- Spark - Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 This is my thired battle of my new series called What If Battles? This is where i place British line infantry against opponents they may have not encountered. Location: Cairo, Egypt Date: 1861 Brief Story: As a detachment of the British Infantry explore Egypt they come across alot more than they bargined for... Who will win? My BrickShelf Quote
Peanuts Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 Finally a balanced battle! Well, although...the British use guns, but two of them are already caught in hand-to-hand combat, and two are fleeing, and the other two propably won't reload fast enough to shoot multiple rounds, before the flying mummies kill them...the flying mummies are much faster than walking men, so I suppose the British won't get a chance to win this battle...on the other side... GO RED COATS! You'll kill them mummies! Nice build and an interesting battle indeed. Keep up the good work. And, by the way, I'd love to see some Mummy vs. Ninja fight. Quote
LandShark Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 Yet another great part, Spark. Once again the choice of minifigure heads are perfect, especially the one in the water. Your photography is very good, as is the whole scene. And, I can see that the battles are getting slighty more ridiculous every time. Still hoping for British VS Robots. Quote

Bjornu Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 (edited) I'm sorry to say this but I think I really should inform you: These "What if battles" are pretty strange on a Classic-pirate Forum, because this actually has not much to do with the classic pirates... If you like this kind of scenes you sure should go on, but I want you to know there are also people that dislike this kind of posts. I don't want to disrespect you or be harsh to anyone! I also see you used my technique of painting the shaco feathers to white ones, one advice: try to do it more carefull, because I can much places where you spilled some paint. greetz Bjornu Edited September 7, 2011 by Bjornu Quote

Weil Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 These "What if battles" are pretty strange on a Classic-pirate Forum, because this actually has not much to do with the classic pirates... It's probably a little bit of a fine line but several forum moderators commented on the first one with the british line and the sammurai without asking for it to be removed and none of them have been further off topic than that one so I think it's pretty fair to assume it's fine. Best to leave that type of thing up to them anyway don't you think? I like the 3rd installment! Quote

Captain Becker Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 (edited) This time, i say mummies. Why? Because you cant kill something, wich is already dead can ya? Great MOC once again mate. Captain Becker Edited September 7, 2011 by Captain Becker Quote

Best to leave that type of thing up to them anyway don't you think? I like the 3rd installment! I was not insisting to get things removed or acting as an moderator, I just gave my opinion that I did not like non-classicpirate posts on a Classic-pirate Forum. For an example: If it would be British Line Vs French Militia, French farmers, Outlaws, Buccaneers, Spaniards, Cavalry or whatelse thats related with the Pirate era I would have a agreed with the post. I hope I did not insult anyone, Greetz Bjornu Quote
Sebeus I Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 hmmm, a mummy is an undead, how does one kill the undead ? maybe a headshot will do like in shooter videogames yeah, if the british are good in making head shots they could win Quote

Captain Becker Thanks Captain Becker! indeed you cannot kill the dead hmmm, a mummy is an undead, how does one kill the undead ? maybe a headshot will do like in shooter videogames yeah, if the british are good in making head shots they could win True i think maybe decapatation would do the trick haha Quote
Captain BeerBeard Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 Pharoh's Quest... Wow! you managed to get that theme in with Pirates. That's some original thinking. Mummies hate fire. You got to burn those suckers. Cutting their head's off doesn't do anything because their brains were ripped out. That's part of mumification. Quote
Bart Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 I like ;) Your scenes are getting better and better. I had to look twice to see how you made those mummies fly, and I love the posing of the skeleton with the hair, it really looks if it just dropped dead there. about the winning, I think the mummies will win the first fight, but the British will find a way to kill them undeads and come back and finish them off. Bart Quote
Tomcat RIO Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 well if British agent 007 Daniel Craig is shooting aliens, masked as a cowboy informant in the 1850s, why not the redcoats fight some Alien Conquests!! 1. some nice photography here. 2. This has sparked some imagination for me as well, Egyptian chariots, koulash infantry and Assyrian archers to fight brickforge roman legions (and CMF series 6 ones). 3. Us french bluecoats will not take this initiative by the redcoats anymore. Time to show some blue power! Quote
Erdbeereis Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 I feel that as long as the posts don't become too off-topic like "Mummys are sooooo much better!!!" or something to that effect, these topics are acceptable. However, Spark, you should make sure to work on your capitalization and punctuation a bit, because none of your letter "I"s are capitalized, and you often don't use a period. Quote

Bart haha thanks Bart i thought the stick looked too obvious and yes indeed the british wont give up well if British agent 007 Daniel Craig is shooting aliens, masked as a cowboy informant in the 1850s, why not the redcoats fight some Alien Conquests!! 1. some nice photography here. 2.

Big Cam Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 ahh sorry about that, i just think it looks neater but i will indeed work more on my punctuality If you are saying that typing in all lowercase looks neater than I have to correct you, improper English makes you look like an uneducated child and as you know Eurobricks is an 18+ site. It is also a requirement of the board that you use proper english. Quote

Dead heat, I say....no win no lose....the British have guns, though hopefully more up-to-date than the old Brown Bess, then the Mummy's - flying living dead .....even perhaps ! Keep these coming, aliens soon ? Quote
