MKJoshA Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 This has been my favorite contest on EB to date Thanks for putting it on! And keep posting entries everyone, it's great to see all the fig combos! Mitgardia: Name: Mitgardian Bodyguard - There are all sorts of nasty surprises waiting for traders venturing through Mitgardia. Everything from Yeti, to Ice-Dragons, to angry, bearded women. Most traders hire the services of a bodyguard who knows the lay of the land. This bodyguard favors the tri-headed axe. While not the most practical of weapons, it is fearsome and can scare away the more timid of assailants who don't want three of their limbs chopped off at the same time. Name: Bird-Of-Prey Trainer - Many trainers favor hawks as their pet/hunting weapon. She, however, likes to use the Snowy Owl for blending in with the many miles of snow found in Mitgardia. Many a rabbit, and unwanted suitor, has found themselves at the receiving end of this owl's sharp talons. Name: Dwarven Smith - Everyone knows that dwarves make the best weapons and armor. Whether you are about to go into battle against the Drow, or are just needing your sickle sharpened, visit this dwarf for the best results in all of Mitgardia. Name: Beer Seller - A trip through Mitgardia is not complete without at least one visit to the many taverns, pubs, and bars throughout the land. This merchant will sell you a keg or just a mug of the finest brewed beers, ales, or other strong drinks Mitgardia is so well known for. Avalonia: Name: Bagpiper - Throughout the highlands of Avalonia the drone of the bagpipe can be heard at all hours of the day, or night if the mood strikes him. A favorite at both parties and funerals, this bagpiper is always busy playing his tunes for the many inhabitants of Avalonia. Name: Avalonian Knight - There are many land-owners throughout Avalonia and with land comes the need to protect it. That's why this knight is never wanting for work. He has been hired by many of the lords throughout his lifetime. And while he may look old, his experience at the job makes him more than qualified to still defend the land. Name: Lady-In-Waiting - Many of the lords of Avalonia have ladies, and those ladies need someone to help them into their corsets. These ladies-in-waiting are skilled in all aspects of dressing, make-up, and manners. Name: Squire - All the knights in Avalonia need squires to help them keep their armor looking shining and their horses well fed and groomed. This squire can saddle a horse almost as fast as he can volunteer to practice his sword skills. Nocturnus: Name: Vampire Host - Nocturnus is home to many famous vampires. Some of them are out to turn you into one of them, but many are delightful hosts of any travelers daring enough to knock on their door. Blood Wine anyone? Name: Orc Ambassador - Nocturnus has embassies established in the other guilds of Historica. This requires some of the inhabitants to volunteer to be ambassadors to the other guilds. While this orc may have a face only his mother could love, he tries to make up for it with tasteful attire so that he can do his job well. Name: Morroval Warrior - Many fearsome races inhabit Nocturnus. The Morroval are a cross between vampires and harpies and are excellent fighters. They are a matriarchal society and often sacrifice their men after they have served their use in furthering the race. You would not want to meet this Morroval in any part of Nocturnus for she is more likely to kill you than greet you. Name: Vincent - Not all the inhabitants of Nocturnus are werewolves and minotaurs, but almost all of them have some darkness in their past. Vincent is one such person. He seeks vengeance against those who have wronged him, though he doesn't like to talk about what happened to make him so vengeful. In fact, he doesn't talk much at all, but his Limit Break attack is fearsome to behold. Kaliphlin: Name: Kaliphlinian Scholar - Kaliphlinians are proud of their university and the scholars it produces. This scholar will debate you on whether he should be known as a Kaliphlinian or a Kaliphlinite. He also specializes in knowing the layout of all the major cities in Historica. He can't draw up the maps, he leaves that to the cartographers, but he can recite all the details on square-footage and sewer layout on any city you name. Name: Oasis Guard - Wherever there is water in Kaliphlin there can be found some semblance of civilization. And wherever there is civilization there are guards to be found. Some guard the merchants, some guard the travelers, and some guard the best watering spots at the oasis. Name: Desert Farmer - Farming in Kaliphlin is hard work. It is only by the sweat of his brow that this farmer ekes some vegetables out of the harsh land. He carries seeds to plant in his bag and a mat on his back to layout over the sand when it's time for a lunch break. Name: Music-Box Monkey Man - Not all Kaliphlinians are scholars, farmers, or guards; some of them choose to entertain instead. This man plays a whimsical tune on his music-box while his pet monkey's antics brings smiles to those passing by. Just keep an eye your purse while you're watching this duo. Monkeys can be trained to cut purses and not all entertainers in Kaliphlin are satisfied with the coins donated to them. Quote
