robuko Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 (edited) WZ13 build The High Council's moving fortresses were strong, but they were heavy and slow. And made of highly flammable wood, in an arid desert where oil oozed from the ground. The Desert King's fire archers enjoyed the target practice, they just wished it could be more challenging. And last longer. They all went off for soju and karaoke afterwards. Edit: I wasn't very happy with the composition so I have remixed it a little. If I was Ulandian, I would no doubt change the story, lighting, build and target square post deadline but we DK suppporters have honour. Here is my preferred image, which I think has better perspective and composition. Edited April 28, 2015 by robuko Quote
LittleJohn Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Great entry, robuko! I really like that sand The fortress seems to resemble mine Quote
robuko Posted April 27, 2015 Author Posted April 27, 2015 Thanks LJ, yes it is based on your design. My reasoning was, Aymeri is the lord of Katoren, I thought that chibi design would look good in micro, and more importantly it didn't need any micro animals Imitation is flattery. I built it too tall though, it looks good on its own but it's too tall for the landscape. This build looks really different to the human eye compared to a camera, so I learned quite a bit from it.

Jacob Nion Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Great idea to use the microfigs. This makes the proportions very stunning. And I really like the sphinxes in the backround. Quote
Captain Dee Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 This is a very good micro build. The terrain and especially the pyramids are wonderful. Yet another fiery scene...!! Quote
Balbo Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Very nice work! I love how you made the Sphinx Quote
mrcp6d Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Man, you are all in with the micro for this challenge aren't you? This is yet another solid one too! Quote
robuko Posted April 28, 2015 Author Posted April 28, 2015 Thanks guys, I have to give credit to LordDan for the micro idea, and I tried to apply Captain Braunsfeld's sandscaping techniques, with limited success here. This was a hard challenge to get on the baseplate restriction, so micro seemed like the easy way out Quote
soccerkid6 Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 Wonderful build robuko! Love the micro scale temples in the back Quote
