I salute my worthy opponents who were defeated honorably on the tournament grounds! @jansued @Ross Fisher I look forward to meeting Faris Al Thaumeddine ibn Djinn Denim @Professor Thaum in the final round! Also, many thanks to King Raul (@Khorne) for setting up the joust!

Thanks! Even in BoBs Proper, I've always liked the Juniper Forest Conflicts! The three-leaf pieces are worth the investment! Thank you! Well, the flowers are intact for now...

My votes for the Challenge: @jansued Great build all around. Fun to look at, and some nice story elements @Khorne Nicely done outpost. The vegetation is nice, and I like the walls and tower. @merc Impressive scale, and I like all the action going on in the battle! Nice work

Nicely done. It captures that forgot outpost very well.

Wonderful build! Both sides are packed with action, and there is a great variety of minifigs and story!

Trail Clash On a Juniper froest trail between the bitter rivals of Corrington and Oleon, two scouting parties clash over control of a disputed boundary. Although Oleon captured the forest in the War that Time Forgot, some Corrington nobels refuse to abandon their claims to rich lands. ‐------------------------------------------- Thanks for looking!

1 @Ross Fisher Great story and and I'm a suckered for builds with azure in them! Gotta get more of those. 2 @LegacyBuilder the hull turned out great and the brick bulls sails are a nice touch.

Setting Sail Following Philip Brickford's meeting with his old friend, locked up in a dungeon, Philip knew decisive action was needed. To secure allies and see who was still loyal to the King, he decided to voyage to the Island of Yeldo and meet with the Knights of Yeldo. The voyage would be dangerous, passing above the north of Corrington, but it would be quicker than by land, and time was of great importance with whispers of rebellion from multiple regions. ---------------------------------------------- Bonus picks of the deck and masts. ------------------------------------------- My Entry for Challenge 3! C&C welcome and appreciated!

@Khorne: details are great and the totem turned out great. @The Sarge: I like the close up of the shot and the wall and ground texturing @Professor Thaum: love the setting and minifigures! Really fun build!

Dungeon Meeting It is no secret that the Kingdom of Corrington has had difficulty finding its footing following the loss of the Great War. Fear and doubt has gripped the minds of peasant and noble alike. Whispers of rebellion and unrest spread throughout the land as each different faction believes that they could have defeated Oleon and her allies if only they were in command. The Northern reaches of the kingdom are proud and the border lands are still picking up the pieces of a war torn countryside. When Philip Brickford returned from the Great War to Brickford manor, although the welcome was warm it was short lived. With his father gone and him now the sole heir of the Brickford Clan, he now was responsible for his small fiefdom. With his alligence still firmly intact with the Crown, and as a minor noble, it was crucial that he keep his sphere of influence under control. During his absence, several clans of the Northern Marches on the direct border with Oleon began switching their alliance to the Oleonese Crown in hopes of a more favorable outcome then with a Kingdom reeling from defeat. Across the border in Oleon and with Oleon's help, several clans have built up fortifications and Philip has heard rumors of revolts. Once one of the Corrish king's most trusted nobles, one of the Houses of the Lion Knights Clan has established fortified positions across the border in Oleon and is seemingly preparing to carve out a section of Corrington for himself. Philip's cousin used to live in the area, however Philip learned that he was imprisoned on his return from the Great War for refusing to swear allegiance to anyone but the Crown of Corrington. In order to learn just how serious the situation is, Philip was left with no option but to sneak into the Oleonese Castle dungeon and meet with his cousin. Under the watchful eye of the guard, Philip had a brief but enlighting conversation. The situation was bad, and if they knew he was in the castle, they would surely throw him in the cell as well. Philip would need to hastily return to the Manor and figure out the best course of action to squash any revolt from from traitorous and disgruntled nobles before it gained a footing. ‐----------------------------------------------------- My chapter 2 entry! C & C welcome and appreciated and thanks for looking.

Thanks Ross! Yeah, the banner is custom. It's my real Family Crest. Thank you! Got a bunch of these stone tiles and wanted to put them to use. Glad you like it. Thanks! Aliexpress keep coming so expect more in challenge 2! Thanks! Thank you!

@Ayrlego Wonderful build with great details throughout. @evancelt For the sheer size and forebodingness of the build! @Professor Thaum Gotta love turquoise and that brick-built camel.

Return to Brickford Manor After many years at war and enduring the loss of his father, Philip Brickford is returning home to Brickford Manor. A quaint castle in the center of his fief was left to him by his father, who died of disease during the long and bitter conflict. Awaiting him is his wife, Emma, who has not seen him in quite some time. They hope to be able to forge a happy life despite the unrest within the realm and within the northern reaches of the kingdom. Returning home with Philip is his trusted band of soldiers who joined the cause in hopes of preserving the kingdom of Corrington for generations to come. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Feels good to be back to the bricks! Thanks for looking! Comments and criticism welcome!

Welcome to the Kingdom of Corrington @geoffrey_blockington!

Awesome entry, looking forward to more of Pyros!

As others have said, love the camel and the turquoise!

Baron Philip Brickford Philip Brickford is a minor noble of Corrington. His father (Philip the Elder) was killed toward the end of the Long War, passing the lowest nobility title of baron to the younger Philip. The Barony with which he is now responsible for is located just south of the Northern Marches and east of the border with the Kingdom of Oleon. With Corrington's defeat in the Long War, this makes his small fief a turbulent land. His journey will begin as he returns from war and attempts to establish himself in his father's stead while talks of rebellion spread from all directions.

By the beginning of April, the complete rules set was almost finished, and then @evancelt could begin the automation. Unfortunately, it has been pretty quiet in the way of news, but rest assured that ERA III is still on its way to the Brick Seas!

I will have a ship and course before the 15th! End of month stuff to finish up IRL, but Major Brickford will be headed for the fest!
