Henjin_Quilones

All genuine LEGO. The hair, for example, come from Barbara Gordon in the LEGO Batman Movie. Her face is Rey from Star Wars. The torso is probably a Lion castle king’s, but I don’t recall now which one. The cape thing is from the Ice Queen from series 16 CMF line. As the one who created the character of the queen back in…hmm…2017? 2018?…it’s been a while…, I can definitively say the Fire Emblem series had nothing to do with it, as I have never heard of it. It was more of what I had around that looked convincingly royal and feminine, I think, without a dress, of which I had very few at that time. Glad you like her, though! Grover did a good job of building her a scene here.

Good thing I have that one Black Panther set! I have the mask. It’s nice to feel rich…muahahaha! I will be delighted to see him some time in the future, when he becomes aware of his good fortune of belonging to the best guild. In the meantime, welcome back!

Great to have you back, looking as creepy as ever in that mask.

Good to see a familiar face…er…mask around here again! Nice looking crew. Makes me want to do a family shot of the Quilones clan now.

That’s great news! Looking forward to seeing it.

Welcome to the Guilds! Nice polearm, and the shield is perfect for Mitgardia!

Looks much hotter than the Avalonian arena. The highlight for me is seeing the broad selection of delightful and terrifying Nocturnian citizens, but of course the build itself is also solid with great details. A standout to me is the shields built into the inner arena wall with cheese slopes. One nitpick is the use of wind-blown flags for hanging banners on the backside. Usually such things would just hang straight down, unless a strong wind was blowing through, so I think tiles are a better choice. On a flagpole the curvy flags are great. But a really great scene overall, full of life…er…undeath?

Nice job on the dragon. He looks like a powerful beast, with tremendous jaws. My own look dainty in comparison! The alligator tails are a nice touch. I agree with Grover about the fortifications needing a bit more height, but it feels very Avalonian in color scheme. I do like a tan castle.

I rather enjoy that little chair. Not that a fig could sit in it, but it’s a nice size for the room.

Glad to have you back, buddy! I feel stabbed in the back by this! Leaving Avalonia!? Good to have you! I knew you wouldn’t resist the pull back to the Guilds. Glad to see you again in Avalonia!

I mean, no one’s saying she can’t change clothes until Book V… I think Henjin had at least 3 outfits last book. Traditionally your sigfig post was in full armor ready for participation in the Flight of Dragons (for Avalonia, at least) but everyone also had civilian clothes, too. And by everyone, I mean me.

Technically you’re first, right, @Grover? But great to see some action already! Welcome back @SimWies!

Custom/3rd party-printed torsos should be fine, though I might suggest that you avoid them for your sig fig, as then no one else could include your fig in a build in the future.

Welcome! Glad to have you (almost) here! 1. There are a few things. First, no real-world religions. There are plenty of made-up ones here, including some that mirror real-world ones, but the real thing is off-limits here. Second, no guns, cannons, airplanes, internal combustion engines, etc. The tech here is medieval. There are some dwarves, gnomes, etc., who have experiments with such things, perhaps, but they are the freaks whose tinkering are not taken seriously. 2. You can build anywhere. You are of course encouraged to build up your own settlement, but you could settle in Mitgardia and build in Kaliphlin and Avalonia without any issues. 3. Go wherever you like. There are no rules about character movement. Some sig figs have been spotted in many guilds on journeys. 4. Try to keep it to a minimum. There may be contests that dictate original LEGO only, but for freebuilds you could have weapons that come from Brickarms or something. I would avoid using clone parts as a general rule, however. But feel free to use your own string, sails, rubber bands, etc. as needed. Edit: I see @Grover beat me with his fast fingers…

I joined in 2016, so like Dan, I am a newcomer…at least that’s what it felt like. The guilds had been a place of prodigious activity in the first few years, and I had missed out on that. But it had also created a world with plenty of story already in it, which made it fun to add my own little piece. My favorite challenge was the closing one of Book II, the only one of that book that I got in on. I built a ton of builds for that, to capture the story arc that I wanted, and was rewarded by being declared the winner and getting Queen Ylspeth on the throne of Cedrica. Builds and story, man. That’s what the Guilds are about. The 5th and 10th Anniversary challenges were also great. The HSS and getting a settlement permanently on the map was a huge motivator for a while. I can’t be erased! Yay! Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on perspective, I don’t have much time for building these days with a horde of small children to raise and lots of other “adulting” jobs. Which are great, just they leave less time for this hobby. I still lurk though, and every now and again I dust of the ol’ ABS and relearn SNOT geometry and stud ratios to put something together. Looking forward to many more years of GoH.
