I am the Programs Coordinator for the Artisan's Asylum, a 40,000 square foot maker space here in the Boston area.
I'm paid to support people making cool stuff. (And to make cool stuff!)

Best overall has been determined, I just sent out the final round of judging to my expert judges.
Sorry for the delay, life's overpowered hobby for a bit. Very hectic.
Haven't even been able to do much work on my T-Hawk.

The 'newbie project' started as a 'easiest to duplicate', but evolved into more of a nuanced decision. Dr H's work is clearly a step beyond 'newbie' per-se, but the good doctor laid out instructions on how to make the wooden planks from sprue, and everything is readily available to any newbie, as it consisted of a CD, cardstock, sprue, and basing materials. It is a great project for a newbie to tackle, to easily raise their modeling skills!
I am very much looking forward to compiling this into an article for Dakka. If anyone wants their entry to be excluded from the article, please let me know.
I will be contacting the winners via PM, as soon as I make up the bitz bag of love.
Thanks for all your amazing entries, and thanks to my judges Gitsplitta, Dsteingass, and Inmygravenimage!

Congratulations to the other winners and well done to all involved as together we produced a games-table filling quantity of quality terrain, from little more than recycled materials.
Thanks to Brian for a good competition that led to a very interesting, challenging, and enjoyable modelling project that I wouldn't have otherwise undertaken at this time.
and good job to the judges, as there was clearly some difficult decisions involved.

Yakromunda is indeed a very cool site. I haven't even had a game yet but I still find the site useful. If your teaching someone and they are building their own gang you might want to start them on the GW printed version of Gang Recruitment. It's got less options so they can just choose something and go with it. I used that style of recruitment for my Infinimunda gang to ease myself into it, you don't get access to any special buffs and arguably that can give you a much stronger early gang.
Thanks! My friend is an old 2nd ed player, so he's already up to speed.

