narbilu Posted August 20, 2018 (edited) Khaor guard tower Briefly after the successes of the Khaor family in Kashgar, the usual suspects came lurking around the corner. Thieves, smugglers and even murderers. The Khaor hired a group of soldiers to insure their personal safety. In the midst of town a high tower oversees the traffic and guards the business and the family of Khaor. The personal guard of the Khaor distinguish themselves by the high quality dragon scale armor and their versatile range of weaponry they carry. Led by commander and chief Yorth, these guards are top of the bill.

Henjin_Quilones Posted August 20, 2018 I like how this tower matches the style of the leather workshop. They look great together in the WIP. I do question how effective having the guards on the other side of a canal is, unless there is a bridge still to come to allow the troops to cross quickly to defend the Khaors. The arrowslit looks great, and the various architectural details up top are nice too. My comment on the leather workshop about angle of photography applies here, too. I don't like looking down on LEGO builds like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garmadon Posted August 20, 2018 Nicely done! I'm liking your Varlyrian style here, and the inclusion of interiors all the way up makes me happy as well I do agree with HQ on the photos' angle, though - as a general rule, shooting from the ground level, or possibly somewhere between there and the middle, works the best aesthetically, I find.

mccoyed Posted August 20, 2018 Great tower. Wish I had more of those "dark flesh" bricks myself! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrcp6d Posted August 21, 2018 Very nice architecture and detailing--particularly, I like the tile floors that you're incorporating in this series. If I could complain about the presentation for a moment though.... I feel like some illusion of water would make quite an improvement, even if it's the silly pile o' trans-blue 1x1s.

soccerkid6 Posted August 22, 2018 Lovely pattern at the corners The architecture looks very elegant which fits well for Varlyrio I do wonder if it might look better to have the first story have more substantial walls or pillar setup. The open arched look is neat, but makes the tower look a bit top heavy with the mostly solid second and third levels. Great to see you fitting interiors in, and I always enjoy seeing owls or other birds added - especially for Varlyrio where I imagine there would be lots of pigeons, gulls, and the like.

Gideon Posted August 22, 2018 Probably the best of your Varlyrian builds so far, I love the shape of the building and the color use Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grover Posted August 24, 2018 Another nice, clean Varlyrian build. It looks like it could be an official Lego set with the way it is made. I really like how the sets go together. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spader Posted August 24, 2018 The bottom feels a touch plain, but the stonework on floors 2 & 3 is very satisfying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZlatanXVIGustaf Posted August 26, 2018 Very nice looking tower and cool figs! I like that you made it so that you can put all the mocs together. The water is too busy for my liking though, some tiles on that would make it better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TitusV Posted August 26, 2018 A sweet build for sure! Loving the d m flesh-and-l bley combo! I'm looking forward to seeing that city completed (though to be honest, I feel like the build is better presented on a black border) Lastly: thumbups for showing the backside and, more important, adding interiors Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
x105Black Posted August 28, 2018 This is an interesting design for a tower. The open ground level is really cool. I also like all of the minifigures on display here. The jail cell is nice, and quite fitting. Nice job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
