Sionicus Rex

Originally yes haha, but unfortunately it weighs a bit to much so while the front legs are articulated, the back ones are fixed into position

Hi all, thought you might like my Mumakil Moc

The winter snows came early in 601 AD, the Angle king of Bernicia, Aethelfrith has not long won a great victory over the Gododdin at Catraeth and warrior bands scour the land. One such group comes across the old fort of Raxtomessavadum, unbeknown to then once maned my their mercenary forefathers. There they find the fort abandoned except for two romano-british hermit's, Sabinus and Aneirin who call down curses on the pagan invaders. Aneirin is cut down, while the drunken Angles use Sabinus as a butt and laugh at how his god cannot save him. Fast forward to the spring of 638AD and the new king Oswald visits the site of the martyrdom, surveying the land he tells his architect of the chapel he wants built to commemorate the two hermit's and to pay his dues for the actions of his father's men.

In the year 122AD the Emperor Hadrian ordered the building of a wall across the northern expanse of Britannia. Each mile there was to be a small fort, the purpose of which was twofold, to provide a watchful garrison and to allow for passage through the wall for trade and forays. One such mile castle was sited overlooking a ford, the legion assigned to its construction, Legio I Sionicus. The legionaries constructed a short axis fort and wall that spanned the river on pillars sunk into the river bed. The fort interior provided a small barracks block for 8 men, a store room and a small stabling area for a single horse. The fort successfully weathered the trials and troubles of the frontier with many raids from Caledonian tribesmen. By the mid 4th Century AD however the series of civil wars was taking its toll on the military presence in Britannia, this culminated in 407 AD with Constantine III withdrawing the remaining forces from Raxtomessavadum for his campaign on the continent. The fort, inhabited almost continually for 250 odd years now slowly falls into disrepair and ruin, anything of value being stripped and its stones robbed.
