Lord Vladivus Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 Hot on the heels of my my Shadowmere microbuild (http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=86052) comes a minifig scale build! "Deep in the Moruth Swamp, near the citadel of Shadowmere lie several villages. These villages are watched over by warriors of various races, such as Cyclops, Minotaurs, Orcs, and here, Werewolves. Being in the middle of the swamp, the guardsmen are often underequipped, and armour is usually only afforded to those in charge. Here, General Fenrir Bloodcloak visits a village to inspect his werewolf troops. An Orcish farmer collects vegetables from a patch of earth that is less barren than much of the surrounding area, whilst a werewolf eyes up a tasty bird- dinner is served! All the while, a watch-wolf on top of the tower watches for approaching enemies (there's been quite a few Avalonians pass this way, we helped them, er become not lost )." A few other views: The tower's small (impractical) interior: And the build, sans minifigs: Cheers for looking, c+c welcome! (I apologise for the poor photography, i don't have my set up optimised yet, (this is just sheets of paper haha!) and my camera is being borrowed, so my iPhone is standing in!) Quote
Hyler Talliwell Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 Nice work. it's always good to see the swamplands represented. Quote
ZCerberus Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 More swamps!! More swamps!!! More swamps!! Quote
Lord Vladivus Posted August 22, 2013 Author Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) @ZC Hopefully should some more forthcoming- I am after all based in the Moruth Swamps! Thanks Damaximus and Hyler! Edited August 22, 2013 by Lord Vladivus Quote
monsinjor Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 Nice work indeed. Very nice tree also. Great work! Quote
Lord Vladivus Posted August 22, 2013 Author Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) Cheers! The tree went through many incarnations till I was faintly satisfied. I still want to improve it, it's hard coming up with a tree that looks swampy enough! But, I'm planning more swampy shenanigans, so I have time to practice!

Dr Rod Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 Swampy swamp. Nice you got an interior in there too Quote
Lord Vladivus Posted August 23, 2013 Author Posted August 23, 2013 Thanks. The interior was actually supposed to be a stand-alone vig, but ended up in this instead! Quote
Gideon Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Nocturnian farming! I guess that the swamps are to Nocturnus what the fertile river valleys are to Kaliphlin? Oh, and nice tree and tower as well! Quote
Lord Vladivus Posted August 23, 2013 Author Posted August 23, 2013 I'm nearly done with my next MOC (well 2 actually!) and one of them is a continuation of this story as such. I might make this a sort of series of MOCs, showing village life in Nocturnus. Ooooo ideas... Quote
soccerkid6 Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 Great to see some Nocturnus builds again. I really like the curved stairs, tree design, and interior in this build. The scroll and candle techniques are excellent Quote
Lord Vladivus Posted August 24, 2013 Author Posted August 24, 2013 Thanks SK, the scroll idea was pilfered from somewhere else, I can't remember who! The plates for those stairs are a godsend! Quote
de Gothia Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 Nice to see more activity in the Nocturnus! This moc is lovely! I love the tower! Quote
Lord Vladivus Posted August 28, 2013 Author Posted August 28, 2013 Thanks DG! Hopefully there will be more Nocty activity with the advent of Book 2! Quote
