Legonardo Posted October 13, 2013 (edited) Nocturnus community build time! Nocturnus is the dark part of Historica, and though historical records of Nocturnus’ past are scatted and inconsistent at best, it is widely known the various tribes and regions of Nocturnus were controlled by tyrannical warlords. This challenge is to show these legendary warlords from the past doing their thing! It requires you to build in all 3 of the following stages, once stage 1 is complete; you may go on to stage 2, etc. Here are the stages. Stage 1 16x16 vig - Champion Show us a warlord, give us his/her background and create a vig showcasing him/her! The focus of this stage is figure itself and attention to detail in a small setting. Custom and aftermarket parts are totally and completely allowed. Max size 16x16 or the equivalent 256 studs for those into irregular bases. Stage 2 32x32 scene - Gang Depict a scene of your champion and a gang carrying out mischief! Will they be ambushing travelers? Looting the rich? Looting the poor? Show us how bad your gang can get! This stage gives you a bit more freedom, carrying on the focus from stage 1 with composition and ideas beginning to play a part. Max size 32x32, or the equivalent 1024 studs for irregular bases Stage 3 Unlimited scene - Raid/siege Now show us who’s boss! Take your champion and set their armies free! Show a great battle from the past that really made a name for your warlord. Some ideas include a great siege on a castle, raiding a rival’s villages, or using your loot to buy new friends! It’s really your choice! There’s heaps of freedom in this one, no size limit or restrictions, just make sure that it give your character the look of a warlord. Once all 3 are completed you will receive the title "Legendary Warlord". Edited March 12, 2014 by ZCerberus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZCerberus Posted March 12, 2014 Super awesome Community Build LD. Sorry it took a while to hash the timing of this out with Challnge 1 and all. If you complete all three stages before end of day May 31, 2014 US Pacific time, you will be eligible to join the story team for Nocturnus when the civil war circles back to Nocty! The best overall participant will be selected by the core leaders. This also means LD, you are totally able to participate in your own community build. I also want to add that just because we are dealing with something a little less PG and even though this IS an AFOL site, and as subjective as it all is, please make sure we keep a certain level of appropriateness and taste here. I know it is a careful line to tread, but it would make me happy if these builds were awesome and not "disgusting" Let's see some mayhem Guildsmen! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Architect Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) Hey good idea with this Legonardo/ZCerberus, I'll definitely participate in this. And could one of you please clarify if the Legendary Warlord title is for everyone who completes all three challenges, or for the winner/s of the challenges. Thank's guys. Edit: Spelling.

Captain BeerBeard Posted March 13, 2014 Wow! What a cool idea. Definitely have to make time for this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everyone who completes will get the title, but only the best overall set of MOCs will have the opportunity to join the story team. Before anyone asks, your home build MUST be Nocturnus to receive the warlord title or get on the story team, but if you want to participate and you are not in the best guild, you can do so. You never know- you could get a new EB member title or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also a few weeks ago I'd finished a medium-large build so I'll do it up and change it a little and that'll be my Challenge C !

But, this challenge looks great and I love that its more of a sigfig story/background type challenge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike S Posted March 16, 2014 I just realized that my Open Season build would fit perfectly for Stage 2 if I was a Nocturnus. If non-Nocturnus members participate, is a foreign warlord operating in Nocturnus count? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Architect Posted March 17, 2014 It is a known fact that ''foreign warlord'', equals spy. Yes I think it could count. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike S Posted March 18, 2014 It is a known fact that ''foreign warlord'', equals spy. Yes I think it could count. Well I'm not sure he would be considered a spy as he doesn't pretend to work for Nocturnus. He would be more of an invader warlord I'd say. Anyway I still would like a positive answer on this before I work any further. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr Rod Posted May 24, 2014 Well Dr Rod is a bit late to the party and won't get this done in time, will stick to free builds I think. Dr Rod Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
