I know I`m walking a thin line here with the base, but the regulations stated you needed to have them on the plain black bases (or none at all) the CMF`s come with, and that is what I did. Since I`ll be chanceless anyways if you see some of the entries already up, and the camera who dies on me a little more every day, I thought `what the heck` anyways. Avalonia Fishmonger Nothing beats a fresh portion of fish every day Royal Courier Swifter then by coach, but you will have to pay extra for heavy parcels Bar Lady Another one? Sanguine Elf Defend the Skywell! Mitgardia The Old School Knight Who doesn`t want to collect their sigfig? The Outdoor Cook In the rough lands of Mitgardia, every berry is a treasure The Regimental Archer Man the walls and give them hell The Beardling Not every dwarf warrior sports a 10 foot beard Nocturnus The Bouncer Because in a bar full of monsters, you need stronger arguments The Queen of Spies Dark and mysterious, she will know what you want to say before you do The Sightless These mysterious golem warriors guard the inner sanctums where secrets are kept Beauty Pageant *no comment* Kaliphlin The Shogun Royal guards protecting the temples of the eastern regions The Cartographer At the fourth dune, go left at the twelfth million grain of sand The Rice Field Worker Feeding the east for decades! The Advisor Advises royalty on all the paths best taken, even if it aren`t the best paths taken. So those are them, 16 minifigures for the avid collector to get. Every polybag comes with an in-game... oh wait, I got carried away here for a bit.

Nice series, I especially love the Sculptor and the Magister

Aye, another minor hobby of le moi

Another thing I picked up at the recent Brick Mania Antwerp colaboration I participated in, is to build an actual army to go alongside my small MoC`s. I had heavily invested in Viking minifigs for the Chapter 3 of the Guilds of Historica book 2, but it turned out the horned warriors aren`t the central players of this episode, so I have a heap of them and other suited minifigures like the Barbarian and Highlanders. But watching the battlefield over the weekend, I decided for the next time (which will be next year) to not only build bigger MoC`s (though that will be at first the Lord of the Rings set / moc hybrids you can read on my blog about, starting with Lake-Town), but also bring out the Mighty Army of Merak, the home town of my Sig-Fig Hagen. The full force will be numbering about a 150 warriors, but I`m currently still digging through my boxes to find all my torsos and legs, and combine them into the units, as well as adding standard bearers and champions to most regiments. Including a regiment a can only start building once they are actually released by Lego in 2015... Between the picture shown here and the rummaging I did yesterday, some units have already been growing in numbers, but they will be shown once I break the 100 left to do mark. I estimate I can run the number down to about 50 figs left before turning to Brick Link and spend the monthly building funds on additional parts, but in the meantime I can trade my double Collectible Minifigures around for more of the miniatures I actually need as well. To quote on of my nephews: So you quit building armies for wargaming, and the next thing you know... you`re building armies for Lego

Fantastic lightning effect, great build

Delightfully creepy!

My 100+ ones: http://tomsche69.blogspot.be/2014/11/brick-mania-antwerp-2015-picture-report.html

Errmmm errrrm, some mitgardian glass bol fortune teller`s mistake

The Brick Mania Antwerp 2015 report in more then 100 pictures!!! http://tomsche69.blogspot.be/2014/11/brick-mania-antwerp-2015-picture-report.html

My boxes are all packed up, and in about 5 hours I'm off to lend a hand in the build up

I love the photoshopped fade effect, nice storytelling and a great build

Many a poor droid will now walk undefended versus those evil Jedi Cool roofing for a great build

Great job, it feels rustic in it`s look

Thats a pretty cool build!

