[Factions Ep. 6 - Cat A][L13 - Fondor - TT] Old Sins
marvelBoy123 posted a topic in Factions Archive
*Your entry has earned 11 XP* Farantros narrative: Pyerce's forces were already there when we landed. Thats the problem with remnants, we all follow the same imperial intel and so we came into conflict with Pyerce's men at one of the most valuable locations on the planet - a research and records facility built under the old empire. We were tasked to secure the south entrance while another force collected some information from the north - something to do with a cloaking technology. The Carrion Crows didn't normally work with humans or other regular forces but we were told this was one of the most important parts of the whole operation and besides it was progress that an alien legion could even be involved in an operation like this. This part of the facility had originally been a proposed mine and so tunnels ran deep underground where Pyerce had based many of his forces. While the rest of the Carrion Crows secured the facility from above myself and Hecyst Nalucew took out the forces below. Well that should have been the mission completed, but I had other ideas. It sometimes happens that you find information a little above your pay grade and before the operation, I had discovered a specific file held within the south block. While the rest of the Carrion Crows guarded the facility from the outside, I had ventured in to collect the file. Room 317. Section X. Item 78912. Battle Log: Montellian Serat... As ever, feedback is appreciated! -
[Factions Ep. 6 - Cat A] [L13 - Fondor - CFS] Party's Over
marvelBoy123 replied to Denal31's topic in Factions Archive
A really great build, a brilliant design for the building itself and the minifigures are top notch - especially DJ Roger and the CFS operatives. I do feel like the minifigure posing could do with some work in places - the people on the dance floor don't look very dynamic. Something like in the wip-shots channel when you posted it with a stormtrooper on his head would really be great. Brilliant build overall though! -

Great first build, the buildings all look good and I really like what you did at street level with the civilians, stormtrooper and explosions - brilliant. Your characters are great too - I would love to see a bake off with a COO-2180 cook droid -
The colour scheme works well and I love your design for Black Sun soldiers. I wouldn't do all the editing though, if you take a photo of your build with a plain white background e.g. piece of paper then you wouldn't have to cut around the whole build which doesn't look as good and I imagine must take you a fair amount of time with all those pictures.

Brilliant build, the A-wings look good and the general hustle and bustle is very reminiscent of scenes in the OT. -
Love the two columns in the centre and the holo table is great. The wall feels a little plain though, perhaps having a doorway on one side might work?
-
Some great details all round, love the middle-eastern fell to the architecture!

Wow! The freighter is brilliant, I could take up a whole page of comments pointing out all the great details but the engine room, red detailing and antennae arrangement are the real standouts to me. I must also say you have done a great job in keeping the freighter within an imperial aesthetic. The TIE Raptor is also a great little design, the wings look really good. As ever, an amazing build!

[Factions Ep. 6 - Cat B][L13 - Fondor - TT] Damnation
marvelBoy123 replied to marvelBoy123's topic in Factions Archive
Thanks, my sigfig's personal starfighter might well be my favourite of the bunch too. I definitely would have raised the star fighters were I to make a similar build again. My lack of trans-clear bricks and how fragile some of the ship where definitely got in the way of some more interesting ship positioning. I have some more ships built for a future build so I will think about how to work in some more dynamic positions for them. Thanks for the feedback. Thanks, the Howlrunner was the first of the ships that I built and one of the most technically complex. There are a couple of times they have been made in lego but I didn't feel they did the ship justice so I knew I had to try my own. Glad you like it! -

Love that idea! Planning to build a SW hotel at some point might have to steal that idea for transport around it. The build is designed with modularity in mind and therefore splits into 5 main sections. The central section contains the cockpit (a full minifigure can be somewhat uncomfortably seated) and the generator area. Attached to this on either side (by modified bricks) are the red sections with laser cannons and engine nacelles. The wings are then attached to these (if you are making one I would recommend more connection points on the red sections - I have only 3 so that I could easily move the wings to the right position but I would recommend 5 connection points to make sure they are secure. The windscreen is put together as shown above. It is really pretty secure once put together but I would recommend using the modern lego window pieces as the 'glass' in the old ones is free to move. Hope that helps to give you a rough idea of how that is built. :) -
*Your entry has earned 13 XP* Farantros narrative: It was after I left the bridge that the real battle began. While the Carrion Crows were sent in an attack shuttle to the surface, I was sent with Damnation Squadron to complete an attack run before I could join them. After completing pilot training on Carida (a story for another time ) I had been given a heavily modified Porax 42 variant as my personal ship to lead the Damnation Squadron. The rest of the squad used I-7 Howlrunners, a new imperial design that would one day replace the TIE. I hear they are brilliant ships, faster than an X-wing, better weaponry than an ordinary TIE and all with an onboard deflector shield! The squad exited the Hell-Broth's hangar keeping a good formation and began an attack run on one of Pyerce's main ships... Damnation 7: Damnation 7 to Damnation Leader. We are taking heavy fire Damnation Leader: I'm on it, Pyerce's A-9s are no match for the Triumvirate's fleet. Initiate evasive manoeuvres. If we can get behind them we can tear them to shreds. Pyerce's fleet had pinned us down on the Star destroyer surface so we executed a Mustafarian Special, coming in behind their fleet and taking down a number of their fighters. It was clear that Pyerce's fleet were a ragtag bunch and we were able to make a number of successful attack runs with minimal casualties. Then I had to leave the battle in the skies and move to the ground assault. The Carrion Crows had been selected for one of the most important operations in the campaign and failure was not an option. As ever, I appreciate your feedback.

Really like the tie variant and the mine is nice too. Not sure about the black plates behind the mine though, they create some sense of depth but the reflection off them kind of ruins the effect. Perhaps a staggered black wall would solve this? It is a great build overall though, really like the dropship doors!

Brilliant, great storyline, love the integration of lights and the shape of that container is amazing! As ever, there is also some top notch SNOT techniques in the building and great attention to detail with the interiors.

Yes, the swoop is my own design. I was thinking of doing a speeder/swoop showroom at some point, I've been building quite a few of them recently! -

As others have said, a really unique starfighter that looks great - love the engine and detailing at the back!
