Strong counter and I like the ballista.

Nice counter and the wall looks great.

Thanks SK!

"Uhh, hmm. Everyone, keep your eyes open, we've got company!" Mhinak readies his Hand Cannon.

I like the aqueduct and the foliage around it, Garmadon!

Thanks blufiji and I'm hoping it is! Thank you CW! The window is from an old Harry Potter set, which used yellow minifigs and not fleshies. I forget the actual set name though. Thank you LV and I'm really going to try to put myself out there for this challenge. It's the Kaliphlin touch!

Thank you! Thanks! I agree I could do a bit better with water next time but to be fair, this has really been my first attempt trying to make water in a build. Thanks LV! I completely agree with you there! Thanks! I wanted to add some depth to it a bit by adding black plates in the "front" and dark tan plates "behind" the black plates and use the tan plates around it.

And here is my entry. The Dwarves

Dwarf Faction by The Goliath, on Flickr The Dwarves of Ulandus have since been recently called upon by the First Centurion to help fight against the Desert King and the High Council forces. These Dwarves are loyal to the First Centurion and will do whatever it takes to win. They are fierce warriors who forge their own weapons and armor. They fight to uphold Dwarven equality and unite their kin from across the lands but also in the name of the First Centurion who has actually given the Dwarves the respect they've never really received. They demand justice to their kin and for Ulandus to become recognized after all the years of neglect and punishment the Desert King gave them... when he was actually a "Human". There are many Dwarves who fight in this legion, all from different regions of Historica. So far, little is known about them other than they are the newly established army. It is also worth mentioning that not all of them are warriors. Well, yes, they are but there are also field engineers who can fix things and build things. They are typically known for their craftsmanship you see that are typically referred to as aqueducts and oil rigs and refineries. Here are some additional pictures.

Thank you Garmadon! Thank you LJ, glad you like it.

Thanks Adair! If I could go back, I would have definitely added more to the room but then again, it's like a office room so I didn't want to go crazy with decor. Thank you gedren! I manged to find that window piece in my collection and I figured it would look nice in the build and I'm glad it payed off.

Here is my counter guerrilla for LordDan's Recruiting Allies guerrilla: Dwarven Diplomacy

Thank you! I was also wondering where I would post it as well. I'll go post it now.

Awesome build and I like the forced perspective you gave it. The colors are also very nice to, which gives it a late afternoon sort of feel.

