Hello fellow guild-builders, so Challenge V is upon us and Cat C lets us decide of the fate of Historica as the winning entry by vote becomes official GoH lore. And as @ZCerberus has said, including other peoples characters should definitely be encouraged, not only to gain votes, but of course to give as many characters as possible an place in the new lore. At least this is definitely my plan, build as many Sig-figs of willing builders as I can, and include them in more or less important roles, with one scene including all the characters reunited. And with that in mind, I realized trying to find everybody's sig-fig, messaging everyone individually to ask if they don't mind being part of it could take a while, so I decided to make this topic so anyone who doesn't mind having their character in another persons' entry can say so, and eventually post a photo of their sig-fig to make it easier for everyone to include them. I'm going to start by saying I'd be more than happy, honored even to have my Sig-fig Finn included, even in the background, of any entries (Arms, legs and head from Lego Minifigures series 11 Barbarian, and body from Fili the dwarf; but really any bald, bearded, northern warrior will do ) So hopefully this topic will help anyone who's wanting to include others in their story, or be included, saving effort and time, to be used on building instead

**Book II Challenge V Official Announcment**
Legofin2012 replied to ZCerberus's topic in Guilds of Historica
It's fine, I probably should of asked if changing the body was a problem before, but during my cat C entry I'm planning on introducing a few new characters and will most likely take another group photo at the end again, so I'll make sure the Lord of Dragonstone is included I'm sure I'll find a suitable torso, and like I said earlier, no one was left out or ever will be for "personal" reasons, or any other reason than I didn't have the parts, but apologies again And also, @ZCerberus I know Henjin has already asked, but I too would really appreciate and benefit from a deadline extension for Cat C, as I'm rapidly running out of time already -
Book II, Challenge V, Cat B: Armored Battle Wagon
Legofin2012 replied to Legofin2012's topic in Guilds of Historica
Thank you, glad it doesn't look too rushed Thanks, I'm sure it will serve its purpose in the upcoming war against the Alliance Thank you, and that's the idea, and after seeing what the Spire is up against I'd say they need it! Thanks, yeah, the little guy's working hard to get the Spire black paint job done Thank you, the background was mostly inspired by the Orc pits from LotR Thanks, to be honest the vehicle was originally going to be a wooden medieval German WWI tank, but ended up like this Thank you, well I would say it's fun to wiz around, but I only actually found 3 wheels in time, so it's a bit wonky in reality And I guess, too many of the same colours Thanks, took a while to find something to use as a black paintbrush, but glad everyone likes him Thank you, I didn't get time to do anything over complicated, but I think it's probably best, especially if the simplicity is appreciated Thanks, the orcs and other minions do their best with what they have -
**Book II Challenge V Official Announcment**
Legofin2012 replied to ZCerberus's topic in Guilds of Historica
I'm sorry, although it wasn't just you, I couldn't get ahold of the parts for Narbilu or Merc4hire either Not for lack of trying though, it took hours to find the best bricklink store, and the one with the most parts was the most expensive, in the end I ended spending a lot more than I planned to and still not having all the parts I wanted... Although I'm pretty sure I have the head and hair for yours somewhere, but the body and legs would have to be changed as I don't have them But if your ok with having just the head and hair the same, then I have I'd happily include you in the actual story builds -
**Book II Challenge V Official Announcment**
Legofin2012 replied to ZCerberus's topic in Guilds of Historica
Yes yes, you all look just as pretty as each other Admittedly I wasn't sure on the hair, should of asked before I guess, I'll be sure to change it for next time. As for the helmet, turns out just one Pearl dark grey visor costs 8€ (about 10$), so to be honest multiples didn't really fit the budget As for the weapon and which hand he uses can all be changed in the builds Sorry about that LJ, I thought I had a falcon torso somewhere, but haven't come across it yet I'll be sure to add your sig-fig if I find one, although I guess there is a way I could "cheat" But until then Sir Glorfy will just have to represent the Snyder brothers! -
**Book II Challenge V Official Announcment**
Legofin2012 replied to ZCerberus's topic in Guilds of Historica
Well I've got a complete story written out and just finished the first build, I'll just post a sneak peak here as the first build doesn't spoil anything (A few other sig-figs already present in there though ) A warm welcome at the Grand Griffon Inn And as an added bonus I just received a long awaited parcel containing some of the parts I needed for other Sig-figs. But just first off, it's clear I couldn't include everyone, as much as I would of loved to, my collection isn't unlimited, and neither is my wallet I "prioritized" those who answered in the Challenge V sig-fig thread I started, and added a few others I needed for the story, but if you're not here, please don't be offended. There are many reasons I couldn't include everyone, and of course none of them are personal (love everyone here ) but reasons including (but not limited to): not having the necessary parts in my collection, spending hours on Bricklink and still not finding all the parts needed, the parts needed were too expensive, and so on. Even those I did include aren't perfect, although I did try to get as close as possible But anyway, the figs I could assemble to be part of my Cat C story, Lords of the Alliance: I look forward to reading everyone's entries, and seeing all the awesome builds that'll come out of them! -

