Kai NRG Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 The din of battle raged all around and at last concentrated itself upon a little strip of wall toward the south. The Desert King forces pressed on in spite of the thickly flying arrows of the defenders, dragging ladders after them, scrambling up the rock on their hands and knees. It seemed that nothing would stop them; careless of death they came forward and at last, with a hoarse, triumphant shout, placed their ladders against the wall. Up top, the defenders couldn't help but grin. Those mummies were no good at math. The ladders were too short! Disheartened by their utter failure, the Desert King forces soon gave up and retreated in complete discomfiture. Comments are welcome! I believe this is the largest sliver of wall I've done yet, used up just about all my tan and dark tan 2x1 plates! Quote
LittleJohn Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 Fantastic wall! The texturing is superb and I really like the use of torsos on the battlements Great story too :laugh: Quote
Lord Vladivus Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 Great texturing, and I echo LJ about the torsos! Nice story too! Quote
Jacob Nion Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) You've done a great job on the wall. I like the use of those torsos a lot. And the ports for the crossbows are also a great job. This will definitely be a hard battle. Edited April 9, 2015 by Jacob Nion Quote
Garmadon Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 Excellent entry Kai, great job on the wall's texture! Great story as well, those mummies... ...This will definitely be a hard battle. I hope so! Quote
soccerkid6 Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 In all reality, who would want mummy soldiers? I mean, their brains must have decomposed long ago... Great build Kai, I like the plate texturing and the wooden shutters are a nice touch The rubble filling might look a little better if it was closer to flush with the end of the wall Quote
MassEditor Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 Great scene and entry, the wall looks superb. I've been looking forward to seeing entries for this minichallenge, considering the somewhat minimal size limit. I figured it would make for some tall builds, and this is a perfect example of going vertical for some extra detail. The rockwork looks good too but my favorite detail is that crossbow sticking out of the window slit. Nice touch! Quote
Kai NRG Posted April 9, 2015 Author Posted April 9, 2015 Thanks guys! In all reality, who would want mummy soldiers? I mean, their brains must have decomposed long ago... Great build Kai, I like the plate texturing and the wooden shutters are a nice touch The rubble filling might look a little better if it was closer to flush with the end of the wall Thanks! Yes, now that you mention it that looks quite weird. It's just that with the jumpers sticking out I felt that it should be inset a bit so I gave it a half inset and then with the angle only caught the ones that were sticking out... but the rest is there, I assure you! Great scene and entry, the wall looks superb. I've been looking forward to seeing entries for this minichallenge, considering the somewhat minimal size limit.

The rockwork looks good too but my favorite detail is that crossbow sticking out of the window slit. Nice touch! Thanks ME! Actually I could have done a wider wall but that would have sliced the height about in half. This kind of texturing sure uses up a lot of pieces! Quote
Jakorin Swiftsword Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Nice wall! And great work on fig posing. Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Great build and great wall (I mean, not that "Great Wall", but a fine wall...) But of course the DK attack was just a diversion, a mock attack... Quote

Balbo Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Wow, I really like the story and the build! Especially the wall looks great Quote
Kai NRG Posted April 13, 2015 Author Posted April 13, 2015 Wow, I really like the story and the build! Especially the wall looks great Thank you! Probably one of my best walls! Quote
Bregir Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 Overall really nice build! Both the cliffs and the wall look great, and those crenelations are very inventive! And that crossbow sticking out is a great detail! Quote
