Competition YakTribe Competition 9 "Triple Age of Trouble"

[djmothra]

Welcome to the 9th Yaktribe Competition - the 8th was won by @ClockworkOrange ( and a Plasma Ball ) with the "Imperium is a Lie"

This time the competition is a little different, as you can see below - due to @ClockworkOrange getting a third win, we have decided to include a '3' here too.

<TITLE PICTURE HERE, WHEN I GET TIME TO DO IT )

We would like you to make 3 of something - the very same item through 3 different ages.

Example (for a Necromunda House Gang)

Model 1 would be a juve - armed with a pistol and bad acne.
Model 2 would be the very same gang member as before, but (recently) promoted into a ganger - showing a better load of equipment.
Model 3 would be the same as previous, but now as a gang champion (or perhaps even the leader by this time!) at end of his Gang fighting days and is on to retirement or even bigger things. He/she will be the baddest Gang member the house has ever seen. They will probably have loads of fancy kit (Think OIAM Golden MeltaGuns etc ) and possibly a lot of scars.

So, we're looking for 3 models, one is minimum xp, one is at promotion XP (or thereabouts) and the last one max xp - of the same gang / warband member. (For Mordheim - the promoted bit can easily be dealt with "That Lads Got Talent" )

That's not all, we're opening this up for Scenery / Terrain too - same criteria as before - 3 items, showing the same thing - one brand new, one used and the last (possibly) ruined.

Vehicles too if you like! - see above

Normal Competition Rules apply - with one exception, we're going to give you 6 weeks to do this one (instead of the normal 4)

Closing Date Saturday 19th September.

No Minimum or Maximum restrictions on size (for scenery/terrain)

Please reply below with your intention to enter - like usual Any questions? Again, below please

Good Luck and May the Yaks be with you.

3rd place @GrimDork - 13 votes

2nd place @KungFuPanda - 15 votes.

1st place @Flobojoe - 18 votes, I can see you will be trouble in the future when I attempt my 4th crown!

Congrats all I'm sure @djmothra will update the thred properly when he gets back but to quote Brucey (which will only mean something to UK yakkers) you were all my favourites!

@djmothra and @Malo will be in touch with the winner to discus the theme of the next comp. (No pressure but make it scenary!)

Well done again! Clockwork

[trollmeat]

At the end of the last competition, where @Blood Donor put forward the suggestion for doing 3 something, I said if that was the critera I'd prolly go with a Beastmaster and 3 Pets, but they don't gain XP or change over time, so I'll have to do something else... Such as, maybe, doing a Teeny Mushroom, a Mushroom Brute, and a Spore Mother.

The Spore Mother is something I have previously attempted, would having a 2nd go at it be okay for this? I have a week before I'm back at my minis so it is possible that I might come up with something else anyway, but I always wanted to try doing her again.

 

[ClockworkOrange]

@capitan - still up for the joint entry?

 

[Brummie]

Might see If I can jump in with this one

 

[Loriel]

how about birth from hive mother as the first model? (I am sick individual I know )
really interesting!

 

[djmothra]

@trollmeat remember the criteria says that it is the same member of the gang / warband modelled at 3 different time periods - you could do something like 3 ages of a new spore mother - one as an infant, one where they are just heading out on their own to start a new colony and the final one where they are the near the end of their time making new infants - and so the cycle repeats

A good analogy is: you make Bob the Juve, then Bob the Ganger, then Bob the Gang Champion.

I'm aware that the original Spore mother didn't work out for the TG comp - so, so long as this is a brand new attempt, then go for it - be nice seeing something a little unusual!

 

[trollmeat]

That'd be their life-cycle, if one of them lives long enough they could potentially become a Spore Mother.

I have a week or so before I could even start, so can explore other options on paper, such as my version of a Hive Mother (or any of the other dozens of projects I have bouncing around in my skull)

 

[jonbo]

Really interesting concept. I need to have a long hard think about what would fit in

 

[Azzabat]

I've got some shiny TGG Jailbirds that need painting up and would fit well with this category, but what I really want to do is some sort of scratch built vehicle(s) or Robot(s). Straight off the Factory floor, Battle Tested, and then Decommissioned. Not sure if 6 weeks is enough though. I've got a Buddy's 40th birthday to organise, and then decorate my local pub for halloween. [Sad Face]

 

[Blood Donor]

I... might enter this. I have a suitable entry, but I don't know if I can justify stopping my terrain-train given its priority status.

 

[djmothra]

Straight off the Factory floor, Battle Tested, and then Decommissioned.

Perfect, lets hope you can find time
(I still don;t have my TGGs yet )

 

[Azzabat]

(I still don;t have my TGGs yet )

That sucks waiting for stuff other people already have.

I'm still waiting for my Exploding Kittens that my buddy received a week ago.

He lives 300 yards from me!

 

[Silk]

Let's see, four Ork trukks to paint and a fifth halfway built, two Ork buggies to paint and another build just started, five wasteland raider cars to finish building, two Ork battlewagons partially built and a third being de-looted back into an IG vehicle... Oh, and an Arbites riot vehicle being kitbashed from a Taurox and a Valkyrie. So what's one more project? I'm in.

[Spamuel]

You had better believe that I'm in for this one.

Can't wait to get to the drawing board!

 

[Spamuel]

So, question.

Could I go from one status to another? Still following the three stages, but also a change in social standing?

An example of this progression could be Juve, Pit Slave, Pit Slave Champion. Or Juve, Outlaw Ganger, Outlaw Gang Champion.

 

[djmothra]

@Sammun yes, sounds perfect

 

[Loriel]

@magister competere is it allowed to do for example a building, then take pictures of it, and then broke it down little a do picture and finally break it down complete and take picture? or is it supposed to be so that all of the three entries are really three different objects?

 

[spafe]

I have some tentative bids/watches on ebay now for suitable entries... what happens will be up in the air until then
