Hammerhand

Thank you Torgar! (BTW, for those who didn't seen it, I just posted an update on page 2 yesterday, it just got buried with page 3)

Thanks Scaevola. I'm trying to figure out how to add some more color to make it more interesting, without making it too cartoonish, if you know what I mean. My dark and sand green brick supply is fairly limited unfortunately (seems I need to go shopping), so I might try adding some other colors, such as blue and white, which is my sig figs personal heraldry.

Thanks guys. I'm working on an idea for Cat. B, but I don't have anything down in brick yet. @Carson, yeah, I probably should have fattened the floor up a bit.

Don't worry, I know which is really the best guild...

I spy flounder there... Another nice installation in the series! Is the green lady in the background one of medusa's clones?

Superb. The shaping and design of this is just beautiful. Everything about this build looks amazing. I really like your swamp plant designs, and the boardwalk. The dark red building, and the various details, arches, and decorations on the walls just make this keep so sweet. I tell you, if moving to Nocturnus could make me build like this, I'd almost want to mover there... Almost. But not quite.

Thanks Gabe! Here's a "teaser" pic... Ok, so it's not really a teaser, since it shows the whole thing, and I'm mostly done, but oh well.

Where is it that we're supposed to post the link to our Challenge II entries?

Here's my Cat. A entry. Sir Brychan Cedry entered the plain chamber of his old friend, Peredur, a highly regarded member in the secretive group know as the Black Guardians. The Black Guardians have been in Avalonia longer than anyone knows, save maybe the elves. They keep to themselves, maintaining a fortress in the mountains near the Mitgardian border, though Brychan managed to gain their help in securing the lands of Ferinwald, and befriended Peredur. Sir Brychan: Peredur, old friend, it's been to long. I hope all has been well with you. You say you have important news regarding the Drow? Peredur: Yes indeed. I will not waste time nor words. I have acquired knowledge that the Drow are planning an attack in Ferinwald before the next new moon. Sir Brychan: The Drow have been raiding our lands for months, this is not new news. We have been working to rid our lands of them. Peredur: These raids, as you call them, are merely the Drow testing us. They are locating our strongholds, so that they will be able to strike us hard and quick when they launch a full-out attack. They have formed alliances with various Orc and Uruk tribes, and have ammassed an army far larger than our own. I have sent messengers to those of my brotherhood in other lands, but we number only a little compared to the forces of the Drow. Sir Brychan: How have you learned of these things? Peredur: We... have our methods. The important thing is that we know of this attack, and are ready for and assault by the Drow! Sir Brychan: Yes, we must be prepared. I will alert the Lords Simon and de Gothia of this, and shall begin strengthening our fortifications, old and new, at once! Overall shot: "We have our methods": I decided to use Yazneg from attack of the wargs as a Drow, rather than just a black head. I think he looks like he could be of a different lighter skinned race of Drow, so I'm using him and others as more of a lesser race of Drow that serve as messengers etc.. Edit: I just realized that I forgot to put Team Simon in the title... Erg.

Cool entry Emma! Very scary with the smiling wizard, totally fits the creepy Nocturnus vibe. Are those custom sails? I always like seeing those.

Thank you Garmadon, Thomas, and ME. If I'm able to finish my Challenge II Cat. A entry today, I might be able to get updated pictures of my ship as well.

This is so cool. Very nice job Z! The wall texture and the mosaic really make this build. Can't wait for more!

Probably because you Nocturnians aren't confident in showing what's under the tights.

I've had basically no brick time lately. I'm starting to wonder if I'm even going to be able to get anything in for Challenge II. I should be posting the final version of my GNAR entry soon though, maybe over the weekend if I can. Life in the month of May, so complicated.

Darn it Gabe, stop posting such sweet ships! You're leaving very little chance for the rest of us here. In all seriousness, totally awesome ship. The curve of the tail pieces is superb, and the overall shape is very nice. The cabin is really cool too. I'm curious how you got the emblem on the sails? Is that paper? Because it looks very sail like. But seriously, stop posting ships. I mean it.

I agree that perhaps it could use a few more bricks in between the tunnel and ground, but this build still looks really cool. The little bit of ruins/man-made stone work around the rocks works really well, it gives it a feel of being an old forgotten entrance to the tunnels. And I love those new circle pieces with the hole used as part of the stone path, they fit perfectly there. I'm going to have to get some of those to use.

Cool drueggar, and nice idea with the entrance in the tree. And I like how the tunnel looks, it definitely feels dwarven. Nice job!

I'm liking how that Cat. C wip is looking. And it's cool how you made all of the builds as part of the storyline for defending Hemresa.

Cool scene! I like the dice pieces on the floor, and the wings, they work really well. And nice job on the egyptian statues of the dog/person (can't remember the actual name), that was a cool detail to add, and it looks perfect.

That's a really cool idea, looks great! I love how it's made out of "stone", which is perfectly fitting for a dwarven war machine.

Wow, very nice! The rock work is awesome, I love the mix of snot, studs up, and angled rocks. And very impressive battle and minifig posing!

Awesome idea! Looks quite dangerous (for enemies as well as operators). The whole design is very clever, sweet job.

Interesting ship design, and nice job with the water. The big wave over the edge with the little drop of water on the ground made me laugh, cool idea.

Nice to see a build using the old viking pieces! The frozen moat is a nice touch. Nice job!

Looks like I'm not going to be able to get a field piece in for the deadline. I have it built but I'm not getting home till late tonight so I can't photograph it. I'm not to late to post my semi-sig fig and soldiers though am I?
