MassEditor Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 Meh'nak looked at the forces arrayed before the old fort. Lord Anfauglir of Nocturnus had promised to assist the Desert King in his campaign, but it was to Meh'nak's surprise when an entire company of soldiers arrived at the secret rendezvous point on Ulandus' northern shore. Furthermore, Anfauglir had also dispatched a squad of elite heavy infantrymen, the Scourge of Nocturnus as the unit was known. Ulandus had not anticipated an amphibious operation and had not detected the growing concentration of Desert King troops. In just a few days the soldiers had managed to transform the dilapidated fort into a secure center of operations - which the soldiers nicknamed Fort Pain. From here the Desert King could launch raids directly into the Ulandian heartland. The Scourge of Nocturnus is a crack unit under Lord Anfauglir's command. Its members are considered some of the most fearsome warriors in all of Nocturnus, and have never been known to back down from a fight. In fact, to reinforce its commitment to assisting the Desert King, Anfauglir's soldiers dismantled their transport ship and used the parts to rebuild the old fort. Anfauglir's troops prepare to raid Ulandian lands. Although Lord Anfauglir is not present to help lead his troops, they are under the command of some of his best officers. ------------------------------------------- Hello! Another GA for the Desert King! I wasn't able to use my standard photo setup so forgive the somewhat crappy quality of the photos. I'm gonna try to get a better one before the night's up. Anyways, I've been wanting to get Anfauglir into the Civil War somehow, but since he's currently visiting Shadowmere, I thought I'd send a group to represent his command. So, thanks for looking, feedback always welcomed! Quote
LordDan Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 Stunning work once again Mass! I really love how the fort is build into the rocks! Quote
LittleJohn Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 Wow. Amazing use of color and the way you built it into the mountain is incredible! Glad I don't have to counter this Quote
Yzalirk Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 Awesome entry, MassEditor! You're builds also amaze me and I can't wait to see what else you build. Quote
Blufiji Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) Impressive as always! That's gonna be hard to counter. Edited April 5, 2015 by blufiji Quote
Umbra-Manis Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 Impossible to counter this will be! I love the fort. Quote
Jacob Nion Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 This is massive! I'm glad Lord Anfauglir sends additional troops. I feel so odd when you are talking about 'bad' pictures and they turn out to have a quality I would be totally pleased by. You can tell from my (not) tremors that I struggle photographing dios of this size. But enough of that! Your fort is stunning placed nearby this massive rock. I also enjoy the pier. It really looks like something and shows that a quay can be more than simply a plate on round studs. Quote
Brick Man Studios Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 :wub: :wub: :wub: ... Its just Amazing ! Love the rock, love the beach, love all of this creation Quote
Lord Vladivus Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 (edited) Awesome Mass! Beautiful colours! Great to see True Nocturnus helping the True King of Kaliphlin! Edited April 6, 2015 by Lord Vladivus Quote
Balbo Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 Amazing :wub: I love the colour scheme and all the details! The rockwork and the beach are great, too. Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 A very impressive entry in every way - water/fortress/army, etc. Quote
Kai NRG Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 Well, someone's been a bit busy! A fantastic build, the colors are just brilliant, great work with the slope down to the water, and the spikes on the fort are great! Quote
MassEditor Posted April 6, 2015 Author Posted April 6, 2015 (edited) Thanks everyone, glad you enjoyed it! This is massive! I'm glad Lord Anfauglir sends additional troops. I feel so odd when you are talking about 'bad' pictures and they turn out to have a quality I would be totally pleased by. You can tell from my (not) tremors that I struggle photographing dios of this size. But enough of that! Your fort is stunning placed nearby this massive rock. I also enjoy the pier. It really looks like something and shows that a quay can be more than simply a plate on round studs. Thanks Jacob! I'm glad you liked the photos, guess I might be a little hard on myself, but I had some issues lighting this thing as I wanted. Fortunately, GoH has driven me to not just build better, but to put a greater emphasis on photography too. The problem is, I don't have internet at my home or a computer, so I have to take photos at home, drive to my business to upload them only to realize the photos didn't turn out, so then I drive back home, take more photos, and drive back to work... It can get frustrating and sometimes I feel as if the hassle is making me too complacent! Edited April 6, 2015 by MassEditor Quote
Adair Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 Agree with Jacob. Amazing fort, and agree with LittleJohn on this as well! Quote
soccerkid6 Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Simply magnificent, per usual. The wooden fort looks amazing, the bridge leading off the build is a brilliant touch Lovely color use in the landscape as well Quote
MassEditor Posted April 9, 2015 Author Posted April 9, 2015 Thanks Adair and SK! I also thought the dark green/tan/dark bley worked well for the landscaping. Quote
Garmadon Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 Fantastic build MassEditor, brilliant use of colors and great job with the fort and mountain! Excellent job with the layered sand near the water as well, this one is certainly going to be hard to counter! My only minor nitpick would be the trans-blue studs on the sides, which look a little odd when they are in piles like that - I think either spreading them out more or omitting them would have helped Quote
marcu22 Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 (edited) Countered! Link: http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=108104 Edit: Nice fort by the way, hard to counter! Maybe I have a chance... Edited April 10, 2015 by marcu22 Quote
Graham Gidman Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Wow, what a build! Great photography, too! Quote
Garmadon Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) Countered again! Edited April 20, 2015 by Garmadon Quote
Captain Dee Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 This was posted the day before I joined up, but being a long-time lurker I don't know how I missed it. It's an excellent composition all around. The various trees, rocks, sand, water and of course the brilliant fort integrated into the mountainside all look very good. The pier/dock on the right is very nice as well and the overall use of color is quite artistic. Excellent build! Quote
MassEditor Posted April 22, 2015 Author Posted April 22, 2015 Thanks again guys! I guess I'll take it as a compliment that I have to face two counters against this build. Quote
