This is amazing. Absolutely fantastic job accurately recreating the details of such a weapon.

Keep an eye out on Bricklink. I watched daily for 3 weeks for a set to pop up in the US that wasn't overpriced. I ended up paying $265 shipped. Which is about what you'd probably pay from Lego anyways, after adding on tax and shipping.

I love your nuts! I wish I had the patience to digitally build stuff on this scale.....I always start, and before I get anywhere, I get frustrated, and give up

The Black Wolf Company would support the Terraversans in their efforts to secede and join the free peoples of the Sea Rats. Our newest troops are almost done training, and would relish in the thought of battle so soon. Nice simple MOC. Love the printing press design, and the fancy chair. Well done!

Thank you for these. Helped out greatly!

22 May 620AE Location: The Rock After many months at sea, Commander Corwin Ragnarrson of the Black Wolf Company has landed on The Rock in the the Prio Sea. Taking advantage of the caves and tunnels that litter the island, the group has offloaded and stashed their supplies and chests of coin away from prying eyes, until suitable lodging can be sourced. A scouting mission revealed a small town to the north situated on a tiny island (Sereen Cay), which is where they are headed next. (Just a wee little build to kick off my BoBS journey. Took a break from my other builds to throw this together and start to set the narrative for the future plans). A Brief History of Corwin Ragnarrson and the Black Wolf: Little is known of these new arrivals, other than they hail from far shores across the Great Northern Sea, from the land of Vikendia. Stories tell the Vikendi were a great nation of warriors, raiders, and explorers in centuries past. However, since the fall of the Great Empire, the Vikendi were rarely were seen through the rest of Halos, short of a few traders, adventurers, and wanderers. The Black Wolf name is taken from the Amarok (Wolf) tribe of Vikendi to whom many expedition members belong. The Amarok worship the giant wolf god Fenris, who legend tells, led the ancestors of the Amarok out of the barren icy plains of Vikendia, to a small fertile penninsula, which they still occupy to this day. Officlal Black Wolf Expeditionary Group flag. Design may vary between military and civilian uses. Colors are black and yellow. Commander Corwin Ragnarrson is a man shrouded in mystery. Even his own men know only bits and pieces of his story. It is known he is of mixed Vikendi and Olean blood. His father, Ragnar, was a Vikendi trader who traveled to Eastern Halos. His mother Patricia, was the daughter of a prominent Olean Navy Captain. They fell in love, eloped to the countryside and not long after Corwin was born. When he was a young boy, both his parents died, and while he never speaks on it, many have concluded their deaths were at the hands of agents of the Order of The Faith, as Ragnarrson possesses a deep hatred of those who practice The Faith, and anyone who supports tyrannical Monarchies. After his parents death, young Corwin escaped to Corrington, where he was taken in by a compassionate merchant, and raised and received an education. As a young man, Ragnarrson one day disappeared from Corrington, and spent the next years wandering Halos before finally returning to Vikendia, and the Amarok. Now, years later, he has returned south again, to stake a claim for the Amarok in the new world....and possibly settle some old scores.

Thanks. I kind of just stumbled upon it looking for a wolf logo. Worked out great too, since there are custom decals and such readily available..

@Bodi do you have any detailed pics of how you designed your stern area on this ship? I particularly like how it only moderately flares out, in comparison to some of the more ornate and elaborate designs. I'm currently building a frigate, and want a similarly simple stern area. I've just been having trouble figuring out how to go about building it. Thanks in advance!

Love the micro scale ships! And the story as well. I wanted to build something similar for the category, but quickly realized I have almost none of the parts needed for micro builds lol.

This should be our Faction moto

Yes, I was definitely trying to match his style from his first build. For one, its classic pirates combination that will never go out of style. Also, I happen to have a good amount of white and yellow bricks, so it makes building in that style fairly easy. Thank you sir! Excited to see what you have planned! I need to complete my first month cycle, so I have some doubloons at my disposal to begin licensing future builds. Currently prototyping a few ideas to see what I want to build next as well.

Despite being only a humble "hamlet" on paper, New Nassau is a bustling place. As the easternmost port under Sea Rat control, it is the gateway to El Oleonda and the rest of the unknown eastern isles. While sea trade is currently limited to only a few companies and properties, New Nassau is rich in inter-island trading, with both residents and the natives of the island setting up small bartering stalls throughout the town. With the Black Wolf Company's recent arrival and setting up their first shop, they have since expanded the docks to accommodate their needs. Preparing for departure, the Nymeria is loaded full of weapons to sell at other Sea Rat ports. The crew load up the goods, while Captain Barlowe confirms the manifest is correct one last time. ] The Black Wolf Company put out an advertisement in search of any able body Sea Rat wanting to earn a steady wage. With the expansion of the company in Terra Nova, more manpower is needed in the form of soldiers, sailors, and workers. Extra motivation was provided in the form of a Sea Rat's favorite meal....rum Freya Torstein and Clarice Barlowe embrace one last time before the Nymeria's departure, while two Black Wolf officers transport a chest off the docks. While his sailing days are long over, Captain Ironhook is content to spend the rest of his days in rum-fueled bliss absorbing the sights and sounds of the docks. Unlike many islands in Terra Nova, the Sea Rats have a strong relationship with the Natives of Isla de Barro. The locals trade modern Halosian goods and weapons to the natives for fruit, animals, and other products from interior of the island. Two canoes are arriving at the docks, laden with supplies to be bartered. This is just the start of a period of renewed rebirth and growth for New Nassau. Be on the lookout in coming months for more additions to the town! I originally planned on including some of this setup in Lock, Stock, and One Smoking Barrels, but since it is now licensed as a small commerce, I was limited on space for that build. In addition, I was working on a "recruitment" build, but figured this expanded dock scene could serve both purposes perfectly. I wish I had a good collection of gray round tiles to make stonework a bit more realistic, but unfortunately, its still on my "wanted" list of bricks to buy, along with a bunch of longer brown tiles to imitate wood planks. Slowly working on expanding my collection of these pieces to help with more realistic builds in the future.