Slegengr Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Nice minifigures, MKJ! I particularly like the bird-of-prey trainer, desert farmer, and Vincent with their great combinations! The oasis guard and Avalonian knight are very cool as well. Nice idea for the well-dressed orc ambassador! Quote
Gunman Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Really great set of minifigures mate!! I really like Vincent! Quote
Garmadon Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Great job, MKJ, this contest has certainly brought out some nice minifig combos My favorites are the Mitgardian bodyguard, and the Kaliphinian Oasis Guard and Farmer Quote
Infernum Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Great entry! I think my favs are the Dwarf Smith, the Bird of Prey trainer, and the Morroval Warrior. Nice job! Quote
Yooha Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 I love it, the music-box monkey man is my favourite. And it looks we had one similar idea. Quote
Bregir Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Great choice of figs - I think my favourite is the music box man! :) Quote
Mike S Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Excellent series! My faves are the Dwarven Smith and Desert Farmer! Awesome nod to FF7 with Vincent as well... Quote
mccoyed Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 These are all pretty great. I can't pick a favorite but I love the inclusion of a squire and your Kali figs are super fun and creative. Quote
Mr Greeble Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Great job, but does the color of the monkeys hands change? Quote
Lord Vladivus Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Awesome! I think my favourites are the Morroval and the music box monkey man. Quote
SarahJoy Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Great series! I like that you included a group shot for each guild. The Orc Ambassador is fantastic! Quote
Yzalirk Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Nice minifigs! My two favorites are the Dwarven Smith and the Orc Ambassador. Quote

Nice minifigs! My two favorites are the Dwarven Smith and the Orc Ambassador. Thanks guys! I had so much fun creating them. I think I like fig barfing more than I like story-writing or building I love it, the music-box monkey man is my favourite. And it looks we had one similar idea. Great minds think alike! Great choice of figs - I think my favourite is the music box man! :) He's certainly one of my favorite out of the bunch. Excellent series! My faves are the Dwarven Smith and Desert Farmer! Awesome nod to FF7 with Vincent as well... Glad you got the reference I just wish they had that head with red eyes to make it even more authentic. Great job, but does the color of the monkeys hands change? Whoops Obviously you can tell I was still making up my mind on that. The monkey is supposed to have the lighter hands. Great series! I like that you included a group shot for each guild. The Orc Ambassador is fantastic! After putting so much time into each fig, I couldn't pass up the chance to showcase them all just a little more Quote
MKJoshA Posted November 25, 2014 Author Posted November 25, 2014 I've updated the Kaliphlin picture so that the monkey has the right colored hands. Music-Box Monkey Man is outstanding! Thanks! Quote
legoloco Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 Love the Morroval Warrior. The Bird of Prey Trainer and Music-Box Monkey Man are great additions / depictions of other members of society outside of the standard warrior/creature mix. Quote
Graham Gidman Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 Love the Dwarven Smith and the Avalonian Knight! Great work! Quote
LordDan Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 Nice series, the Avalonian knight and Music Box Monkey man have got to be my favorites. Quote
Hammerstein NWC Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 A very enjoyable selection of heroes and villains They are al great but the highlight for me is the gent with his organ grinder and the dancing monkey! Bravo! Quote
soccerkid6 Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 Cool series! The dwarven smith looks great, especially the beard/face/hair combo Vincent, Oasis Guard, and the Music box man are also really neat. That music box is a very clever design Quote
kbcakir Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 I am in love this music box monkey man, I think it is the best civilian fig of the contest yet. Quote
mrcp6d Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 Sweet series, though I'm not too sure about the bodyguard--that triple-bladed axe seems dangerous! Quote

Sweet series, though I'm not too sure about the bodyguard--that triple-bladed axe seems dangerous! Yes, the axe is a little impractical, but after seeing Ecc's Minotaur's axe I didn't think it was too far fetched for GoH Quote
