Stealing an idea I just saw in the Original Necromunda group on FB...

90s style...

Something identifiably harking back to the 1990s. This doesn't simply mean bright colours and Goblin Green bases (though that might be a bonus), but a model incorporating one or more 90s references, such as a Windows 95 computer or Britpop, etc.

Just for some inspirations.

I think it could be opened up to post-war 20th Century style.

Just imagine a 70s style Goliath with Afro hair and a medallion…

An Escher in swinging 60s style… etc.

Inspired by @SuboptimusPrime moving house:

The No-kit Kitbash

Build a model for your game of choice using no parts from a model kit.

So cocktail sticks, cardboard, plasticard, greensuff/putty, bits of toys - all good (bits of sprue also OK as they are not *parts*).
No parts of a kit which had numbers/specified in instructions, were specifically printed as model parts, or have been cast from model parts.

Terrain is the obvious choice for this, but it'd be good to see what people can pull off with just junk & putty.

Some fairly poor examples from my youth (although the Bottlehawk is disqualified for using the rear top doors of an old Rhino/Chimera):

It's nice to see my suffering made into art.

Little Shop of the Body Snatching Killer Tomato Triffids!!

Make some alien plant life, make it weird! Make it stalk unsuspecting passers by!
The Underhive needs to stock its hydroponic domes, the tunnels need mold with personality (and eyeballs) and the Ash Wastes needs sentient bushes! Etc.

Then give it some basic rule ideas (can move, catch people with its tendrils, fire spores, Sings terrible songs that drive you to despair, etc) - you don’t have to come up with statlines or the like, just simple examples like I bracketed.

Best entry becomes a scenario feature in a future TribeMeet campaign. (Wasn’t expecting that last bit eh?) The basic rule ideas can then be… err… ruleified.
