The Penguin's Castle Minifigures..... )

[The Penguin]

Nice to see your HOMM III army is still growing!

The gold paint on arms looks good, ut what do you use for "magic twister legs"? I want to make some black and green for orcs-genies!

Thanks, mate! ) Good to know that you like him! )

greenstuff, as usual. )

Oh, dear! Why would orcs need a genie?!

Plus, I've always thought that genies are species of their own!

Good day, ladies and gentlemen! )

[Mörs]

Why don't you make a Titan or an angel?

[Lordofdragonss]

Why don't you make a Titan or an angel?

I think new longer legs and torso (from Toy story) would be awesome from Titans!

But could you answer me what you use for this magic twister? Please? Or maybe its a secret?

Yeah I know that Genies are species of their own, but I have arachnoork in my army so why not ORGenie?

[Forresto]

Yet again i'm quite impressed with you're new figure. I like the subtle difference between the Efreet's and Genie's magical, tail thingie, bottom area. The Genie's is slightly curlier and the Efreet's is flatter, kind've shows the difference between the two species. I don't know if that was intended but even if not it was brilliantly done so good job!

He already answered your question:

GreenStuff:

Modellers when making extra detail on their miniatures use modelling Putty.

This can range from simply adding a pouch or icon to sculpting complete new parts like arms and weapons.

The modelling putty comes as a strip consisting of two colours when this is mixed it will

become a green clay like material that can be sculpted into the desired shape.

Great figs as usual The Penguin. I was wondering, you make all these great figs. But do you display them at home? Do you take them apart? Do you store them with unpainted minifig pieces? Doesn't the paint rub off on regular unpainted LEGO pieces?

Thanks badboytje88! I tought he just joking with this name . I never expect such thing called just Green stuff. I will look for it in our hobby shops!

I wonder what Minifig Pinguin will make next? Goblins maybe?

[BlueBard]

Another great creation, TP! I used to love those blue guys moving around the screen

Hm, perhaps I will! ) Why not?

Hm, I doubt bit, frankly speaking: Titans in HMMIII are colossal at size, so longer arms won't work properly, I guess.....

Sounds great! )

I'm pleased that you liked him. ) Yes, I'm glad that you've noticed that, I wanted them to have a differtent look by addingv such small details! )

Bart

Thanks a lot! )

Thanks for clearing everything up.

I usually keep them in a special box with my other Erathian figs. ) No, I use high-quality paint, so there's no problem with that! ) I hope you'll as well like the upcoming ones..... )

Thanks badboytje88! I tought he just joking with this name . I never expect such thing called just Green stuff. I will look for it in our hobby shops!

I wonder what Minifig Pinguin will make next? Goblins maybe?

Everything's possible. ) There're tonns of heroes and creatures still to be made. )

But I'll be very grateful fo your suggestions! )

Thanks a lot, BB! )

I'm glad you liked those! ) I also hope you'll like the upcoming ones..... )

Good day, ladies and gentlemen! )

[The Penguin]

Another part is here, ladies and gentlemen! )

This time it's.....

Centaur. )

HMMIII:

My version:

Everyone hates Efreets! )

And a unit that's not in HMMIII (however is mentioned), but can be found in Might and Magic VIII game:

Pirate of Regna. )

My version:

I hope you liked that part! )

Any comments, please? )

Good day, ladies and gentlemen! )

[YG-49]

Very nice. Reminds me of something Jasbrick did. Is the torso a decal?

I love how you painted that WHOLE torso just so some chest hair could be shown.

[CommanderFox]

Love the centaur Penguin!

The pirate of Regna, is very nice aswell, very accurate.

Nice job with these! Looking forward to more!

CommanderFox

[BlueBard]

The best custom lego centaur I've ever seen! Will we see the second "version" of it, I mean the white one? And of course the piratebis great too

[badboytje88]

Great use of that very very common pirate torso! I love it. The centaur looks great to. It would look better with a 1x2 tile on it's back in stead of the 1x2 plate. But that's just my opinion.

Bart

[Matn]

All these figures are awesome. And I love the centaur! It's just so perfect. I was about to do the exact same thing since I saw the new trailer of LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4. There's a centaur in it with the body of an official LEGO horse with a LEGO minifigure's torso on it. I already have brown clay, but I'm afraid of cutting my LEGO horses... Some time ago I have thought about making one with just pieces (like SlyOwl's centaurs) but the non-purist way looks so much better (although SlyOwl's centaurs are amazing) and more in scale with normal LEGO figures. You have showed me that it is doable and that it looks very, very nice.

