Exetrius

Jang has a very helpful video on this: Enjoy your new pieces!

Many thanks for the kind words, MassEditor! As for my presentation: still doing the best I can with an affordable digital camera, two desk lights, a blank sheet of paper and some colour correction. Oh, sweet!

Competition for resources... much? Is the release date for the Netherlands also September first?

Seriously, how on earth does one design such thing!?

I'd certainly do the same thing! *cries in corner*

Sums up my thoughts perfectly!

Thanks! I was short on brown parts, so those door pieces came in handy, plus they have some extra texture compared to tiles . Thanks a lot, SK! I'm really satisfied with the holders too. Don't worry, you will definitely see an overview, I just didn't want to everything yet. Thanks, en_zoo! Enzan huh, who knows? No need to recreate the arena, a bit of the battleground is good enough (if you get the colours right, that'll do)! Great to know you are joining GoH, hope you find your way to Nocturnus soon. Thanks! Oh, yeah, Deliora belongs to the Zotharith elite for a reason! Thank you, Henjin! I hope to have the next part up soon and there will certainly be an overview (...eventually )!

Oh hello there! People with bad habits are always welcome in Nocturnus!

Epic piece of awesomeness! The full-burst mode looks fantastic!

Exetrius Saga 1: Fallen leaf 2: Message in Kyrrath 3: Equipment upgrade 4: Subjection of a legend 5: Family Dinner 6: Attack of the Hunters 7: Taking the Runestone 8: Supplies Arrive! Episode 9: Festival of the Ranks (part 1) The announcement was made. The word spread quicker than wildfire: within an hour, all of Zotharith was bursting with life again! Warriors, mages, kids, trainers; everyone was trembling with excitement for the start of the festival. Large crowds were heading towards the public arena to sign up for the event and to meet other participants to form teams. There was only one day to sign up this time around, but luckily, Exetrius and Yukino (his sister) found their names on the list of participants the next day. A guide to the festival It's the first day of the festival. The cheering crowd in the arena went silent as soon as Zeruko Urima, first ranked user of magic in the Order of Zotharith, entered the arena. He silently walked along the edges of the rectangular battlefield, taking in the public carefully. After he had made his round, he stood still and started his introduction speech. Zeruko "Welcome to the seventh annual Festival of the Ranks [...] The arena provides all the arcane energy you need, as well as the materials for alchemists. [...] Most important rules: Killing of your opponent, inflicting permanent damage on your opponent and the use of soul magic on your opponent are strictly forbidden. This festival serves as a way of pushing your own limits, not those of others. We, as Zotharians, will use this internal conflict in order to emerge as greater force in the end! Therefore, I ask you: defeat your comrades, so we will all become stronger!" The crowd roared and applauded after these words. And then, the first duels started. Generally, the fights between lower-ranked fighters are the first to take place. After twenty-something battles, it was Yukino's turn. She was up against one of the sabre-tooth tigre assassins that her brother encountered in the forest, while training. She completely outmatched him, easily blocking the sword attack with her massive club and knocking him down with a decisive three-hit combination. Somewhat later, yet-to-be-ranked Enzan Armafur had his first duel. Soon, it became clear that his opponent was quite new to magic. The way he smiled at his (supposedly new) staff, and the overexcited expression already made Enzan suspect something like that. He wielded a simple energy magic staff. His technique was seated upon the "aim - fire - did I hit anything?" principle. Enzan wasn't very impressed. He dodged a few beams.. .. and effortlessly deflected the next. He charged forward, but then the referee declared that the match was over. Easy win. To be continued.... in part 2 Hi guys, there it is, finally! The Festival of the Ranks has kicked off! I would like to invite you to create a little battle scene (duel/team fight, magic/regular, it's up to you) for this festival, if you feel like it. Of course you can tell me below or PM me about it! Anyway, more to come. Btw, the wall of text under the spoiler tag is kind of essential, I put it there to not scare you away directly. Also, I renamed Exetrius sister to Yukino (previously 'Rozi'), sorry about that, I will try to avoid such thing in the future.

Nice! Great work on all three, I'd pick Geodude as my favorite! Edit: your profile pic is amazing!

Good to see they come with acessories as well! The bottom left guy really nerds a helmet, though. Thanks for sharing!

Ah, looking forward to it!

Don't forget about the eyes!

"This is also why adventurer created weapons are banned..." (nice fig there, btw) Dwarves are bad foot stools and cheap invisibility potions; great ones!

I don't see anything wrong with the vampire: 'The Teeth' - check Pale skin - check Slick hairstyle - check Long black cloak - check Bat mode - check! Moreover, plenty of facial expressions you can do. Plus a nice box.

To me, the animation looked like the (new) product animations, but then without the LEGO bricks, and a bit better. I hope this change won't be seen in the actual episodes...

Ah, I suspected something like that, don't worry about it then! (I have the same problem, the biggest build with water I did was.. 6x6, I think ) Colossal Battle Contest, you say? Sounds interesting!

Youtubers are not officially connected to Minecraft and it's licence, so it would require some serious paperwork to make that happen.

Welcome back, Alfadas! Great minifigure scene, especially with the duel on the bridge. Also noteworthy are those lantern type of.. plants? Really the only thing that I don't like about the terrain (and this build, for that matter) is the water; the straight corner and the obviousness of the opaque blue tiles are not a pleasing sight. Other than that, a solid build! (btw, what is CBC?)

Next magazine has young Clay, a nexo power and a warrior stand; that's got to be the best one yet!

Oh, that's nice!

Thanks you! Glad you enjoyed the story. (Don't worry about the horses, they get to tow lighter carts in the caravan every once in a while. )

http://brickset.com/sets/theme-Ninjago/subtheme-Magazine-Gift Here are more of these. I have to say this Kai was one of the better magazine gifts

Oh, I suspect it will be contest time then! Or Book III, or the promo poster reveal? Pumpkin pie, maybe?