The day's not over yet I wasn't plan on entering Cat B, but the Spire seemed under represented so I whipped something up quick between exam revision today Edit: And here it is, my entry for Cat B: The Spire Armored Battle Wagon -
Bk. II: Challenge V: Cat. B: Dwarven Siege Works
Legofin2012 replied to soccerkid6's topic in Guilds of Historica
Was definitely not expecting a micro build in Challenge V, but what a wonderful little build it is! The micro siege machines are fantastic, so much detail, and the base is very nice too, great work! -
Book II, Challenge V, Category B: Barqan Fire Wagon
Legofin2012 replied to Gideon's topic in Guilds of Historica
A wonderful build, so much to love about it The colours are lovely, instantly recognisable as Kaliphlin, but it's the black light shot which steals the show! Fantastic work! -
The Chronicles of Hesperia, Vol. 1, Ch. 3: The Return of the Druids
Legofin2012 replied to Henjin_Quilones's topic in Guilds of Historica
A very pretty build! Mostly due the lovely colours working well together, very Avalonian! Interesting story, and looking forward to your Cat C entry -
Book II, Chal V, Cat B: Engines of Destruction
Legofin2012 replied to MKJoshA's topic in Guilds of Historica
Appropriately busy build, makes for a believable workshop, with plenty of nice details! The two different floors work well together, gotta feel bad for the poor little guy getting whipped though But guess they aren't the bad guys for nothing, nice story too! Great work -
Guilds of Historica New Member Guide
Legofin2012 replied to SkaForHire's topic in Guilds of Historica
Going to be honest, I may just have finished photographing the build the question concerned Eventually I deci on only building an interior for the Grand Griffon, but the architecture pretty much matches what you described, so thanks for the confirmation nevertheless Might post a sneak peek in the Challenge V thread tomorrow, as the build spoils nothing of the story First of all, welcome to the Guilds! As the others have said, any faction is acceptable in any guild, I believe Falcon Knights have been used in Kaliphlin and Nocturnus before, so I'm sure a few in Avalonia would be just fine! Although I say a few, but that's an impressive army! You may not have chosen the coolest guild (being Mitgardia of course ), but best of luck in Avalonia! -
A very intimidating weapon indeed! And the landscape looks wonderfully Nocturnian too, especially the dead tree. This definitely feels under construction, and busy preparing for war, so well done portraying that. Great work!

**Book II Challenge V Official Announcment**
Legofin2012 replied to ZCerberus's topic in Guilds of Historica
Although I'm sure you've got a fantastic idea, I think maybe waiting to see how Book II will end first might be a good idea As how Book II ends is up to those who enter Cat C, no one knows yet how it's going to finish, and I think those in charge of coming up with the main storyline will decide on the future of Historica once we know what's going to happen On a side note, very nearly finished my first build for Cat C, unfortunately any Cat B build had to be comprised due to a rather tight schedule for Cat C, so I too really wouldn't mind a deadline extension -
Personally I have no problem with my character being rendered as a fleshy, and as for mixing yellows and fleshies I gene avoid it in other themes, but for GoH I feel it's justified considering the other species present in the Guilds And so far I think I can recreate everyone fairly faithfully, although I do hope a few more builders join in, it would be a shame for anyone to miss out on a character gathering
-
Great story! The build is very nice too, large landscapes can be difficult, but you manage very well, and although with no over complicated techniques still looks fantastic! I particularly like the build after the story, a clever idea to show the progress after war. The tower looks very sturdy, great work!
-
A very nice little build, the tree is particularly pretty! The path transition is a good idea, and I look forward to seeing it used on a larger scale
-
Oh wow, a truly wonderful build, there's so much to say about it! The colours all work well together, nicely complementing each other, and that fire bird is simply beautiful! I could go on but I'm sure you get the point, I love it! fantastic work! Also good job incorporating your Tourney entry in the Guilds, good luck with the Tourney by the way

