
You have just over six weeks, competition closes midnight 23rd July 2023 (actually 6am ish UK time Monday the 24th, as per my usual close-it-when-I-get-up method).

Huh. The votes are the complete opposite to what I was excited about.
Anyway, I will be entering with a sniper made from a Scabs (as in Kal Jericho and Scabs) mini. Just need to come up with some lore to inspire how to make him exactly. And maybe compete to have the first finished entry.

No time like the present!
What appears to be an excessively tooled-up giant slug has entered the scene...
It's the underpinnings of a fun little idea for a Necromunda ghillie suit.

I'm already behind for first entry, I see.No time like the present!

Well, my entry will be call Arksus "the Junk Punk". A dome runner who got captured by an archeotech AI, and has been put through endless computer simulations to be the ultimate protector.
He will be clothed in rags but equipped with high tech gadgetry, and be unable to separate reality from simulation.
I'm sure I'll come up with something here. I'm in!
It took all of 2 hours but I cracked and got some neat files to build some Militia from Reptilian Overlords. I'm sure there's something in the set I can use for the comp... 
A blunderbuss counts as a sniper's weapon right?

I'm in. I'm thinking either a mercenary with Hochland hunting rifle or a witch hunter with a big ol' crossbow. Either way we're in Mordheim. I'll post a link once I start piecing something together, but I have a secret project to deal with first...
I’m in. But then again, I’m always in and finish much much later. Already ordered a couple bits from @Mad Robot that might help out.
I think the rule of thumb is that if you are making something new then fair game (maybe make the dismantling process part of the WIP). If all you did was remove a shotgun and glued a sniper rifle in its place, then you probably will get 0 votes for the bad faith.
Damn it, first comp it in ages where I have something in the line that I could bump to the front and it starts when I'm too busy roofing Good luck to the rest of you.
Good luck to the rest of you.
Nothing like that. I have few bodies to work with, and was considering taking an old “finished” mini and reworking it. But then again, do I really want to un-finish an already finished gang? I’ll have WIPs in my Comp thread.
Edit: ehn, I’m already used to getting 0 votes. Still going to start anew anyway.
I think so long as your change is significant enough, you can use an old model as the base.
My burger rhino from last comp was an already finished & painted rhino when I started cutting it up for the burger joint. I acquired it specifically for the competition, but had it been in my collection before that I still would have used it, because I think the changes I made to it were considerable.
It's all in the perception of whether you believe a finished model can become bitz again, or if a finished model can never be bitz again. I believe a finished model can very much become bitz again, because I've done it a lot.
TLDR: Just a weapon swap on a prepainted model? Nah. Stripping/dismantling and converting and old model? - sure.
