Bregir Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) In the lush, dense undergrowth of the Arkbri Valley, the easiest way to manouver is often through the streams and irrigations canals crisscrossing the valley. There, vegetation and rock outcroppings are not hindering movement, although leeches, bugs, and the occasional crocodile can make it an unpleasant experience. Sand King Patrol by Beorthan, on Flickr This morning, a Desert King patrol is scouting for hidden routes to the Quenscross, as part of a concerted effort to covertly move forces towards the expected battle of that strategic chokepoint. Little do they know that their patrol is a about to meet an abrupt and violent end... Ambush by Beorthan, on Flickr With a marksmen posted on the cliffside and two seasoned fighters on the ground, Beorthan reckons the ambush will leave the patrol with little chance. Overview by Beorthan, on Flickr My entry for the High Council to Warzone 1: The Arkbri Skirmishes, in Guilds of Historica Book II, Challenge IV I shall await coordination with my faction before chosing which zone to attack next (should I win). Edit: Next warzone: E8, Queenscross On a side note, the description for this area reminded me of the "green zone" around the Helmand river in Afghanistan, so that was my inspiration. The patrols there often walk in the channels. Edited March 14, 2015 by Bregir Quote
LittleJohn Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Very nice build! I really like the fig posing and stream Quote
Yzalirk Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 I like how you made it seem lush, kind of like an Oasis. Quote
SkaForHire Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 On a side note, the description for this area reminded me of the "green zone" around the Helmand river in Afghanistan, so that was my inspiration. The patrols there often walk in the channels. That is a good real-life example of similar terrain. Very cool build. Quote
Gideon Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Great with reference to real-world geographical features! Nice lush environment and very good gig posing Quote
Basiliscus Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Really nice build! Loving the reeds and the soldiers lifting their weapons above their heads. Nice work Quote
Kai NRG Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 The first shot here is especially good! Nice job with the vegetation, the combination of green, light blue, and dark tan give it a very lush feel! Quote
Blufiji Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Great vegetation. Really sets the atmosphere of ancient Egypt. Quote
Bregir Posted March 10, 2015 Author Posted March 10, 2015 Thanks all, glad you like it! I think these warzone descriptions are great for inspiration It was a hard build to get the angles right in, as the cliffside, vegetation and palm blocks a lot of angles... Quote
soccerkid6 Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Great cliff and jungle undergrowth. I like the guys wading too, approved Quote
Jacob Nion Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 The water works pretty well.also the plants. And the cliff makes the scene even more interesting. Quote
Maxim I Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 So many things to like in this build!! Also very great job with the photography in the first pic!! approved! Quote
Sir Gillian Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Very nice landscape! Like the little river Quote
LordDan Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Great scene! The landscape is very well done, as those LOTR army of the dead figs work great for the Desert King! Nice job on the palm tree too, I may have to borrow that design Quote
Garmadon Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Nice build, Bregir, excellent foliage, and I really like the tan cliff The fig posing and the patrol wading in the canal are great as well! Quote
Capt Wolf Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 You've packed a lot into a small scene. And the figures wading through the water is excellent! Quote