Hmm, I'm still not sure of cutting a LEGO horse...

[Steel Dragon]

The Penguin, I was just recently at a Lego store were they had a christmas-castle display with a centaur almost EXACTLY like yours, but female. You wouldn't happen to be connected to the NELUG display in Natick, would you?

It may just be a coincidence, but I found it odd enough to ask.

[badboytje88]

Join the club...

I made a brick built centaur using countblockula's leg design. I think he looks really good:

But when I see your centaur, it makes me want to cut up half a dozen of horses!

Yep, that was a nice idea. ))

Yep, I guess you're right, with the tile. I'll look into it. )

You don't have to cut your horse to make a centaur. ) Horses can be easilly separated in two parts, and the head goes off pretty easilly. Clay can be used only to stick the torso to the horse body. )

Thanks again! )

No, I'm afraid not. ) Nah, I just know that they all are trying to copy my ingenious work! ) Just joking. )

You don't have to cut any horses. ) Well brick-build ones are also very good. I guess it's a matter of taste mostly. )

Good day, ladies and gentlemen! )

[The Penguin]

Now, ladies and gentlemen! )

Here's a new part! )

This time it's a Mighty Gorgon..... )

A sweet strong Fortress unit, capable of causing havoc in every army. )

MMVIII version:

HMMIII version:

My version. )

When two "tanks" collide! ) I hope you liked that part, ladies and gentlemen! )

Any comments, please? )

Good day, ladies and gentlemen! )

[Forresto]

OMG! you painted a rare cow figure

Just joking, this is pretty nice! I really like the scaling effect on the Cow's (oops sorry Gorgon ) skin. It was a little hard to see at first but is pretty excellent. Great job!

P.S I'm putting my money on the kind've creepy, kind've hot snake woman

Yes, I must say the photo isn't the best one: I think I'll make new ones soon. ) Thanks a lot! )

[Raven Brickroft]

Awesome work with these minifigs Penguin. The Naga has got to be my favorite. I like how you always go into detail, even going so far as trying to emulate the shapes of the eyes.

HOMM3's one of my favorite games of all time. I always played dungeon. Have you thought about making some dungeon creatures? Harpies look like they'll be the most challenging among them. Haha.

[BlueBard]

Great custom gorgon! AKA "Poison tanks"!

[Hound Knight]

That cow -er- Gorgon looks amazing, great paint job as usual Penguin!

That's good to see another HMM fan here. Dungeon, you say? Hm, I'll think about it.

And the new part is here! )

This time it's two heroes:

Duke Winston Boragus (Later King Boragus). )

Boragus was born in the 1100s, and as a young man achieved notoriety upon single-handedly slaying his village's chieftain to assume power over his home village. Uniting fellow tribes under his rule, he participated in the Festival of Life around 1141 AS, and quickly and easily emerged the victor. The new ruler of Krewlod, he eventually came to become known by many as one of the greatest rulers the nation had ever known. He fathered several sons, including Jabarkas, and raised an adopted daughter, Gundula.

Famed for his formidable army, Boragus constantly scouted out recruits from foreign nations. One such mercenary was the Bracadan Half-Genie, Yog. To test Yog, Boragus turned all of his forces against the unknowing warrior upon his arrival through the border; when Yog finally reached Ulgak, Boragus sent him on a mission to distribute the components of the Angelic Alliance across Antagarich.

And the second one is the next Krewlod king Kilgor. )

Boragus played only a small part in the Restoration Wars; on King Gryphonheart's death, he attempted to finance a border offensive into Erathian territory, conflicting with Tatalian King Tralossk hoping to expand his boundaries beyond Hillbridge and into Marshland. After Krewlod's offensive was quashed by Queen Catherine and Gavin Magnus, Boragus withdrew his troops, allowing Erathia to recover. Much more of the kingdom's resources were concentrated in organising the 1171 Festival of Life - four contenders, Kilgor, Degab, Telez and Vilmit, rose to contest his rule.

Kilgor proved the most capable of the four, defeating the Ancient Behemoth Razor Claw and overcoming all of his opponents. Still, confident of his superior skills as a warrior and leader, Boragus welcomed the young Barbarian's challenge. In the final contest for the throne, he lightly taunted Kilgor through missives, but was unexpectedly bested in strategy. Overcome, Boragus was slain in cold blood by Kilgor and beheaded. His severed head was interred as a bust in the same throne room he once presided over, an event which marked the beginning of Kilgor's brutal reign.

I hope you liked that part. )

Any comments, please? )

Good day, ladies and gentlemen! )