AoM, Town: House Phase I A traditional Northern home, found far north in the Wolf Clan lands, here in the ever growing village of Mid-River under leadership of Clan leader Finn. The children get used to the icy cold from a young age, until they are ready to become men and true clan members. While fairly uninspired for Cat B of Challenge V (but nearly a full story-board for Cat C ), I thought why not go back to building for AoM again, as there's still plenty to build, and also a good opportunity to start building for a new village/town. I'll give more information later on but I'm hoping to locate it at the base of the mountain in the North Wolf Clan territory, between the two rivers flowing from the mountain (hence the "imaginative" name, Mid-River ), with a traditional Northern, viking-esk, architecture style. - Thanks for looking

EB Xmas Raffle 2016 - Your ideal Snow entry thread
Legofin2012 replied to CopMike's topic in LEGO Town
You seem to have received the same as me, to build the proton packs you can google instructions for Lego Ghostbusters Ecto 1 & 2 (75828), but you'll be left with four 1 x 2 modified plate clips spare, and four black ingots missing, although they're not needed to complete the packs and can easily be replaced with black 1x 2 tiles -

Legofin2012 replied to ZCerberus's topic in Guilds of Historica
Okay, thanks Gideon, that's what I thought, I was just wondering if leaving the fate of Historica up to war would mess with any future Book plans, or if it was entirely up to us, but hopefully my story should be fine -
[Mid-River] Northern Clan Homestead
Legofin2012 replied to Legofin2012's topic in Guilds of Historica
Well I think the biggest it works on is probably 32 studs wide, although I'll have to try it on a large scale build one day when in ready for them kinda builds And thank you Thank you, the roof was definitely the main focus on this build, as for the door I guess we can just say Clans-people have better things to with their time than painting their doors Well (hopefully) there should be plenty more coming, although probably after Challenge V is over Thank you Thanks SK, well I look forward to seeing your interpretation Thank you, smoke is definitely difficult to build, I some feel like this technique is maybe a bit cartoon-y, but I'm yet to find a better way of doing it, and this scene was very much built just to represent average everyday life in the northern Clan lands Well thank you, I'm glad you think so -
Nice little build, it's cool to see a small kinda collab, and I look forward to more The rock work is nicely done, just enough snot parts to look interesting, and all the different greens give a very Avalonian feel! Not too sure about the bush, but that aside great work here!
-
Wonderful little build It's nice to see just a man on a walk, no fight, or challenges to overcome, still enjoying the peace in Avalonia (for now ) The stream is a nice addition, and the little blue flowers add a nice touch of calming colour, the trees are very nicely done too! Really nothing "negative" to say about this, great work!

EB Xmas Raffle 2016 - Your ideal Snow entry thread
Legofin2012 replied to CopMike's topic in LEGO Town
Not quite, it was to do with the proton packs, I believe there should have been 4 "plates, modified 1 x 2 with clip on top" and 8 black ingots, but instead I received 8 modified clip plates and 4 black ingots, so I'm just assuing someone else received 12 black ingots meaning they won't be able to build the proton packs without the clips, whereas I was still able to. This seems like an easy mistake considering the amount you had to do, and I'm sure whoever received 12 black ingots is fine with it as they're rather cool parts But I'm more than happy with what I got, even without the parts for the proton packs, the minifigs are still amazing, and I'm very grateful for the extra bit of Christmas Magic you bring every year (And to be honest I'll probably keep the figs intact, but use the proton pack parts for future builds anyway )
