LordDan Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 (edited) The Nile Crocs strike again!! Led by the mysterious Ka-a-Sobek, the fearsome Nile Crocs wage war against the enemies of the Desert King, mercilessly eliminating small groups of hostiles. Following a series of minor victories they have become increasingly aggressive and have begun to set their sights on bigger prizes... After receiving word that a large Ulandian force would be passing nearby Ka-a-Sobek knew it was finally time to go all out. He gathered all his troops in nearby areas and planned an ambush… It was a peaceful, sunny day. A gentle, soothing breeze rustled the pam trees, and the water was calm, reflecting the beautiful blue sky. There was a tranquil silence, broken only by the occasional squawk of tropical bird deeper in the trees. Suddenly the silence was shattered by a continuous tapping sound, growing louder by the minute. Suddenly a pair of marching soldiers came into view, then another pair, and another, and another, until a score of soldiers could be seen marching in a column. They wore strange looking breastplates and were garbed in a light shade of green. On their heads they work polished silvery helmets, which shone blindingly in the sunlight and carried razor sharp spears. These were soldiers of the Second Legion of Ulandus, the Salamanders. Suddenly, the entire line dissolved into chaos. Along the entire bank Nile Croc warrior appeared out of the water, rushing onto the shore while more warriors appeared in the water behind them. Ka-a-Sobek led the attack from the front, ambushing the front of the column. He burst out of the water, shouted "ATTACK!!!!!" and charged onto the shore.There he dueled against the Ulandian officer in command of this unit. The duel was ferocious, and several times Ka-a-Sobek barely avoided being impaled by the Ulandian. The duel raged on for several minutes, during which the Crocs finished off the remaining Ulandians Eventually the Ulandian officer tired slightly, and Ka-a-Sobek quickly ended the duel. The battle was won! After the battle the Nile Crocs had a huge feast, which lasted the rest of the day. Afterwards they left a message nearby for the Ulandians Additional Pictures: Ulandian Officer Croc Elder The road Figless The Nile Crocs trained war crocodile Sorry about the bad pictures(again). I was in a HUGE rush to take these since I had to leave for a ski trip immediately after this and I wasn't going to get back till after the deadline, so I had almost no time time to take pictures. C and C appreciated Edited March 14, 2015 by LordDan Quote
Sir Gareth Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Nice entry, Lord Dan! I really like the Nile Crocs emerging from the water and the bone writing is very creative! Happy to have you on my team, keep up the good work! Quote
LittleJohn Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Great work, LD! I like the road and vegetation Quote
robuko Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 This is excellent. Very nice snot techniques and wonderfully creative figure posing in the water. Quote
Lord Vladivus Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Nice posing, and great snot work. I like the figs too, especially the croc elder. Nice one with the bone writing too! Quote
Bregir Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Cool build - the way the nile croc warriors emerge from the water is really nice, and I like how you used the crocodile head! Quote
Kai NRG Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Nice work with the submerged croc in particular! The SNOT road is well done too! Quote
Yzalirk Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Very nice build, LD! The Croc Elder also looks cool and adding the actual crocodile head in the water was a nice touch as well. Quote
Jacob Nion Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Great how you placed the croggs in the water. Good entry! Quote
LordDan Posted March 14, 2015 Author Posted March 14, 2015 Nice road and croc elder Thanks! The road was probably one of my favorite parts; it took a while to get it to be slightly indented from the surrounding area. Nice entry, Lord Dan! I really like the Nile Crocs emerging from the water and the bone writing is very creative! Happy to have you on my team, keep up the good work! Great work, LD! I like the road and vegetation This is excellent. Very nice snot techniques and wonderfully creative figure posing in the water. Thanks guys! Nice posing, and great snot work. I like the figs too, especially the croc elder. Nice one with the bone writing too! Neat build ! Love the message Thanks! I built the bone writing for a Nocturnian build but I couldn't really fit it in, so I used it here instead Cool build - the way the nile croc warriors emerge from the water is really nice, and I like how you used the crocodile head! Nice work with the submerged croc in particular! The SNOT road is well done too! Very nice build, LD! The Croc Elder also looks cool and adding the actual crocodile head in the water was a nice touch as well. Thanks guys!! I had been wanting to show that the Nile Crocs used actual crocodiles too. I looked at Kai's and robuko's designs for submerged crocodiles for inspiration, and messed around with bricks that they used until i came up with this The Crocs strike again! Yep, and they will continue to assault the enemies of the Desert King! Great how you placed the croggs in the water. Good entry! Thanks! This used almost all my Chima Crocs( I had to steal them from my previous builds). I definitely need to get another Croc battle pack Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 The bone message is a good idea! Quote

soccerkid6 Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Great work, LordDan. The crocodile mostly in the water is my favorite part, but the road and fig posing are excellent as well. Approved Quote
Garmadon Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Excellent build LD! Very nice minifigs and posing and great work with the half-submerged croc! I really like the SNOTted road as well! Quote
