Muakhah

That is a lot of well placed cheese slopes. The dry cracked landscape is excellent. The vegetation around the oasis is really nice and lush too. Another triumph of patience! The dried out plants and sticks make for a great contrast too.

Very nice, especially the recessed green and white walls. The desk full of equipment and notes is very good. I can imagine Tabib D'Odo taking a break from governance and working on a new healing potion or balm. Something that makes sense and is achievable in comparison to dealing with constant city troubles. The floor tiles are very cool too, along with the various plants and trays of uneaten food. The workshop of a true master!

Nice arches and corner tower. The different colour transitions on the floor are very nice and the faces are very well chosen. Its good to see a uniformed force that fits Kaliphlin very well. The different activities are convincing and the wall textures and that roof are great. I don't think much of those scimitars though! Are they the notched and chipped practice ones?

Very nice wooden stockade and bundle of rebellious rogues. I like how the story elements are coming together as well.

I am away from Guilds of Historica for a chunk of time...damn life getting in the way. And this is what I return to! I do hope it doesn't become canon! For now I shall continue to hope that it is another attempt to besmirch his Majesty's name! Seriously beautiful mosaic floor and balcony, the decorations and arches make it look like a wonderful open plan office.

I just couldn’t resist the thought of the poor so and so who would have to clean it up. I tried to throw in a bit of humor because people who know each other well joke about all kinds of things. Life is both dark and funny at the same time. Black humor is often a lot of fun. The Wolfpack that Muakhah refers to is indeed your wolf brigade. I like to add in references, even if just a name here or there to make things all seem a little more connected. I hope you don’t mind but I like the idea of your really ambitious mercenary group (been playing mount and blade recently) I hope you continue with them and try to place a contender on the throne of Avalonia before heading for Historican Dominance. In character I would say Muakhah knows of the existence of the wolf brigade but not their intentions. I was very lucky to get the Ninjago monastery set. The stickers in that are great for depicting the struggle between good and evil. I was thinking that room would be where people contemplate the eternal struggle. Story wise I like the idea that no matter what the High Queen does she cannot make everyone happy. In the absence of an external threat, will the guilds even stay as one nation? Hopefully it was a good twist and not a shyamalan twist! I do need to get some more heads with beard and glasses to show a bit more facial expression for Muakhah. There are more characters in Khadira, see the Khadira tag for my other builds. But they are in the other half of my collection and so won’t feature much at the moment... I’ll need to find some excuses why they are busy.

Thanks @Gideon that means a lot to me. The all Lego shots people have been doing recently have been really inspiring and I am trying to improve the photography. Got to get it better lit and less grainy though.

Very nice texture on the walls and irregular base. Nice minifigs too. Looking forward to seeing more from you in the future.

Such a cool range of builds! I’m very happy to have taken part in this challenge and once again there are so many excellent builds on display! Go GoH!

Goats! Love the goats and the laden camel. The trees look great, but the stars of the show are the orcs. There was that debate in one of the forums about stereotypical "evil races" in fantasy. I think that you have done a great job of showing that orcs are more than that. I think it works really well andfor me is part of the appeal of Kaliphlin.

Such a simple but great idea. Well done on a shady couple of characters.

The last picture seems a bit ropey to me, but the previous two have a great use of light bricks for a beach barbeque! Those two guys in the middle look like they really love fish!

Nice one! liking the general vibe and the crowd of minifigs in various states of celebration! Its also cool you put in so many sig figs. Thats a really good turnout of Avalonian lords. Here's hoping you keep up the growth of Prenmor!

Very nice stonework and I second wanting to know where that symbol comes from. Liking the story and the little troubles facing the team as they move west.

In the light its a fairly simple looking build. But those shots with the firelight transform it into something atmospheric and brooding. The expressions and story combine with the throw of the light to really make it a contender.

When I see things like this it makes me realise that I am a very very envious person... Having got that out of the way! Another excellent build showing a range of details of life. Love the minor gods and gardens. Lovely colors and use of the light bricks too. Also glad to see that some figures in the city are pushing for greater links with the Desert King. Now we need @SkaForHire to give some updates on how the Desert King plans to rule so we can find out if he is also going to be pushing for peaceful integration, otherwise I'm going to look pretty stupid!

Each building could stand alone really well but they all come together in a great way. The texturing is really good but I really like the tiles on the roofs. The plant fronds hanging down towards the water and the various figures in the crowd are all done very well. I like the little group of Leanders, the gambling addicts and the big barrel of olives. Hoping to see more Varlyrio builds from you in the future!

So many figs! Great idea for tug of war and caber toss. The stands and the fencing look great, as do the variety of figs on display. I think the crowd look a little static but posing that many would be a massive headache. Good team effort!

I really wanted to do an outdoors carnival type build like this but ran out of time before I could even get started. There are plenty of really good bits here. I like the roasting pig, axe throwing and best of all the Puppet show which is an awesome idea! Even though you didn't hit the planned 64x64 its a big and impressive build with a lot going on. The tree by the dining area is also good and I think it shows what is lacking a bit elsewhere as it has good color variation. In a few parts the edging seems a little square or straight but this is a great early build. Also, is that a pizza oven! Very nice.

The sagging floor and the details around the various windows are amazing. The crumbling textures and claustrophobic feeling is brilliant. The way each house optimistically sticks its window out there to try and grab some light. The color combinations are brilliant. Just right, not too bright and not too dark. Looking forward to the build log, so much to learn!

As many have said classic castle at its best! The sign and the details on the cart are very nice. But I think the custom made scythe is my favorite part. Its also good to see so much on such a small base!

Great idea of feeding the beggars. I think the different foodstuffs and the rough lean to the beggars are sleeping under are my favorite bits. Along with the commander on the megaphone and the general posing and chaos that is very believable in this kind of situation. The central tower is done very well with the tiles on the roof and the walls. I'm not sure about the dark green and red color scheme though. But I suppose its the colors of your city. The two small towers and the way they are attached to the main tower have some interesting features. But I'm not sure why they are attached? I feel the way you have done it would make a really cool and distinctive gateway if the angled sections came together. I guess I just need to know the reasoning behind it.

This is a great pastoral scene, reminds me of some paintings I've seen with farm workers and soldiers. The grape vines are really nice and the storage barn is lovely. It really has an italian vibe to it so its perfect for Varlyrio. I also like how the story is progressing. Want to see more of it! Its good to see Varlyrio get fleshed out more and this trip is a great way to do it! Very nice irregular base too!

Sled and snow are really well done. The snow drifts being smooth and the prints being studs. Too much base...especially due to black and white contrast... But some really good tree and snow techniques to steal here! Goodtosee the snowy Mitgardian people surviving!

Very nice outdoors festival. I like the wreaths hanging from the green cross. The vegetation and path are nice (I especially like the army men base in the path for an irregular green bit) The musicians and food on display are great and the whole scene has a strong village celebration vibe. The flags and stands with bunting and shades also are done really well. I'd like to see more close ups in the post to see more detail. The overall shot looks great but some bits, like the goats I would like to see more of.
