highlandcattle Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 This is one of many borderstations between the two nations. It is actually an old invasion camp from when the humans tried to enslave the trolls. Not much remains of the original fort. In the continuing wars between humans and trolls it was devasted many times. Since the trolls are more of a nomadic people, they do not feel the need to rebuilt it. If the humans should attack they would flee into the woods and fight a guerilla war. Like they have always done. Now it serves more as a trading post between trolls and the nearby human colonies. The troll soldiers spend their days gathering all sorts of food to roast on their fire. And asking taxes for passing merchants. The trolls claim that the skeletons under the stairs are the orignial human defenders of the fort, this helps them to collect taxes from passing humans. Enjoy! Sorry about the bad pics, I have a very old camera! Quote
BlueBard Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 Nice MOC! Finally some Troll habitation instead of fortress and attacks to the poor dwarves! Quote
Nikola Bathory Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 haha, very good, they even have a cow! Nice little supply base! And a well too, I like those details. Quote
Asuka Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 That´s a marvelous diorama, very detailed indeed. I like how careful you´ve arranged all these neat attractions to create a devastated scenery without too much gore and with a fine amount of humor. The skulls behind the stairs, the charming camp fire, the barrel, the well and the adequate landscaping (and everything else)´re working together very well. Quote
Natman8000 Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 Great job! It looks like it was fun to make. Quote
Athos Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 Looks good. I wish Lego would make an official set like this, particularly with the cow. I think the crooked well is my favorite detail. The firepit is also well done. Steve Quote
MoonCheese Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 (edited) Lego makes cows? That MOC looks awesome. I wish I had a lot more tree stuff...I like your concept of the trolls inhabiting abandoned structures. I came up with something similar about 2 years ago for a failed fantasy story.

Wouwie Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 Wow! Looks great! Lego makes cows? No, I think the only one that produces them is Brickforge. Quote
Wilhelm screamer Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 Nice job. One gripe with the story; I doubt that the orcs (screw "troll") would use guerrilla warfare, I say that because if their massive siege weapons like the Battle wheel, which I strongly doubt would be useful in guerrilla warfare tactics, because you can't really hide it among the enviorment for a surprise attack. Other than that, good job . Quote

Hmm, I guess you´re right, but on the other hand it could be easily camouflaged into a medieval funfair ride.... Quote
Filozof Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 Hi! Greate Job! I like the hick, and all details! My rate - 6/6 Quote
Vader Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 Great Moc I think it's really great to see moc that helps flesh out the orc's abit more, to me they are more than just brainless killing things. The added skulls and cooking area really is a nice added touch. Hope you do more of these Quote
Lt. Col. Thok Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 Very nice, very rustic, very classic castle. Quote
Flatfoot Thompsen Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 Nice! I like the skulls on the flag polls! Quote
I Scream Clone Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 Hmm, I guess you´re right, but on the other hand it could be easily camouflaged into a medieval funfair ride.... That is just the funniest thing i have read in a while! If i can get the Battlewheel in Australia im so making the medieval fun park! That is one cool Diorama with such cool detailing. What pieces are holding the fire together? Orc On! Quote
The Joker Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 Nice moc, I like how large your fire is and the tankard is pretty cool too. Quote
WhiteFang Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 I love your outpost. The abandoned look and the surroundings give a very good illustration on how the orcs make good use of such places of interest. The well is done in a very good way. This bunch of orcs looks like mercernary too. Overall, nice creation! Quote
