A)Build quality amongst all MOCs

B)Number of MOCs of quality [Please remember that Ulandus has a numbers disadvantage here]

C) Story of the MOC

D) Fit to the Warzone. If you are not familiar with the requirements of the warzone, please at least read the “mini-challenge,” “restrictions,” and “Judging” sections listed below.

You can weigh these in any order, or add your own categories. Please consider the three above in your decision though. You may want to clarify or lobby for your favorites in this thread, but you don’t have to write anything if you don’t want to.

Next, pick an answer to each question in the poll.

In the second three questions it will ask you to pick your favorite MOC from each side. Please judge on quality of MOC and its story. You can add other qualifications to your own judging process if you would like.

Finally, submit your vote.

Warzone 6: Last Stand of the Salamanders

Location: B7

Who Can Participate: Ulandus and Desert King (Unless A path is opened up by the HIGH COUNCIL before the end of the minichallenge)

Terrain: After a series of pushes in the Arkbri valley, primarily from the Desert King, the Northern Ulandians find themselves in the crosshairs once again. This time, the 2^nd Legion, the Salamanders (green colors) are holding the last remnants of the once vital Northern corridor. This battle takes place around the town of Northwall.

Northwall is the last major Kaliphlin settlement going north before the Cedrican Grasslands and Avalonia. Its climate is no longer desert, but tall grasslands with the occasional trees. Northwall itself has high walls, in which the Salamanders and their allies have barricaded themselves behind. The forces of the Desert King are all over the region, including a small siege of the town. The buildings of Northwall and its surroundings are a mix between Kaliphlin and Avalonian.

History: Once just a tiny town on the frontier, Northwall has now passed Sand’s End as the northern most Kaliphlin settlement. It is mostly a guard post to keep rogue raiding parties out of the region. Little trade goes through the town, as they do not have the populace to support the vast market days that Sand’s End has. For this reason, most people living in Northwall are related to the military somehow.

Mini-challenge: Northwall’s defenses are quite hardy. Desert King forces should depict a clever way to get through( or over, or under) the wall. Ulandus forces should depict a MOC where the Salamanders and allies cleverly repel the oncoming invaders. Both teams need to depict the walls of Northwall in some manner. Both teams should depict Ulandus forces in some manner – they don’t have to be replicas of the forces used in the preludes, but should have green in their color scheme if possible.

Secondary judging category: Best Wall. Winner of this title will become “Defensive Architect of Kaliphlin”

Restrictions: 16x32

Due Date: April 12th

Oops! Sorry about the overall shot being missing.

[Garmadon]

My vote for best wall goes to marcu

[Kai NRG]

My vote for best wall goes to Garmadon, although it was a close call between him and marcu!

[MassEditor]

Man, this was a really tough choice but my vote for best wall is Emma.

[Gideon]

Great to see such a strong performance from Ulandus!

Tough choice, but I think Jacob Nion gets my vote for best wall thanks to that well executed subtle curve.

[robuko]

Jacib Nion for best wall

[LittleJohn]

My vote for best wall goes to Marcu22

[Blufiji]

I gotta give Emma my vote for best wall. Those details really stand out!

[mrcp6d]

Best wall for Robin Creations

[Lord Vladivus]

Best wall goes to Robin Creations. Tough call, as Jacob, Emma and Marcu's walls were all brilliant too!

[Elostirion]

Many brilliant walls, I will give it to Emma though, because in my opinion this wall matches the description of the architecture best.

[Umbra-Manis]

Best wall for Jacob Nion!

[Emma]

Best Wall: Robin Creations - I think he used both texture and colour to great effect

[Niku]

I will vote for Jacob Nion

Great entries from everyone.

[LordDan]

This was a Really close challenge!! Both sides had several great builds!!

Best wall: Robin Creations

[Jacob Nion]

Best wall: Emma, because of the angled wall and the ornaments

[Bregir]

Best wall: Garmadon

It looks like something which could have been from a real castle!

This was basicly impossible - so many great entries! Both for best wall and the rest of the voting...

[Captain Braunsfeld]

And "best wall" goes to .... Emma!!

[marcu22]

My vote for best wall goes to Jacob. I like the realistic (in my eyes) colour-scheme and the thickness. You could have done some tiling on the walk(how do you say?) for the soldier's, but that's just an small point.

[robuko]

Best wall: Garmadon

It looks like something which could have been from a real castle!

Yes, that is an awesome wall!

[Graham Gidman]

Wow, probably the closest match yet. Well done, everyone!
