[WZ13, F12: Desert King] A Treacherous Road

[MassEditor]

If I were to win, I'd like to pick F2 as the next warzone.

Aymeri's retreat from Katoren depended heavily on the use of mobile fortifications. While these lumbering defenses succeeded in repelling Ulandus and Desert King attacks on the well-maintained low roads, they fared poorly on the rugged mountainous paths and proved to be easy targets for enemy ambushes. Those driven by oxen were particularly vulnerable as the animals could not easily navigate the rocky terrain. One by one the fortifications fell, often to fire and landslides trigged by enemy forces.

Below, a group of Desert King soldiers use a tree they dug up to destroy the advancing wagon:

These High Council soldiers weren't given much time to duck:

Somewhat of a transformable aspect to this build:

The blood requirement:

The wagon by itself:

------------------------------------

Phew, almost didn't have a build for this warzone. This was quite the challenging contest - I had plenty of fun ideas, but virtually none that would fit within the maximum footprint of this warzone! Finally threw this together, and it definitely isn't my most inspired build. Still, this was an interesting warzone and there's been some really neat builds enter it. Thanks for looking, feedback always appreciated!

Great scene, ME, it made me laugh a little

[Blufiji]

That second to last pic was brutal! Nice scene!

[Graham Gidman]

I particularly like that tree, though the whole build is quite nice.

Nice rock work ! Love the wagon

[LittleJohn]

Excellent entry! The tree and rockwork are superb Great base too

[Captain Dee]

This is a unique concept and exceptionally well-built. The base, rocks and tree are all superb and the wagon and ox team are very good. The smashed wagon looks great (in the spirit of the contest, that is). And the minifig posing and expressions match the story well. Excellent overall!

[Kai NRG]

The wagon shape is excellent, and the transforming function gave me a good laugh! Also some really nice rockwork!

I know what you mean about the footprint... it's really hard to fit any vehicle on something this small!

[Spader]

Nice caravan!

[Jacob Nion]

Man that's exactly the wagon design I was originally going for. Great job on that! The rockwork is also excellent and the idea with the tree is just smart.

[MassEditor]

Thanks again guys!

Man that's exactly the wagon design I was originally going for. Great job on that! The rockwork is also excellent and the idea with the tree is just smart.

Haha, I just noticed how similar our two designs were - great minds think alike, eh? Actually, I sat with this in my hands for about a full day trying to come up with something decent. Still, finally had to give up when the deadline began looming. This was certainly the hardest WZ yet for me.

TIMBER! Nice wagon and tree!

[Garmadon]

Ha, ha, excellent build ME, and fantastic transforming function! Very nice rock-work and tree, and the wagon is superb!

[Balbo]

Outstanding work!

I really like the rockwork and the falling tree. The posing of the minifigures is excellent, too.

[Lord Vladivus]

Nice cart!

[Robin Creations]

Great job! I love that base and it looks wonderful with those rocks!

The double yoke of oxen look great! Clever harness design Also a very good wagon and landscape