Your Test of the Spirit is to descend into the Underhive, and recover as much Archaeotech as possible, over the course of nintey Hivedays. You have been assigned a retinue of menials and servitors, including a Calligraphus. As you are aware, you will be judged upon your return, to see if you are fit to enter the ranks of the Run Priests. Loss or destruction of Mechanicus property will be viewed...poorly.
Arch-Magos Sepherin, in his infinite wisdom, has also assigned a Ministorum Choir Drone to your retinue. We do not need to explain the...burden...this places upon you, nor do we need to explain the higher level of expectations. For whatever reason, you have been favored, Delgado Skaenlind.
Failure is not an option.
You are dismissed."
Gun Servitor Moxin (Gang Heavy)
"Criminal Moxin, you have been charged with fifteen counts of larceny, and two counts of murder in the first degree. Evendence has been congitated by the logitators, as provided by the Arbities of Precinct 11/13A. The evidence has been examined by Judge Seamus McGarr, and has proven to be accurate and correct.
By the laws of Necromunda, you are hereby handed over to the Adeptus Mechanicus for processing, in the hopes that you can be re-introduced into the hive as a functional and productive member of society.
In light of the evidence, no appeal will be accepted."
*GAVEL*
Gun Servitor 32415 (Gang Heavy)
"I live in a dream of light and shadow. I had a life, once. Wife. Kids. I worked in Fab 19, Underdeck two. I worked on a pipecasting line. I don't remember much else, aside from the pain. Pain is all I know, now. Sometimes I look at the mass of cables that replaced my right arm. Cables that can interface with weapons, technology. Sometimes, they let me share the pain. Sometimes, they let me carry little Tomas. Sometimes...sometimes...so... I am Servitor 32415, and sometimes I forget the pain."
Menial Gant Spillarii (Ganger)
<< //Start Calligritape 3,514.99 >> ++ Subject: Menial Gant Spillarii. Male. Recruited from Hive Level 77 LabHab 12 Block 58V. No enhancements. Field performance: adequate. Mental fortitude: adequate. Mechanicus Loyalty: Unproven. Assigned one (1) Servoskull Observer. Issued Fenrir-pattern autogun. Menial has made minor field adjustments expected of Necromundan irregulars, resulting in a 2.17 percent improvement in the weapon's accuracy. << //End Calligritape 3,514.99 >>
Menial Lexin Mantach (Ganger)
"I 'spose it's better'n being in a gang. Food's better, that's for sure. Sure, it is still recycled gakpaste, but you can tell the higher quality of gak, yanno? Maybe even some Spyrer Gak. It is hot, and they even throw some Snakewine at us. Ammo's good, and doesn't misfire, most of the time. 'course, I still scavenge what I can, and sometimes the stuff I find is...not so good. But they don't punish us like they would in a Gang. I don't 'spect I'll be one of them there Magoses anytime soon, but I've got a good life. Bettern' what I had before I was drafted in.
Menial Targ Pelonius (Ganger)
|O| Servoskull 984 -- Datalink Operational -- Recording |O| [Camera: A scene down a rusty hallway, pipes leaking steam and the occasional suspicious-looking ooze.] "Targ. Do you have the stuff?" "Yeah, yeah. I got what you wanted. Snuck it out of the stash right under their noses." "Hey, what is that thing hovering behind you?" "Man, man, don't worry. I took this servoskull's brainchip and re-wried it. Don't you worry, Gerald. My little friend here is totally under MY control. They don't suspect a thing." "Well, all right Targ. But if you screw us, we're coming for you." "Yeah, yeah. Do you want these chips, or what? I got someone willing to pay double for 'em, but you're my good friend, right? Yeah..."
Menial Bax (Ganger)
"This is my Great-Great-Grandfather's laspistol. He was drafted into the Necromunda Second Regiment, surviving many campaigns in the Emperor's Name, until he was sent home, crippled. This weapon has been passed down through my family, arriving in my hands on my 18th birthday. I have been selected to accompany the Aspirant into the hive. I will use my knowledge as my weapon, and my weapon as my light. The machine spirit within this laspistol gives me strength. For the Omnissiah."
Calligraphus Servitor Tixos (Juve)
<< //Start Calligritape 3,573.21 >> ++ Location: Hivelevel 114 ++ HabFab 218 ++ Block 17G ++ [Apsirant Delgado Skaenlind] "Today is a good day, my Retinue. We seek our destiny, here. According to the last Citizen's report, we may find hostile resistance here. Gun Servitors, you are directed to find high cover, and support the general advance. Menial Bax, you will accompany myself and the other Servitors. Menials Gant, Lexin and Targ, you will cover our advance on the ground, as well as conduct standard searches. Ensure that you have all completed the morning Litanies, and applied the grey unguent to your weapons. Report any equipment failures to me. You have your orders, move out on my signal."
Ministorum Choir Drone Aeriss (Juve)
Every third cycle, a number of children are selected by the Adeptus Mechanicus of the Primaris Hive. These children, chosen for their purity of voice, are biomechanically enhanced to enable them to sing at pitches far beyond human norms. If they survive the augmentation process, they are delivered to one of the Choirs of the Host, to bolster the Hive's psychic defenses. Occasionally, some of these Choir Drones are sent into the service of the Mechanicus itself, assighed to accompany and protect a given Magos. The addition of a Ministorum Choir Drone to a retinue is considered to be a significant mark on a Magos' career.

Love it, very fun fluff dude. Sounds like Targ's already been caught double crossing! What more can you expect in the Hive, eh?
Totally psyched to write fluff for my two new characters now, thanks!
P.S. 9 Gang Members? So have both the heavies got heavy weapons or is there a mix of extra equipment throughout the gang? Never mind, just checked the roster.

Yup, only nine. I decided to make a fluff-based gang, instead of a game-based one. My friend's gang has 14 members. So, I expect to get a fair and proper beating.
