  1. Been ages since I posted something here, but this one just had to be added.

    I never thought this day would come. I really thought 2020 would take this from me, but jokes on it! My last order got in on December 24th!

     

    So, let's get this one started!

    dsc01764.jpg

    Back in 2013, I made this bad boy. It's the Dwarven "Fury" Siege Tank for my dwarf army. Well, I kept it for a long time. I always had plans to revisit this MOC because, well... it really sucks. I mean, it's open top, the mechanics are really bad, and overall never quite matched my ideal siege tank. So, I decided to go back to my initial inspiration:

    s-l400.jpg

    Grabbing this picture and a better idea of how to proceed, I darted off to Stud.io, and slaved away to bring you...

    50772383446_d446f52963_z.jpg

    The Dwarven "Fury" Siege Tank 2.0
    Bigger, badder, and just overall more pleasing to me, I'm quite proud of this one.

    Compared to 1.0, this version features a much better system for fuel generation. It's easily accessible, and allows for additional tools to be stored. The only downside, as with all of the dwarven artillery, the tank has its inherent flaws. While refueling is easy, it also creates a HUGE weak spot to be exploited.

    Correct faction colors have also been added! The army of Faermoore is dark red and red, not blue and gold. Though the cannon is smaller, the overall turret is just a massive upgrade. I even added a spyglass and a cloth roll for a little bit of details. A hatch was also added for easy access.

    The front is no longer a terrible ram, but rather a sloped, spiked, front plate. The grills are windows, allowing the driver to see outside. As for the two red 1x3 plates, let's just say some decals are intended to go there.

    50772383391_40d01d7423_z.jpg

    OH! And MOC'ing features have also been added! Steam can come from the steam tank and the cannon can actually be shown shooting. Additionally, trans-clear pieces can be added to show ammo flying across the field. So that's another bonus!

    50772499732_2f05b89f85_z.jpg

    Following my earlier system of 3-5-7 (three heavy, five medium, and seven light), three of these tanks were made to further the war effort.
    And that's all for now! Just happy to have crossed this off of my "To-Do" List for 2020.

    Hope you all enjoyed!

    As always,
    C&C is welcome and appreciated!

  2. The Kingdom of Faermoore is proud to present the latest edition in dwarf artillery. May I present to you:

    The Faermoore Organ Gun!

    40085404970_fd52382e50_z.jpg

    Huge inspiration on the barrel design from DwalinF and his amazing organ gun:

    https://dwalinf.deviantart.com/art/LEGO-Dwarf-organ-gun-644819679

    Now with that out of the way, I really like how this gun turned out. With the way it is currently designed, its wheels can roll and the two center barrels can be adjusted. 

    41849689092_2817b37c15_z.jpg

    When designing the support frame, I wanted to make it nice and sturdy and give it a war feel. Additional armor with some pearl, gold, 1x1, round plates really helped add some meat to it. To top it off, gold harpoons were also added, even if they virtually have no purpose. Still looks pretty cool to me!

    41849689002_2d75331848_z.jpg

    In order to make the gun slightly more ornate, I went ahead and added gold wings to the side. Again, no real purpose, just aesthetics. The wheels were pretty simple to make as well. I worked through multiple designs, but settled on this. In the end, it got the job done and still looks pretty good.

    41892563571_4b0ca53255_z.jpg

    Just a view of the back, not really much to see here!

    41849688912_9679cef97d_z.jpg

    Here's the more interesting part about the frame. It's roughly split into 7 different sections: 2 wheels, 2 supports, 2 armor panels, and 1 set of spikes. They are all mounted on a Technic 8 Axle. If you look closely, you'll notice small gaps between each part. This allowed me to move the two supports around (which is where the gun is mounted) to fit the design of the organ gun. This method was pretty cheap, and didn't require any sacrifice of design. The only thing I had to worry about was making everything fit comfortably!

    41849688802_bc41f38950_z.jpg

    Still love DwalinF's barrel design. Honestly, its the fish part that does it for me. Awesome parts usage!

    41849688672_f9d8be81ef_z.jpg

    As with all artillery...

    Why have one?

    When I can make seven...

    Hope you enjoyed the MOC.

  3. Long ago, I created something that you might remember:

    dsc01612.jpg

    The Dwarven "Big Boomer" Cannon

    I love this little thing... but... it has some issues...

    It's way too small.

    The cannon lacks the ability to adjust elevation.

    Doesn't have a, "war-like," feel to it.

    I could go on about what I dislike about it...

    So I destroyed it!

    And made way for...

    39471239270_d8ff5a76af_z.jpg

    The Dwarven "Big Boomer" Cannon v2.0

    39471240230_d56e24f02f_z.jpg

    First off, a heavy duty ram was added to the front. Sure, this thing isn't ramming anything by itself, but it is a cool addition.

    39471241670_5d8dfd1081_z.jpg

    To add to its overall MOC value, and make it more war-like, I added wheel spikes and the ability for the cannon to angle its shot.

    39471242960_f6c9d1bb49_z.jpg

    Flag colors were also adjusted to represent the Army of Faermoore. The cannon itself remains mostly the same.

    The Big Boomer... BOOMING!!! Using a red, bush piece for the firing action.

    Recent MOC usage for firing.

    39471245990_50b3162fd4_z.jpg

    And why make one? When you can make five!

    Overall, I'm quite content with what I came up with. Let me know what you think!

  4. Knight's Valor

    39954117695_0d9fe0a501_z.jpg

    The elite arm of Hislith, number one ranked guild, and the most honorable knights of the west. The Black Lance has nothing on these knights. Armed with silver weapons and armor that have been enchanted by the Lenarian Elementalists, these knights are sturdy and the strongest knights of Hislith. Along with protecting their kingdom, they have also been charged with hunting the werewolves, which stand against Wolf Queen Mav's pack. Leading them is none other than Lord Edorin Gwyn, the Champion of Hislith, and High Commander of the Hislithian army.

    Update
     
    The walls are basically finished. I need to add to the top of the walls and add some towers in. I might set up a couple of things on the inside, but haven't decided what to add yet. First off, I need to get those corners plates.
     
    Let me know what you think!