This counter guerrilla is in response to LordDan's Recruiting Allies guerrilla. The Dwarves who fight for Ulandus have recently learned about the traitorous act the Southern Dwarves have enacted to, which was accepting the bribe to fight in the name of the Desert King. This action has not went unnoticed and will be dealt with by Diplomacy, of course. Hurting their kin would be a very last resort, if it came down to it. In the Ambassador's quarters in the City of Sands End, a Ulandus Dwarf Diplomat and his protector have an unscheduled meeting with the Ambassador of the Southern Dwarves. The meeting is unexpected, but can the Ulandus Dwarves us the power of speech to win? [edit: please rezise your pics like so, kabel] Southern Dwarf Ambassador: "Who are you? GUARDS, SEIZE THEM!" Ulandus Dwarf Ambassador: "Wait, please give me a minute of your time! I am an Ambassador for Ulandus. I represent our kin, and only our kin." Southern Dwarf Ambassador: "And I suppose you're here to try to forge an alliance with us? Well, you're too late. Now guards, escort these men out immediately!" Ulandus Dwarf Ambassador: "Now, hold on a second. Open up the chest." Ulandus Dwarf Soldier: "Aye, sir!" He lifts up the lid of the chest, which reveals the key to just about anyone's heart nowadays. Untitled by The Goliath, on Flickr Inside are a few emeralds, the most prized gem of all Ulandian Dwarves and lots of gold. Ulandus Dwarf Ambassador: "Please, accept this offering. There is plenty of more riches if you pledge your alliance to Ulandus and us, your kin." Southern Dwarf Ambassador: "And if I refuse?" Ulandus Dwarf Ambassador: "The Desert King will have you all enslaved and forced to mine precious materials after this war, to help repay him for his debt the war gave him. Each and every Dwarf in Historica. You will also be a traitor to your kin if you refuse this offer. Under the First Centurion, he's guaranteed peace and equality to our kin and riches for those who helped him win the war." Untitled by The Goliath, on Flickr Southern Dwarf Ambassador: "Bring the chest over here and leave. I will call for you both after I've reached a decision." Untitled by The Goliath, on Flickr Both Guards who work for the Dwarf Ambassador of the City of Sands End both left the room, leaving him seemingly vulnerable to an attack wish the Ulandians Dwarves wished to. No, they want something far more important to both Ulandus and their kin - their allegiance. Southern Dwarf Ambassador: "I've already accepted the gold and gems from the Desert King's ambassador so I must fight for them." Ulandus Dwarf Ambassador: "That is not true, just because you are paid to fight for someone doesn't mean you have to sell-out to them. Do what's right, keep the gold and fight for us instead. The gold and gems you've received from the Desert King will help us towards our cause." Southern Dwarf Ambassador: "You're right. You did say that the Desert King wishes to enslave us after the war, right?" Ulandus Dwarf Ambassador: "Correct. Our captives say that they will enslave us all if they win. We will not let that happen. We need all of our kin." Southern Dwarf Ambassador: "Alright, I think it's quite clear at this point. Us Dwarves of the South will fight in the name of the First Centurion. All our men will fight along side of your men. Our treasury is your treasury." Ulandus Dwarf Ambassador: "That is a very wise decision. Trust me, you will not be disappointed. But, there is one catch." Southern Dwarf Ambassador: "And that would be?" Ulandus Dwarf Ambassador: "You all will be integrated into the 13th Legion that is only comprised of our kin. You will represent the First Centurion by wearing dark green. We will join together as one strong legion." Southern Dwarf Ambassador: "That is certainly one catch! I will gladly accept that offer and I will inform our generals by the end of the day. when I do so, I will write you a letter and will begin to send men your way. Do not disappoint, we are putting our lives in the hands of Ulandus. Fight hard, and fight well." Ulandus Dwarf Ambassador: "You will not be disappointed, I promise you that. You have done a great deed today, especially for our kin. Take care." Southern Dwarf Ambassador: "Tread lightly." Untitled by The Goliath, on Flickr The two Dwarves of Ulandus leave the room, chins up and are glad to have the new alliance between Ulandus and the Dwarves from the City of Sands End. The new integration will soon be shown.

Your actions haven't gone unnoticed. http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=107237

My minifig things are going to arrive sometime during next week, is it fine that I could swap color right when I get them, if I win?

To be fair, there are aqueducts and, in theory, an oil rig could work in the same way. If not, I'm not sure sure how oil would be excavated so efficiently! I like where you're heads at with steam-creations but trust me, it's hard to pull off without breaking the lore of GoH. I've had the same ideas, and I still do in various ways, and they aren't going to go so well with many people. I also respect the fact that you too like Dwarves! Here I thought I was and Venkefedo (wherever he is) were.

Nice aqueduct and I like how the mummies are moving the blocks around.

Awesome Oil Rig, Kai!

"In that case, I feel I should do this." Mhinak pushes the large bookshelf in front of the hole in the wall. OoC: Let me know if I can't do this.

I just checked it out and the prices there are similar to BrickLink, which is really nice. Sadly, no one is selling Dain Ironfoot minifigs yet.

It's probably a salt water river for you salty High Counselors!

I'm curious about there being any other good sites that may be like BrickLink that are, of course, reliable as well and have great prices. I'm trying to get my hands on some Dain Ironfoot minifigs for decent prices but Bricklink has them going for like $20 a minifig! If anyone has other suggestions for sites, I'd really like to hear them.
