Welcome to Eurobricks! No worries about your husband, he will be hooked when he sees all the cool builds on this forum

Welcome to Eurobricks, Axonrus! Cool name btw

Wow, welcome back to LEGO wonderland, Zodack! Also a happy birthday and congratz for graduating (I passed my exams two weeks ago, so yeah, I know the feels )

Greetings, Ranger of the Forest! With a name like that and interests like reading, roll play and building/looking at mocs, the Guilds of Historica may be something for you. Anyway, enjoy yourself here!

The Chain Cycle is one of the best looking Ninjago vehicles imo, a worthy kinda reboot of 2259: Skull Motorbike

Four comments in a row about the use of the headlight bricks as legs, one of the least challenging parts of the build. I guess I should make my next build a little less boring ! Anyway, thanks for the positive feedback!

Great, original idea! Excellent build considering it has so much play value too!

This site http://www.brickshop.nl/lego/lego-minecraft.html has the new sets up for pre-order, they will be available on August 3

Wow, great angles throughout the build! Dark purple is a very nice colour indeed, haha!

Onicius prologue part 1: The village raid Part 2: A merchant's knowledge After his failed pursuit, Onicius felt angry and hopeless. What would they do to his sister? What could he do for his sister? Chasing the bastards was not an option anymore, so he returned to the village. Suddenly, he got struck by a great fear once again: did something happen to his parents? His father was a town guard, his mother worked on the fields outside the walls. The streets were chaotic: fathers and mothers ran around in tears, screaming for their child. While running, Onicius learned that the intruders entered via the two other gates too. Children and young women had been taken away, how could they! At the town square, a little field hospital had been installed. Almost all of the victims were guards, most of them were already dead, of whom his father... Onicius walked home like a zombie; numbness, restless and dead inside. The next morning, he had come to his senses for a little. His sister was not dead, otherwise they wouldn't have stolen her. She had to be saved! When skies turned dark for Onicius, one person had always been there for him: Nerocarsus. He was a wealthy, but lonely merchant, well-respected throughout the province. Onicius was sure that the man had some piece of advice! Onicius found Nerocarsus in his tent. To his great surprise, the merchant's goods hadn't been stolen. He seemed relieved that Onicius was alright. In tears, he told what had happened to his father and sister. Onicius: ".... I want to be strong! Strong so I can free my sister!" Nerocarsus: "A boy on his own is not strong enough to stand a chance against such group of barbarians! Anger will result in foolish actions!" Onicius: "But sir, as a good brother, I must..." Nerocarsus: "Listen to me, I WILL help you get stronger, but I want you to know that it takes more than determination beat those guys. A normal human can not beat a whole group of babarians. Those who can are either experienced warriors, or wizards, who practice magic, Onicius. Are you still listening?" Onicius: "Yes sir, yes! Could you please tell me more about magic?" Over the years, Nerocarsus had met a lot of people who practiced magic. Bit by bit, he had learned the basics of magic. He developed a good eye for enchanted items and runes. There weren't many other merchants who could tell so much about an item's history and properties as Nerocarsus. He knew exactly what objects to acquire to make a good profit. Nerocarsus: "In essence, there are three types of magic: alchemy, cryptomagic and energy magic. Alchemy controls the flow and arrangement of matter. Energy magic controls the flow and containment of energy within matter. Energy is needed to practice any form of magic. Cryptomagic describes the way in which matter and energy must flow. All forms of magic are a combination of these four...Erm, three basic types." Onicius: "Wow! That is incredible! Do you have any enchanted items here in your store that I could..." Nerocarsus: Patience, Onicius! Yes, I do have runes and magic items here, but you cannot let you use them, yet. Though I am a merchant, I learned some magic along the road to the present. Especially for you, I will show you some of my tricks. Onicius: Sir Nerocarsus, thank you, you're the best! Nerocarsus took a dark red crystal from one of the shelves and then three egg-shaped pieces of metal, which he put on the floor. He explained that the crystal was a rune: an object containing magic energy. He began casting the spell, the eggs started to deform and then there it was: sculpture of a chicken. Onicius was awed! Onicius could not wait to learn more, so Nerocarsus gave him a basic magic encyclopedia so he could do some self education. At home, he read the first three chapters: more elaborate descriptions of the three main magic types. After chapter three followed a couple of blank pages, and then chapter five. What could be the reason for this? To be continued..... in the next part: Meeting a wizard Thanks for reading! C&C appreciated

Thanks a lot everyone for the positive feedback ! I learned a lot in the field of building by checking the GoH forum regularly for the past year. You guys gave me some great inpiration Btw, the next part of this prologue will (probably) be up this evening!

Wow, the foliage and the tree are super nice! Also, a tree trunk consisting of axes must be one most ironical builds ever Just keep bricking!

Whoah! That is amazing! Looks just like a photo with a artistic filter over it; gorgiously detailed!

This is one excellent review sweetsha! Good attention to minifigs and interesting/spare parts, well-photographed too!

I'm afraid you mistook me for my father, Onicius , I'm with Nocturnus, haha!

That is unlikely because maximum age was 17, otherwise I may had given it a try

Dang! Amazing build once again Ecc, very cool structure!

I think this ship lacks the Ninjago style far to much to call this a Ninjago crossover. A back story and minifig don't count for that either. This doesn't mean that I don't like the ship and it's backstory

I personally like their fancy 'super-asian' costumes, but I understand what your're getting at: social-culturally and historically speaking this fancyness is totally incorrect. The LEGO Movie sets included quite some normal people, so maybe at some point (D2C, CMF series) we could get a few for Ninjago.

And it's a cam job

Those tents are great, especially the big round one! Impressive army too!

Nice texturing on the ground. Rockwork and vegetation look OK, I quite like the temple design, though I would replace those window frames with something more solid (2x2 round bricks for instance) that can support the weight of that dome.

Thank you! That corner is probably my most favorite part of the build, I got inspiration from, well.. any little village in the south of France Luck was on my side because the (real) sunshine really adds to the scene. I expect to have the next part up within a few days :) MKJoshA Posted Today, 01:55 AM Great beginning to a story and good build! Blufiji Posted Today, 05:32 AM Excellent start to your journey in Historica. The build is quite nice as well. Thanks! Both the build and the story were quite a lot of fun :)

Welcome to Eurobricks! Cool interests btw.

Welcome to Eurobricks, have a good time here!
