This is the only one I can't readily come up with something for. I'll give it some thought and see whether it revitalises my hobby mojo. We're heading into a busy time at work though, which could go either way (i.e. I might be too busy or I might need some hobby escape).
 
If I only I didn’t already have multiple Yeld models…
Can you ever really have enough Spyrers? :D

I’ll have to think about my entry, but in the meantime here are some I prepared earlier :D

I'm in, for my first YakComp. I was wondering what to do with my leftover Arms Master from my second box, so this works out pretty well. Orlock Wrecker promoted to an Arms Master, with his upgraded jump booster and a new arc hammer/plasma pistol. Or just a Road Captain leader of a Wrecker crew, with a grapple/drop rig counts-as and a t-hammer/plasma pistol. Really, just an Orlock who found a SM jumppack and bashed it together to make it work.

That's a beast of an Orlock there. Makes me hope there's a house rule covering in-game damage to his jump booster where only one side fires and he arcs off in a random direction and distance "I'm a going to cruuush youuuuuuuuuuuu..."
 
Hmm, I wonder if it would be possible to kitbash something approximating the illustration of Freikstorn Strix? That is one cool looking flying dude.

Freikstorn Strix is a Necromundan Bounty Hunter who is an exile of House Van Saar, where he was once a Clan Archetek.”

Been digging through bits boxes and pulling out random wings, skitarii bits and other gubbins. I don’t have any Van Saar though, so I guess it is up to you to make Freikstorn Strix :D

I’m pretty sure I don’t either but it looks like a rich source of kitbashing bits so I’m tempted to grab some and see what can be done!
I've made a Spyrer team mostly from the Van Saar box and some extra bits. Pretty good kit.
Headswap adequately successful, now I need to figure out some wings. I'll probably do something with the bit in the photo, which was leftover from a set of wings I put on another Yeld.
Wing-building will probably go in the plog.
