Proof of power

[dathil]

I realized it is 1st of may today.

Do not expect too much here, this is an older build collab with my 10y/o brother, I tried some building techniques here (walls that are a half stud deeper, orange wall/ 'toilet') and was left with too little time and bricks to finish it,

But I brought my minifigs and prepared this castle for a quick story before the due date :D

I just agreed at the homefront that I'll need a better camera and that I will make a lego studio somewhere. My next build will be small and detailed instead of big and too little bricks:)

I tried to edit these pictures but I fail with photoshop :)

So, enough self-negativity and I hope you like the story progressing :D

Oh by the way, I finally purchased some flags in the ríght colors (green/yellow), so now I can show my own allegiance as well.

Part one

Swearing Allegiance

Bull's Eye Fortress

After the arrival of the strangers, it was done with the quiet in the Bull's Eye.

'My king, the men are not happy with your decision. They don't trust these strangers, and some are preaching to revolt.'

With these words Davok disturbed Ryban in his private room. Ryban stood there, gazing to his weapons hanging on the wall, where first the picture of his wife shined, before she disappeared.

They looked outside, and indeed, it seemed like the assembled men grew angry.

Some abused the fact they had to muster to speak to all the Bulls at once.

Then, suddenly, the guards all blew their trumpets.

A band of warriors was sighted, heading to the fortress. They carried Kaliphlin banners.

The envoy from Nocturnus saw them, and they headed to the gate, shouting that these men came for them, and thus they would deal with them.

While his guard prepared his axe, the envoy seemed like he was channeling something.

Flames seemed to grew from his hands, and from the inside of the walls sounded yells, both terrifying and enthousiastic shouts.

Then he put his hands together, and a beam of flames was aimed towards the attackers, creating a fiery zone before their feet. None of them was burned, nonetheless.

They turned around and started to run, apparently it was not that good an idea to invade this fortress.

Loud cheers sounded from the battlements, as the Bulls saw they could trust these strangers.

Davok realized that all of the invaders had seemed quite northern, none of them had a tan colored skin.

Also, the envoy said he knew the attackers even before he could see in that direction.

Something seemed wrong here, somehow he had the idea there was something going on...

Post was too large,

Good build!

Tough one can see the lack of bricks, I love that interior in the first image

[LittleJohn]

Very nice build, as Titus said, the interior in the first pic is excellent Interesting idea with the tower having horns too

[soccerkid6]

The fireplace with shield and sword hanging over it looks nice A picture showing the whole build at once would be nice, to give us a better idea of how everything fits together

EDIT:

Whoops, missed the extra pictures in the spoiler I like the town wall with gate, and how you did extra wooden supports there. The tower being set at an angle is neat, but the loose plates around the bottom look rather messy.

Nice build! The interior in the first shot looks very good. Outside could use a bit more texture on the ground, but understand if that is due to lack of bricks. Some of the white plates look very dirty, so a wash of the pieces may help there Good job in any case!
