Alfadas Posted August 19, 2016 You might think, what is the CBC entry doing in the GoH forum? Well, one good reason. Alfadas is back in action! After a long hiatus, Alfadas is finally back to his old self! Once again he finds himself in a raging battle, somewhere in the South of Mitgardia, a massive battle between his army and the armies of the Orcs, once again. Not really a backstory, just a big battle between orcs and humans. Alfadas, back to his old self, amidst his warriors. That's it for now, hope you liked it!

Exetrius Posted August 19, 2016 (edited) Welcome back, Alfadas! Great minifigure scene, especially with the duel on the bridge. Also noteworthy are those lantern type of.. plants? Really the only thing that I don't like about the terrain (and this build, for that matter) is the water; the straight corner and the obviousness of the opaque blue tiles are not a pleasing sight. Other than that, a solid build! (btw, what is CBC?) Edited August 19, 2016 by Exetrius Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henjin_Quilones Posted August 19, 2016 The minifig posing in the battle looks great, but I second Exetrius in that the river looks a bit off with the squared off corner and the rigidly straight lines of the blue tiles. The rocks and plants make for an interesting little bit of terrain, however. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The problem with the river is, I don't have more blue tiles. This really is all. But next week I am going to visit a PAB wall and hopefully get more blue tiles, and some other useful pieces for water. Otherwise, a visit to Bricklink will have to do Edited August 19, 2016 by Alfadas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TitusV Posted August 19, 2016 Very Nice build, and tough I'm not fully sold on the lantern-plants, I Love the minifig-posing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(I have the same problem, the biggest build with water I did was.. 6x6, I think ) Colossal Battle Contest, you say? Sounds interesting! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Maestro Posted August 19, 2016 Looks like I have some tough compition. My build will be up soon enough. I feel your pain with not many blue tiles, you'll find in my build I have a little river but since I have no water tiles I have to use blue plates Xp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure your build will look awesome! Blue plates might actually look better, because they give some sort of an effect on it. But who cares, it's all for good fun anyway!

BrickCurve Posted August 19, 2016 Nice one. The main thing that I think could be improved would be for the river to be less square, removing a tile on one edge and adding it on an other would really well with that. Also, some 1 x 1 slopes would work well near the edge of the river. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soccerkid6 Posted August 20, 2016 Your terrain keeps getting better As the others suggested, stepping the river more gradually to make a curve, rather than corner, would look much more natural. Excellent fig posing for a battle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Excellent fig posing for a battle Thanks! I'll try better in the next MOC. This is mostly testing different things for my diorama, and the tips for the river definitely help!

MassEditor Posted August 22, 2016 Good to see you back Alfadas, and nice battle scene! I like how it shows the two forces just moments before they crash into one another. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LittleJohn Posted September 7, 2016 Nice battle scene Alfadas, I like the various rock formations scattered throughout The olive green grass fits wonderfully here as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
