LordDan Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 (edited) Plains ambush by lorddan413, on Flickr Lord Dan and his company of men are traveling through a vast plain, miles and miles of low grass, the only variance is turfs of grass here and there. Several days have passed since they first set out and they are making good progress. Lord Dan: Will! My horse is getting restless, I'm going to loop back behind the wagon and ride around for a little while. I'll be back there if you need me. General Will: ( to himself: sure, it's the horse that's restless) Ok, but make sure you don't get too far back. This grass all looks the same. A few minutes later... The Sir Robert and General Will are idlely chatting Sir Robert: So what do you think it will be like? General Will: I'm not sure, from the vauge description on the map it seems to be like most of Avalonia, with plenty of forested areas, lushious grasslands, you know, a typical forest getaway. But I did notice a small mention of a few hills, so there could also be some nice rocky areas. More idle converstation, but then General Will notices movement in the grass. General Will: (In a low voice) Don't look now, but I think there's men hidden in the grass. They're dressed in the same green as the grass, I wouldn't have even noticed them if they hadn't moved. Sir Robert casually looks across the plain, as if admiring the endless grasslands. Sir Robert: (whispering) I saw one, over on the left. General Will: (quietly) Theres another behind you.(loudly) Ok, I've had enough of your silly tales. There's no way a vampire is a duke, here in Avalonia. Robert, why don't you go check the reigns on the right horse over there. They look a little tight and we don't want him getting sore. Sir Robert: Sure thing, I've got him( winking at Will) General Will: I' ll check the right one Will climbs down and " checks" on his horse Will: ( softly, so only Robert can hear) 1,2,3 At three they both spin around and attack the two very surprised bandits that were creeping up behind them. At the back of the wagon a third bandit runs out of the grass, tosses a rope onto the deck and climbs on. Bandit: kkiiillllllll ttthheeemmmm!!! Archer: What the..?! The archer pulls out his knife and blocks the sword blow aimed right for him. Behind the wagon Lord Dan sees the commotion and charges forward with his sword out, ready for battle.

I did, however, enjoy having my soldiers get their first taste of battle. Edited June 27, 2014 by LordDan Quote
Lord Vladivus Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 Nice start to the landscaping- I'd try to add a few more green plates in other colours- maybe a few plants. Just to break it up a bit! Nice story! Looking forward to more! Quote
Simon_S Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 Good start. You did a good job on it. Is it your first MOC? As an adive, I think you should add more smaller green plates and plants, so that the landscape doesn't look as blocky. Also, as I've already said on Flickr, you should try to take better photos of your builds. Take white papers for the background and put your camera on a tripod or on another stand (which can be very improvised, made out of books or something else you can find). Quote
SPARROW THE CONQUEROR Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 Nice build! Though I would add more land. I also recommend a white sheet for pictures, and a yard (standard fabric length unit ) costs around $2 in the U.S. Quote
Maxim I Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 You remind me of my beginning period in Historica Way to go!! Quote
