I have already bought a few of these. These are really nice designs. The pig feels a bit cheap, but the goat is great.

It is a matter of belief with the paints. I use revell because they are cheap and are easy to get. When I need special colours I use Citatel paint, which is really nice as they have a huge palette. I had no issues with rubbery parts yes. The only problem it that the rubber bends and the paint cannot move the same way so it will crack. After having painted a flexible piece, you will have to be careful with handling it.

The New City Lions will make fine chariots. There has always been this Elven Tiranoc Chariot in Warhammer which I wanted to recreate.

It hurts to say: The last gew Bluebrixx self-designed MOCs from their historic line such as the mill, the blacksmith, city gate or the half-timbered house are better historic models than Lego has ever made. For half the price.

Thanks MAB. The bent armor happened more or less by accident. I tried to break off the back of the armor, but it just bent backwards and then I noticed that it did fit.

[Colossal Castle Contest XVIII] Gargoyle King Equilithrias Mons the Very First [Colossal Castle Contest XVIII] Gargoyle King Equilithrias Mons the Very First by MWardancer, auf Flickr [Colossal Castle Contest XVIII] Gargoyle King Equilithrias Mons the Very First by MWardancer, auf Flickr Nobody really knows how this Gargoyle Rock Centaur Demi-Demon God King came into existence. The legend says he rose from the lava fields at the battle of Ayran after the final vulcanic eruption had swallowed man and horse, flesh and stone, angels and demons alike. A gentle giant on four hooves with a body weight of three and a half tons. While Gargoyle beauty ideals dictate that female Gargoyles need to scrape away their moss as they are obsessed with looking younger than 800 years, some dark green patches are regarded as a status symbol, i.e. age symbol, among males. Customization Notes: - the centaur body was painted completely - the armor is an atlantis armor bend backwards and and drilled and glued and painted - the weapon is a naginata with a new flame and painted - the wings are some old hero factory wings from 2014, painted - the hair is Thranduils hair, it had to be cut short and drilled and painted

I have just checked your Channel. Great stuff! Your figs look very professional!

I don‘t have much to add, but One thing that worked for me a bit was buying from local private sellers. In Germany we have a subbranch of Ebay (Ebay Kleinanzeigen), which is more local and works without fees. If you combine that with reselling unwanted bits you can maybe make good deals. For example I wanted two green Dragons, so I bought two cheap Viking Ships and sold the figs and the ship. So I got the dragons almost for free. I wanted four green horse bardings, so I bought 4 castle sets from private sellers and resold them without the bardings. I wanted Smaug, so I bought the set and sold the Rest of the figs. Maybe you can find cheap sets with Skeletons and resell everything but the skeletons. This method takes time and it is risky though.

Dark Elf Emperor Nebucadnezar on Sicaire Noir Dark Elf Emperor Nebucadnezar on Sicaire Noir by MWardancer, auf Flickr Bound by chains, loyalty and black magic, Sicaire Noir has been unified with Emperor Nebucadnezar in an unholy covenant ever since the Dark Elf Resurrection. Customization Notes: - the dragon's body is an Indoraptor with newly painted stripes - the head is from the the old Mutant Pteranodon, the eyes and teeth and tongue are painted - the lower jaw is from the mutant raptor, painted and heavily modified to be connectable - wings are regular wings, but I had to drill into the body to attach them - the neck is built from petals and painted - chains are painted - dragon helmet is from a Brickwarriors shield, painted - helmet and sword are from Nicebricks - lance is built from Brickwarriors and official parts - cape is from CapeMadness

These (if I can get any, I was not aware they are rare): https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?id=131578#T=C&C=88 But there are other ones too, maybe from Warrior Woman.

Interesting to have two types of Centaurs so quickly. The HP ones I like better as their color scheme is much more coherent. The CMF looks like a random combination of horse and torso. But finally another Elvenlike torso which fits the CMF 3 elf quite nicely. The Forest Maiden was always said to be his female counterpart, but now better ones can be made. There are nice reddish brown legs with golden ornaments which I am going to use.