Neither is mine, but I took advantage of the rule that if it`s in your guild, you could choose instead of being asigned a side to up my build already

Awesome `little set` you`ve put together there, I really like it

A very good build, and it would be on my shopping list, excellent choice of figs to boot

Hello, I would like to put forward my snall MOC for indexation, the Pheseus Class Interceptor link: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=100429&hl= theme: Space Kind regards

Yesterday was perhaps one of those `geek high` days. During the morning, Telltale confirmed they would be launching their Game of Thrones game still this year. But at night time, the roof was blown of the house. Marvel announced it`s movie schedule for the coming years, including, but not limited to, Black Panther, Captain Marvel, 2 additional Avengers movies... but most importantly, the third Captain America movie: CIVIL WAR. Perhaps the best crossover storyline (bar the Secret Wars, though I don`t even think so) that the company has ever created, it puts the whole superhero community against each other, sided around either Captain America or Iron Man, as the long time friends and team mates go head to head with each other. And that is coming to the theatre`s now in 2016... Ironically, I was building my MoC, inspired about the cover of the classic series, just yesterday, before the revelation. Because I wanted to build it for a while now (ever since I put together the Hail Hydra set), and the rumours of the past weeks had been picking at my intrests more and more. So I wanted to have my version of the cover. Cap and Tony face off amongst the ruins of the battlefield, Tony firing as Cap`s shield blocks the attack. I went for the more elevated look of Iron Man, in order to build it on an 8x8 plate as a vignette, and with the blasts of his suit `leaking` around the edges of cap`s vibranium shield. The background is then put on fire as the titans clash in their epic confrontation of ideals and believes. For reference, here is the cover art I took my inspiration from:

Very nice display

If I get the time to do it; it would be plate and brick way, short legs are a rarity here and I'm for some reason always buying bricks by the hundreds and forgetting minifigs x-)

Yeah, I tracked down the pic isues I have had since ages. First generation Lumix macro setting...

I`m a bit of a fan of the whole range actually, though they usually get build and immediatly put apart again for the bricks. But they come in such excellent colours, aren`t pricey being non franchised, and have some very handy minifigs for fantasy builds. Can`t wait for one to get my hands on a few sets of the upcoming Polar Bear tribe pack :-)

Here is my entry for the Catergory A of the side of Men Catching a Spy

What is all that noise? Hagen thought as he neared the mine of Karaz Modan, somewhere in the snowy peaks of Mitgardia. Following the path way, he saw a few Yeti making anxious roars and bellows, obviously aroused by something. Now, one has to know, the Dwarfs often employ these fierce warriors to guard their snowy paths high in the mountains, as they are as fierce as any warrior, strong as oxes and very well suited to the icy climate outside. Approaching them, Hagen snapped down his visor and unsheated his sword, because when these guards where angry, something wasn`t right and even perhaps the mine entrance was under attack. Looking up, he saw the winged shape of one of the Vulture people. Vile and evil creatures, these wander the icy peaks learning all the secrets that they can and selling them to the highest bidder. Someone is very intrested in what is going on with the Dwarfs! This is my entry for the smallest category of Chapter 3 in Book 2 of the Guilds of Historica, which has now turned it`s attention to Mitgardia. However, this is also the one series of builds so far that I won`t be participating in with all 3 entries, although I had said to myself that when it came to `my` homeland, I would try and get a build in for all three categories. The problem is namely one of pure figure issues. See, the chapter is called `Dwarven Affairs` and in a very rough storyline synopsis, the Dwarfs are marching to war versus the Elves or the Drow, depending the side you choose, how they envision the pointy ears have been manipulating the bearded ones. Now, I was in my `Dark Ages` when the Fantasy line of Castle came out years ago, and as a result, I have nearly none of the antagonist minifigures. Not willing to cannibalise my displayed Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit sets for figures, this means I have a single `evil dwarf` minifigure from the CMF range, and not a single elf at all... bit hard to make entries that way. I had been expecting mostly Vikings in the chapter, but humans aren`t actually playing a lead role in this chapter. So that resulted in me picking the Side of Men, which is for the smaller category a scene where Dwarves are being spied on, the middle category comes down to humans trying to peacefully mend relations between Dwarfs and Elves, and category 3 expanding even further on this by telling a diplomatic storyline to solidify these relations... But about the build... As I said, I went for the smallest enty for the side of Men, in which the Dwarfs are being spied on. Using the fluff a bit as a tool to make something at least fitting without needing any Dwarfs in the build itself, nor Elves, through the use of allied species (Yeti`s for the Dwarfs, Vulture people for the drow) I managed to create at least something. I tried some things out in this build (with the eye of a very big project I`ll be undertaking once I completed all of the Age of Mitgardia builds, more on that once it is approaching) like the snot mining entrance, the completely frozen ground and the snowed under rockside. I hope you like it!
