nine09nueve Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 (edited) The future is bright... The future is green... The future is armoured... And it sits on 2000 pounds of evil smelling tusked terror! Uglugg is a mean old Orc... Veteran of both Dwarvern campaigns and survivor of the Elf border raids... And rumour has it that he has even faced down a Dread Knight in one on one combat! A snarling brutish thug of a warrior - with enough strength to cause plenty of havoc when things are going his way on the battlefield and enough intelligence to retreat when things aren't... Which makes Uglugg the perfect Orc to lead the most feared warband in the known world. Hand picking his lieutenants personally from the strongest tribes around, Ugglug's Armoured Orcs has plundered and scavenged more than enough heavy armour to last themselves a lifetime. And if a fully armoured Orc war band is bad enough, mounting them on the wildest boars in the badlands is downright dangerous! These beasts of battle are ferociously fast, eternally angry and cruelly charge the enemy without mercy. It takes a really brave warrior to stand in the face of a sounder of charging boars. Or a really stupid one. Because of this, no greenskin force should want to fight without the services of Uglugg's Armoured Orcs... And no opposing force should want to face them. Not if they want to survive to fight another day that is. For the first time ever, you can now recreate one of Ugglug's most famous encounters, the Elf Border Raids... Mount Ugglug and one of his trusted lieutenants on war boars and explore the edge of the forbidden forest Wheel out the elf ballista 'Eagle's Claw' and use the twin spring loaded shooters to force the orc raiders out of the forest Use the secret door in the tree to make good the Elves' escape (and get more ammunition for the Eagle's Claw) ---------------------------------------- If there's anything about this that you like then I would love it if you would take the time to click and support! https://ideas.lego.com/projects/134367 Please help inspire TLG and the Lego community to release more castle / medieval / fantasy themed sets! Thank you :D Edited April 21, 2016 by nine09nueve Quote
Mr Greeble Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 Although I really like all the stuff here, the eagles claw doesn't look like it could load the missiles at that angle. Quote

It's tight but they do load and it works fine... I'll get a video to prove it posted up at some point soon (ish) :D Quote
Sandy Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 Wow, the boars are great! The ent eyes really give them a properly frenzied look. I really like the eagle ballista as well, even though it would suit armored "high elves" better than the type of "wood elves" you have used. Quote

Yeah they are just the right side of crazy to work well - thanks On 4/22/2016 at 5:49 PM, Sandy said: I really like the eagle ballista as well, even though it would suit armored "high elves" better than the type of "wood elves" you have used. Heh - you noticed? There isn't quite the right colour range in TLG bricks for my liking... at least I didn't think there was... I don't think I made it clear in the description that the Eagle's Claw repeating ballista is a gift from the High Elves to their Woodland cousins (similar to the Battle chariot). Quote
Master_Data Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 Nice going incorporating Ultron's helmet into a Castle MOC! Quote

You know the moment I saw it I thought... hmm... I wonder... and the second I tried it I was like... cool I'm buying 9 more! :D Its funny that the other ultron helmets just don't work well at all... but perhaps its just on the sand green of the orc... the light bley looks really bad IMO Quote
Master_Data Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 ^ Hmm, I wonder if General Magmar's neck attachment would fit under that helmet... Quote