We should not have left the CMF 3 Elf and the Harry Potter Centaurs in the same room. I am happy about the Centaur for the parts, but it does look like a weird mixture of parts. I cannot think of any Mythology with dressed female elf centaurs.

Interesting! Thanks for Posting this. The spears look great. The body of the darker warriors looks great, too. Once again, the printing on the foot is off center though. I do not like all the pearl gold, but a regiment of the dark ones would look Fine.

It is great that they have the custom minifig category again.

Hmm very difficult. I spraypainted a patronus recently, color matching with spray is almost impossible. I have collected some color matching information here: https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/64353-the-eurobricks-mcw-color-matching-paint-database/ This is mainly for Revell paint for normal brushes. Revell does make spray paint, too, and I guess they might use the same paint for the spray as for the Little cans. Also there is a link to lists of RGB codes of paint makers in the thread which might help.

Very interesting. I have been wondering what Koruit was up to. It is a very specialized army for a European, bus it has some nice parts. I espcecially like the crossbow, the arrow and the huge quiver. Also the emperor's sword looks grat.

I am very happy about the reindeer/stag. Mounts for Elves galore. I have been trying to spraypaint and paint the patronus into a deer, but it is frustrating due to the flexible antlers. Paint breaks off flexible parts. I wish the new stag had a more brownish color, but it is ok.

Thank you MAB and Jerry. I enjoy the blue as well, it is from the Warhammer Lizardmen color palette. The little gems inside the shields are just cut from transparent blue antennas. PS: Wohooo, front page. I have creatures in the making against which the cold ones will look tiny.

Great group! I would never have thought that someone could make me like the blue centaur bodies, but you made them work perfectly. Little buggers. I dont mind the other tone of blue as upper bodies of centaus often have different colors. Also I think the hair you used for the brown one in the front is perfect. It looks very horsish and fits the mark on the forehead. Did you paint these strands? Or is this original? Heck, I like that bit so much so much I am going to steal that idea. I have not bought any Brickforge centaurs yet, so maybe I'll buy some HP ones instead.

Thanks for saying that. Here I am summoned. I have recently cut some parts from an armor for my Gargoyle Queen fig. It was also a BW armor with breasts. I haven't really understood whether you want to keep the shoulder pad or the armor or both. This is how I do it: I mostly use a scalpel. The problem with this is that you cannot use it like a saw to cut through thicker bits. Mine break easily as I use cheap ones. They are for shaving, not pressing the blade through a thicker think with excessive force. If you want to keep one part and lose the other half of it, use cutters for a rough cut and then shave off the rest with a scalpel like AmperZand said. DO NOT make the cut with the cutter exactly where you want the final edge to be, but a few millimeters away from it - into the part you aare sacrificing. Most cutters leave a crushed disfigured area of plastic, this you will need to shave off with the scalpel later. Shave off very tiny bits, check the outcome, shave off some until it fits. Use sand paper sometimes to smoothen the edge. Practice with a cheap part first if you can. If you want to keep both parts you might need a perfect cutter or a little electric saw. Both leave ony very little crushed areas. The armor you want to cut though is not very thick, if your scalpel is strong enough it might also work. Be careful, a scalpel breaking right in front of your eyes under pressure is a dangerous thing. I am usually glad to wear my glasses. But when cutting off the shoulder blade you will be stuck with a asymmetric bit (only 1 "stud" on the one side of the armor, 2 on the other) which will require cutting off the other shoulder as well to get back to symmetry.

Like most of you I love dragons. That is why I gave arms to Smaug. I case you ever wondered how he looks with arms.

Thanks for the idea, but I am after the furry ones, which Firestar Toys does not have. Never mind. I'll find a way sometime.

I cannot help but compare the offiviel LEGO Harry Potter centaurs to the printed Brickforge ones. The Brickforge ones look so much better. Unfortunately shipping to Germany is very expensive.

Thank you for all your friendly comments. If you liked this Dryad you might enjoy its god (maybe you have seen it already):
