janatale Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 A strong navy. with massive warships, is becoming more and more important for the defense of Mitgardia. Mitgardian ship builders have been hard at work building up the Navy. However, not all battles require large ships filled with hundreds of soldiers. Speed and stealth is equally important, and this is where the Mitgardian Water And Land Rescue Undertaking Squad excels. The Mitgardian Water And Land Rescue Undertaking Squad, better known of the Mitgardian Walrus's is a group of elite fighters who specialize in hostage rescuing, assassinations, and other special operations. The Walrus's work in a squad of 12 men, split into three different groups. The assault group is responsible for most of the fighting and hostage rescuing. The bowmen provide cover fire and protect the ship when docked in enemy territory. The Transportation group include the ship captain and are responsible for transporting the Walrus's quickly, safely and undetected. Joining the transportation group is extremely difficult, as it requires near perfect sailing, often in complete darkness. Most of the Walrus's work is classified. Recently the Walrus's were tasked with the rescue of [REDACTED] from [REDACTED] on [REDACTED]. The walrus's sailing on S.S. Darkwind, captained by Cpt [REDACTED], approached [REDACTED] at 3:00 a.m. The assault group is in position on the side of the boat ready to move as soon as S.S. Darkwind makes landfall. As they approached land Commanders [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] shot and killed two guards. The S.S. Darkwind made land fall at approximately 3:07 a.m. and the assault group quickly moved to [REDACTED]. The bowmen (dressed in black) set up a defensive perimeter, while the transportation group stabilized the boat, prepared for a quick extraction, and hide the dead bodies of the guards. 4 minutes later, The assault group returned with the hostage safe and unharmed. 23 seconds later, the S.S. Darkwind was on its way back to Mitgardia. No Warus's were injured in the rescue attempt. Mission Accomplished! I had some free time this weekend inbetween sorting previous MOCs and packing my apartment, and put together these scenes quickly, using my ship from a previous MOC. I apologize for the imperfect picture backgrounds, but I wanted to get this MOC and story up quickly for the GNAR contest. C&C welcome . Enjoy! Quote
kabel Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Ah finally, I really like a lot of things I'm seeing here: the ship is great, especially the folded sail adds a nice toch. But the land- and waterscaping are excellent too. Maybe another shot of the ship without any scenery would have been nice too. Quote
Gabe Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Nice ship Janatale, I especially like the figurehead, sloped sides and brick-built sail. I'm with Kabel though, a pic of the ship on it's own would be really good - it's hard to see the detail in those pulled back photos and half your crew are covering the side of the hull in your first pic. I really like your presentation too, with the rescue story. I love the idea of the Mitgardian Walrus's - i'm sure they skinny-dip in trenches cut in the ice on their days off, just like their Russian counterparts! Quote
Gideon Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Those sails are excellent! I like the figurehead a lot as well Quote
Scaevola Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Nice, I like the way you did the windows for the stern castle. I'm not to fond of the shape of the sails, but overall nice work Quote

Ask and you shall receive, here is a picture of just the boat, empty of all people. I made the water level really high in my earlier pictures to hide the brown base, which obviously wouldn't work for a stealth boat.

I can definitely see the Walrus's hanging out in the ice to prove how tough they are. The training to become a Walrus is very intense, nearly 80% of all recruits fail the training course. Quote
soccerkid6 Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 The idea behind this boat is great The sail looks fantastic as do the windows in the stern (that is the correct term ?). The dwarf figurehead gives a nice Mitgardian feel to the boat Quote
MassEditor Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 Awesome build! The ship is nicely detailed and really cool looking. The scenes and stories are very fun too! Quote
de Gothia Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 Such a great idea! Like a swat team in GoH! =) Quote
Davidbarrena Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 Very fun translation of a SEAL team to Historica, and very nice boat and scenery too. Quote
Thomas of Tortuga Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Nice work! The angles of the ship look really nice, and the water effects are also great Quote
Maxim I Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Very nice ship! Also really interesting idea behind the WALRUS I really love the land-part as well! The small road between the tall grass is very well executed! Quote
