Yaktribe Combat Cards!

[CaptainDangerous]

Remember these?:

I always knew the symbols at the bottom were part of something I didn’t know about, but now I do!:

Spoiler: ATTACK!

And so, my fine yak friends, is that I think it would be fun to make cards for ourselves, with the aim of getting enough to make a deck!?!

I heartily encourage each and every yak to join in, even if this doesn’t become reality, it can still be fun!
“FOR THE TRIBE, FOR THE LOLS!”

Here’s a template for you to copy/paste/fill out, I’ll explain details afterward and provide an example (my card)

Notes:
-Your name will always be your yak name.
-Stats must be rolled for. Roll 2d6 six times, mark them down, then allocate the results where you think most appropriate. Alternatively, go total random and fill them in as you roll!
-honoured tribesmen +1 to all stats, tribe council +2 to all stats, enforcers +3 to all stats! (…What??)
-Allignment can be either good, evil, or neutral
-you may pick upto 3 skills, but they must make sense in regards to your picture.
-pistols don’t qualify for ranged, and only heavy weapons can take area effect.

Example: Me :

I do remember those - I still have my tatty 40k set hidden away. (I think they reissued a few sets several years ago - or updated them)

I also remember the symbols were for some kind of chess game but never played it - now I glance at the rules you spoilered and I can see where that idea came from.

Those cards stands - one was on the 40k 2nd box and held up the cardboard Ork Dreadnaught.

You can still get them and similar from Em4 Miniatures.

Right, enough of the nostalgia! I think this is a fun idea Captain!

Are we to choose a painted miniature from our own collections for the card?

 

[CaptainDangerous]

Yeah, ideally one of your favourite minis from your own collection, but it does have to be a single figure mini, which is the only real stipulation

 

[Stoof]

I'm going to end up gender swapped because it *has* to be Moira really.

Can a ripper gun be area effect? It's a colossal belt fed shotgun after all.

Fearsome Monster, Ranged Weapon, Area Affect if allowed.

I'll do some rolling soon.

 

[CaptainDangerous]

All sounds great! I never thought of you as a sexy ogre, but I’m starting to see how a yak might!?
the only thing I’d add, is that the blast skill kinda includes the ranged skill, so you could choose another if you like?

 

[Biggle_Bear]

How concerned are we about integrity regarding the miniatures / photos and skills? Could I use an AI photo and say that he has the Magic Armour skill because he is a hero and has “plot armour”?

An AI generated picture of the character I came up with some time ago, Biggle Bear, but as a...

Otherwise, I’m all set.

 

[CaptainDangerous]

I’d much prefer an actual miniature if you can?
I mean it’s kinda what we’re about really?

(You could have just said it was a mini, nobody would have questioned it )

So the mini should represent “us” for Yaktribe? Hmmm…. I have a couple of the Almighty Tallest, but that’s not right.

 

[MusingWarboss]

Could I use an AI photo

You could convert it to an stl and get it 3D printed - there are app parent tools out there now that can do that.

Then paint it.

There must been loads of Invader Zim figures you could paint yourself…

[CaptainDangerous]

Do those scores include your +1s for being an honoured tribesman?

 

[Punktaku]

Unfortunately, yes. The magic armor I figure is his blindsnake pouch combined with his uncanny ability to survive the hazards of the Underhive. Hive spirits protect me!
