Nice job on this trebuchet! The use of the wheel is great, and as SK said, the angled parts are really nice!

Nice job Captain! I love all of your kaliphlin architecture and those awesome patterns and designs, especially in that Rug and Roll build. Great job!

Nice micro build!

You really managed to fit a lot of nice detail and foliage into this scene, which is hard to do with smaller builds, so great job! I'm definitely getting some eastern/asian vibes from this builds, which is also really cool; it must be the tree… and the ninja mummies.

Cool counter, and nice interior! The details like the keys hanging on the wall and the fire/torches really help bring it to life.

Hah, funny idea! It kind of reminds me of those people that eat rattlesnakes… Doesn't sound to appealing to me!

Very nice counter! I really like the roman temple look that the fence piece gives, great idea there.

Nice build, I like the use of the jumper plates in the wall!

Nice job with the foliage! All of the different tree techniques look great.

Good to see you here Simon!

My vote for best road is Marcu22.

Ah, nice, I like all of those boxes used as the walls! Glad to see another chapter too - just yesterday, I was thinking we hadn't had one in a while, and then there's a new one!

Thanks guys! Thanks for the advice/criticism Gideon. It's always welcome, especially from one of my favorite builders! Haha, it's also my light cavalry uniform - the Nin-ja of the Desert King are a bit different than the classic ninja…

Thanks guys! Yeah, I tried to make it curve at the end using SNOT slopes, but it didn't work as well as I wanted it to. I meant to make it curve on the other end as well, but I got distracted with my WZ 7 build, and kind of forgot about it…

Thanks so much for the great comments guys, I really appreciate it! I had a lot of fun with this build, even if I was a bit rushed to get it in. Also, I added the 'story' to the first post.

My entry for the DK:

My entry:

EDIT: Added story The fight for Queenscross eventually spills over into the more elite part of the city, where the famed public baths lie. One of Kaliphlin's upper-class citizens, who had been enjoying a nice bath with his wife, is horrified when Desert King and High Council soldiers burst into the bath area, fighting ferociously. The Desert King's forces eventually overwhelm the small force of High Council soldiers, carrying them one step closer to securing the strategic city of Queenscross for the great Desert King. Not even the pristine waters of the baths, fed by a pure, underground hot spring, can escape the slaughter that rages through Kaliphlin. Two High Council soldiers charge at the unprotected archers, thinking they've found an easy target. They never saw it coming - one of the Desert King's elite Nin-ja, sliding silently down the roof Torgonius, veteran of the Battle of the Wither Woods, has allied with the Desert King. He leads a cohort of men sent to secure the baths. A few extra shots If I win, I nominate O17 as the next war zone.

EDIT: Added story. Along the Oil Road, the Desert King's forces encounter a group of High Council soldiers trying to hold the road. The soldiers, who appear to be fresh recruits, quickly shove their commander forward, closing their shield wall behind him. Their commander, who doesn't have much more experience than his troops, stammers as he tries to think of something either courageous or diplomatic to say to the battle hardened warriors in front of him. He takes an involuntary step back when the commander of the opposing troops steps forward. The man, who looks strangely familiar, quietly says, "I give you the choice - either surrender unconditionally, or face your death." Caught between two orders, he looks back at his soldiers. Should he hold the road at all costs as he was ordered by his superiors, or should he surrender and preserve his life, as well as the lives of his men? If I win, I pick L6 as the next WZ.

Haha, nice counter Kai! I love your take on the mirage aspect!

Hmm, this is really interesting. The fact that they have LOTR figures both in game and in real life suggests that they are retaining the license. I suppose Master_Data could be right though, and the original license has expired, but then again, maybe it hasn't? I don't know what to think of this… I'm kind of scared to start hoping, just to be crushed again…

I'm also going with Blufiji for best sand. Great job though everyone!

It's a Mirage… I hope - Guerrilla for the Desert King against Ulandus on (supposed to be) J13. If a Mod could change the title of my topic to say J13 instead of H13, that'd be great.

Thanks everyone! Yeah, I somehow messed that up. If a Mod could change the title to J13, that'd be great.

Two Ulandian Legionaries are making their way back from the front lines to carry news of the whipping they've received at the hand of the Desert King's forces. They follow a series of oasis's, the only way one can survive traveling through the vast deserts that make up much of Kaliphlin. Legionary One: It's so blasted hot in these deserts! Nothing like the paradise we've got back in Ulandus. And I'm so blasted thirsty! Blast this whole place! Legionary Two: Blast your face, you sissy! Stop complaining. I'm parched too, but you don't hear me whining about it. You were the one who forgot bring any water skins in the first place. Anyways, we should be coming up on an oasis soon, according to this map. L1: (Grumbling) ​Well, no one told me how dry and hot it was out here… (A few minutes later) Hey, what's that!? Look, it's the oasis! As the legionaries got closer, though, they could see that the oasis wasn't what they were expecting… Or at least one of them could. L1: (Running towards the oasis) Look at how sparkly the water is! Such a perfect paradise of an oasis! L2: (Staring in horror) What?! Nooooo! Stop, can't you see that it's been poisoned? You're seeing a mirage! The whole thing looks toxic! L1: What are you talking about? I'm not seeing a mirage - look at it! It's so wonderful, I'm going to jump in! (throws helmet and sword into a bush) L2: No! Don't! It might- L1: Wooooohooooooo - *Splat*
