Wedge09 Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Hello all, this is my entry for Challenge II: Avalonian Civil War Category B on Simon's side: Setting an ambush... and the trap is sprung! I try, this time, to write a more complex story to support my MOC, I hope you enjoy it! After recovering all the needed information, the council of Erilea prepared a plan to counter attack the Drow invasion. One of the major group of Drow forces was on route of Hidden Garden and an intervention was needed. a lot of ruins appears in the forest of Erilea and one of these was perfect for an ambush: an ancient gate, a way to control the traffic, was on the assault route of the Drow and it was the perfect location to set an ambush. Alexander Vandangant was tasked to lead the ambush and with the help of others people from hidden garden start preparing the ambush location... "Are you sure this will work?" the question arrives through Lyanna's soft voice in Alexander's mind who is watching the horizon waiting the Drow forces. Under them, they hear Steve the Dwarf's voice who is leading the work; thoughtful, the elven archer turns to her "This is our best opportunity to eliminate as many as possible Drow and most important thing, save Hidden Garden. I'm sure all will give their best and the ambush will work." "I'm happy you are so sure about all, I trust you." Lyanna's smile is so contagious that Alexander find himself smiling; after that Lyanna leaves them to go check on the approach of the Drow. I decided to "remake" the previous MOC, depicting the moment the Avalonian trap was sprung against the Drow. ...and then, after a few hours of waiting, Lyanna is back "They are at like 30 minutes from here." "Well." all the soldiers are already hidden in position and they are only awaiting a single command from Alexander to start the fight. Minutes seems reall long before the first Drow mercenaries appears; Alexander awaits until they come within the reach of bow's arrows and then the the trap is sprung: the Drow are trapped. Quote
-Horizon- Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Nice mountain work Wedge. The barricade looks nice. Great job Quote
-Carson Haupt- Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 I like it but the finished gate looms very refined for having just been built. Quote
Scaevola Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Nice work with the foliage at the bottom. The rockwork isn't very varied however, and the wall section is barely distinguishable from the cliff itself Quote
de Gothia Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Great idea and I love the rockside! The minifigs posings are perfect and make the whole scene come alive! Well done! Quote
Gabe Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Nice Wedge, there are some good elements in this. Your foliage and ground cover in particular is interesting and varied. Your rockwork is satisfyingly high, but seems a little plain to me - i'd love to see some snot or angled sections to liven it up. It'd also be nice to see more form and bulk put into the little tree on the cliff top as well. But your figs are nice and i like the little scene of the dwarves working. Quote
Kayne Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 Nice build Wedge! At first I thought I would like to see the rocks and then the man-made fortress portion in different shades of gray, but the more I think on it, I think I like that it flows as if they truly were built right out of the mountain Quote
soccerkid6 Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 Great build, Wedge! The rock and ruins look great and blend together nicely Excellent foliage too Quote
MKJoshA Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 I love the rock work and your use of old grey and new bley. Great variation! Quote
Rogue Angel Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Nice job on this one! The foliage is nice and varied, and I Love how the story progresses through the pictures. Quote
Maxim I Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 The ambush is very nicely executed!! Great work with the story telling through pictures and with the cliff! Quote
Wedge09 Posted June 28, 2014 Author Posted June 28, 2014 Nice mountain work Wedge. The barricade looks nice. Great job Nice work! Thanks lego3364 and Lord Vladivus I like it but the finished gate looms very refined for having just been built. From the building of the palisade and the battle pass a few hours, Avalonians prepared this ambush with all the details and prepared the palisade's part before so why not? Nice work with the foliage at the bottom. The rockwork isn't very varied however, and the wall section is barely distinguishable from the cliff itself The fact that the wall section is barely distinguishable from the cliff itself, is desired as a symbol of perfect union between nature and uman building. Nice Wedge, there are some good elements in this. Your foliage and ground cover in particular is interesting and varied. Your rockwork is satisfyingly high, but seems a little plain to me - i'd love to see some snot or angled sections to liven it up. It'd also be nice to see more form and bulk put into the little tree on the cliff top as well. But your figs are nice and i like the little scene of the dwarves working. Thanks a lot Gabe; about the rockwork, yes, I can do more, I have to study some new technicques about it; the same as for the trees. Nice build Wedge! At first I thought I would like to see the rocks and then the man-made fortress portion in different shades of gray, but the more I think on it, I think I like that it flows as if they truly were built right out of the mountain Thanks Kayne, yours is exactly the idea that I wanted to make Great idea and I love the rockside! The minifigs posings are perfect and make the whole scene come alive! Well done! Great build, Wedge! The rock and ruins look great and blend together nicely Excellent foliage too Thanks a lot de Gothia and soccerkid6 I love the rock work and your use of old grey and new bley. Great variation! Nice job on this one! The foliage is nice and varied, and I Love how the story progresses through the pictures. The ambush is very nicely executed!!