Awesome concept, on something that would often be overlooked in favor of more exciting topics to build. Love the transitions from clearing the road to laying down the paving stones.

I love the scene depiction of blasting through the wall, very well done! And the Lotii houses are simplistically perfect. Well done.

quick update, the official Black Wolf Company flags have arrived. You'll be able to catch various versions of the Black Wolf insignia on all company property and ships in the future

29 May 620AE Ragnarrson and the Black Wolf Company have made their way to New Nassau, and established their first property on the island. Welcome to Flintlock, Stock, and One Smoking Barrel. A one-stop-shop for any Sea Rat's weapons needs. Muskets, pistols, cutlasses, black powder, hatchets, irons....you name it, we have it. No shirt, no shoes, no eye? No problem! We serve any scoundrel who walks through our doors. Doubloons, gems, and all other forms of booty accepted as payment A 16x16 free build to be licensed as a small commerce property in New Nassau.

I absolutely love your architecture design on the temple. You nailed the look of the structure starting to deteriorate, but not to the point they are considered ruins. And the Totenköpfe uniforms are fantastic.

I don't mind the non-tiled surfaces, as I thoroughly enjoy building more classic designs, but I've been playing around with some techniques in LDD that I'd love to add to future builds once I purchase the tiles needed. I'm just about done with the purchasing all of my "army building" pieces....there will be matching uniforms all around. Pretty excited at how some of the units are coming out. After training, they should be able to hold their own against any of their Imperial contemporaries. Thanks! Hoping I can get more licensed properties soon too, and hopefully attract other builders as well. As its our easternmost port, its the doorway to the newer regions of the map.

Yes. Modded for an extra cannon on each side, as well as redesigned the fore deck area to be a bit larger.

That would be a great accessory for the Pirate theme. Would be cool if Brick Arms or one of the other 3rd party companies made it too. Thanks! Capt. Ironhook's pirating days may be in the past, but he's still living the life....

Thank you! I was aiming to match it to the fort and other structures in your New Nassau build. I love the classic white/yellow color scheme. My other builds coming will probably follow suit. The Black Wolf prides itself in setting itself apart from other Sea Rats, by having some semblance of order and tidiness (but not at the cost of personal freedom). Finding the right balance for details in such a small space though was definitely a challenge. Took a few tries. I went with One Smoking Barrel, as in the movie the gun of name was a double-barrel shotgun....with muskets being the primary firearm of use, I figured it would be more fitting to change it to match. And yes, its a great movie. I'm a bit proud of myself I thought to use a play on its title for my build.

The set came in a day early, and I just couldn't resist getting right into it. I underestimated how large the set is with the island and everything. And the construction of the ship is beautiful. Rebuilt my original one yesterday in anticipation, so I can have them side by side.

I bought a few "damaged" ones for 0.03 cents each, so by cutting them shorter, I actually got rid of the bite marks on them lol. That's the main reason I didn't care about cutting them down.

May 620AE El Oleonda The Black Wolf Company has sent one of its Elite "Black Fang" Ranger Units to El Oleonda, heeding Carno's call for mercenary soldiers to assist in the battle on the island. Arriving on the island, the Rangers pressed inland and have been hunting down a group of Lotii soldiers. The Lotii leader writes his commander telling of the situation before making his final stand with his remaining men. Most Honorable Daimyo, I regret to inform you of the imminent failure of my mission. My unit had made excellent progress pressing towards the infernal Carnite settlement Neuburg, until we were set upon by mercenary soldiers, the likes of which we had never seen. These soldiers are far removed from the Carnite and other Imperial forces we usually encounter. They are seasoned trackers and woodsmen, and have been pursuing us for 3 days now, despite our best efforts to evade them in the jungles. They avoid direct engagements with our larger force, preferring irregular and indirect assaults. I have lost too many men to their traps and ambushes they have set, that I can not press on any longer. We have tried returning to Jiangkai, but lest we give away its location to these devils, we have decided to stand and fight. In order to bring honor to my family and the Kingdom of the Lotus, I will die by the sword....either my enemy's or my own. For the glory of the Empire! - Saito Noshimuri Black Fang Rangers The last stand Here are a couple photos with the palm trees removed to see the build details a bit better. This was a super fun build overall. I was stumped the last 3 days trying to figure out what to build for this category. Sat down tonight and I don't know what clicked, but I just started building, and this was the result. Been a hot minute since I've done any terrain builds like this, and I forgot how much I enjoy it. C&C welcome, as always.
