Yakday 2020! (Worldwide Painting Event)

[CaptainDangerous]

GREETINGS YAKS!
im going to keep this one simple....

12th April 2020
Yaktribe is turning TEN years old and, as a Tribe, we should all celebrate!

Starting from when the Sun rises in the East and until it Sets in the West, I would like each and every yak to post something here, in this thread, as a gesture of good will amongst yaks and to show your appreciation for all things Yaktribe!
Whether it is undercoating a single mini, or organising a 24hr paintathon, get those brushes out and prove how Yak you really are!

For the Yak!
For MALO!!
FOR THE TRIBE!!!

(Thread closed until the very first minute of 12/4/2020, or 4/12/2020 for you wyrd yaks! Until then, enjoy a picture of a very handsome yak hard at work! See you back here on the 12th of April, your time!) *yak salute*

p.s. Put a link to this thread in your signature and try to get as many yaks to paint as you can!

I’m quietly confident that it is Sunday somewhere in the world right now...

HAPPY 10th BIRTHDAY YAKTRIBE!!!
AND HAPPY YAKDAY TO YOU ALL!

 

[Pierric]

Hello Captain and all Yak members.

Happy birthday to this great community.

I've not been a member for very long, anyway I will gladly try to contribute to this event. Since there was no talk about a N17 or N18 ten years ago, my choice went to a classic mini.

And quite an iconic one :

Mad Donna Ulanti (unbuilt)

So, let's mount and paint this psycho b*tch !

 

[ClockworkOrange]

Efforts are currently being made to live stream from the Trolls den, it’s still Saturday here but I’m planning an all nighter through to early Sunday morning.....

 

[MedMos]

I want to maybe get a little further with the yakcomp in progress, so here is Hobb and Nobb in their un-natural environment, having just been primed in my garden.

Yaks is this working?

 

[Mutant Modifier]

It's working!

Happy birthday YakTribe!!!!!

Must.. try.. understand... time...

Now converting some Shadow Warriors for tonight, gonna paint 'em with a duo of Battle Mages!

 

[CaptainDangerous]

There’s no sound ....but that’s probably for the best!

 

[ClockworkOrange]

There’s no sound ....but that’s probably for the best!

I'm messing around with all the settings - It'll have music once I've figured it out + I've stolen your banner. This OBS software is really good

 

[CaptainDangerous]

I just watched you type that!
this is freaky....but I like it a lot!

(Im going to sign up to twitch so I can insult you in real time arnt I!?)

Troll TV (24hr livestream)

 

[hottyhothot]

Very cool! Happy 10th bday too!

 

[Ben_S]

Happy Yakday everyone!

I'm currently in a building rather than painting phase, though perhaps I'll get as far as some primer within 48 hours. Anyway, here's what I have to show at the moment:

2017.. 5 long term friends hear about the re release of Necromunda. They eagerly buy some old school pewter off ebay to strip, buy some paints, and realise they have no board to play on.. Upon hearing the new release wont support outlander gangs, one of them finds the yak tribe and opens our eyes to the NCE rulebook.. We still havent fully started the new rules yet.. Happy Yak anniversary and thank you all.

 

[CaptainDangerous]

Here’s my Yakday projects, I’m going full frontal fantasy!...

My Mordheim Warband for Tribemeet Northampton (Frostheim)

They will be a Middenheimer warband, and their leader is a deranged former paladin of the white wolf!
(they will also double up as a Frostgrave warband if needs be, with the beardy one to the left of Paladin dangerous serving as an apprentice/loyal squire)
note: paladin dangerous will have a hammer head on his stick by the end of the day.

Some Skeletons for the Madman to Smite...

and some bonus Celtic warriors to stick together if I am good for time

 

[CaptainDangerous]

Iv just edited the poll to make it a little clearer!
I Thought the doom reference would be enough! (Nobody plays on ‘im too young to die!’)

 

[Ardavion]

My challenge/goal for Yak Day:

My Boat Pre-Yak Day 2020

• Ardavion
• Apr 11, 2020
• nce necromunda yakday

My boat needs some extra bits sticking to it, then base spraying with black and Leadbelcher, then a wash of Nuln Oil, then some bits need picking out with other colours.

The monster on deck is pretty much as I want it model wise, no greenstuff or anything, just need it to have a suitable colour scheme.

If I'm lucky, those Skaven just creeping out of shot might get a look in as well.
