Is there a difference between the Iron man in the mansion set, and the one in the boat set?

Around 60 trolls/orcs/goblins/Uruk hai: http://i1208.photobu...zps7de3c5aa.jpg Nice and regimented. http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc369/el_zilcho321/lego/88b689f5d5c566b78a1ea3c1dd5a3339_zps8f794f7b.jpg My other, smaller armies. http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc369/el_zilcho321/lego/c32f052a4c9fddc52555cd8d813e6b7c_zps96888476.jpg http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc369/el_zilcho321/lego/e2ce39ac8742160822bca52919d8452e_zpsfabde3cf.jpg

did you got to the lego shop in Westfield?

I would say Andy Serkis defiantely counts! Most of the facial expression is his, as well as the movement.

The sets themselves look great but I'm really disappointed with the lack of any new prints for Orc bodies or heads! Come one , lego, you can do better

I'd like a Cirith Ungol set with blue and black uruks as well as a few orcs and Frodo, without a top and bits of web on him. It'd be cool if they could do a torso for his Mithril shirt which the Orc and Uruk fight over, I'd also love a Barad-Dûr but I doubt we'll see one. Not much for playability, unless they put a light or something in the eye. As for minifigures they could put in Frodo and Sam wearing Orc armour and could maybe add the big Orc who inspects the ranks (might only be in the extended edition)

I think the reason that they're only releasing 4 sets is to see how well LotR fares without its iconic scenes. The first wave contained some of the most iconic and memorable scenes. (excluding Orc Forge). This wave, in my opinion, has less memorable scenes (Corsairs). So it will give a better representation of how well LotR sells. Lots of people who are not necessarily huge fans of LotR will certainly remember Helm's Deep, the Cave Troll and Weathertop to an extent whereas council of Elrond and the Corair ship especially wouldn't be too well known and so wouldn't be as quickly snatched up as the previous sets. I could be entirely wrong, but I thought I'd just share my ideas with you.

Chapter 1: Leaving Home On the eastern slopes of the Rakath mountains, a small village lay. It was home to a small clan of orcs, perhaps only 130 strong. They managed to scrape by in the rough landscape. Their hunters managed to get enough food to feed the village. Their lumberjacks got enough wood to keep the village warm during the harsh, mountain winter. To the east, further down the mountains, was a larger clan of orcs, beginning to expand. It was over 250 orcs strong. Between the Rakath orc clans there were various traditions that were kept, and breakers of these traditions were treated harshly by the other clans. One of these traditions is that war may not be declared on another clan without legitimate reason, whereas humans, dwarves and minotaurs could be attacked freely, whenever a clan pleased. The large clan was always looking for reasons to declare war on its neighbours. One day a lumberjack was gathering wood in the forest. It was nearing sunset, but the sun was nowhere to be seen, as is the case most of the time in Nocturnus. A mist hung over the forest, creeping in between the tress. A figure was walking towards the lumberjack, although he didn't notice it. It was an orc. He was wearing a leather tunic that went to his ankles. He also wore a small sheet of chain-mail on his torso. He carried a short sword in one hand and a shield in the other. The shield was made by the Troll clan, the most powerful clan in all of the Rakath Mountains. They controlled many of the trolls in Rakath, and had a booming weapons industry, printing their clan insignia onto most of their apparel. "You have entered the territory of the Zindek clan and exploited our resources," the orc said to the lumberjack. "Return to your village and prepare for war." The lumberjack's eyes widened and he ran towards the city to warn them. He dropped his axe, he knew there was no point fighting, the village had no chance. At the village he informed the elders and the alarm was risen. The orcs were to flee west of the Rakath Mountains, where the chieftain's cousin led a clan. A small force of brave orcs were to hold off the attackers while the rest escaped. 20 orcs stood bravely as a force of around 60 came charging towards the village. They impacted and the noise of metal striking metal sounded throughout the village. The battle was over quickly, very few of the attackers died because the defenders were not as well equipped nor as well trained. A company of archers prepared to unleash a volley of flaming arrows on the wooden village. They dipped their arrows in a rare, slow burning oil, found in the Nocturnus swamps, then ignited them on a torch held by another orc. They pulled the strings back. They fired. Most of the arrows hit the thatched roofs of the small huts, which quickly ignited. People were screaming as they suddenly found their escape routes blocked by walls of flame. The attackers advanced into the village. While the first battle was raging, Orkusan, a retired hunter, led his teenage son out of the house. "Orkusack, you are the fastest runner in the village. Go. If you take me with you, we will surely be killed." He said as he wrapped a scarf around Orkusack's neck. Orkusack, despite his inner-feelings, did not disagree. There was strong obedience in orcs to their elders. "Once you reach the snowy peaks, use all your energy. You will not survive there for more then a couple of days. Go now! They're coming!" Orkusack touched his hand on his father's chest, a local equivalent of waving good bye, and dart off between the huts. He carried with him his father's hunting knife, as well as some provisions for the journey. The orcs were close behind and they chased him through the burning village, igniting more flames as they went. Orkusack had left the village and was now making for the mountain peaks. He could see very few of his fellow clansmen following behind him, and he despaired for those who would be made slaves or killed. The Zindek orcs gave up their chase, deciding to focus on rounding up the surviovors in the city to take as slaves. In 2 days and 1 night, Orkusack had reached the peaks of the Rakath mountains. The view would have been amazing, had it not been for th heavy clouds that lay on the peaks. The snow was thick, and Orkusack found it hard to move with great haste. He had to carry his supplies above his head to prevent them getting wet from snow. He wrapped his scarf around his head, to shield him from the bitter cold.

Presenting: Lord Orkusack, Uniter of the Rakath Orcs and his minion "The Wolf", a powerful and corrupted Kaliphlin Mage And Kalrod, of the Scorpian brigade - a powerful mercenary group acting in the Rakath mountains.

Are there any pictures of Dextruss Flagg other than in the first post of the Kaliphlin thread?

How does everyone photograph their mocs? I have only uploaded 1 moc, and the photography on it was not very good. Everyone has these perfect white backgrounds? How do you do that? Any other tips or tricks for photographing MOCs?

Is zod a kryptonian?

Goblin King Battle for £50 on amazon! Wow.

Could some please answer my question, which I posted a few pages back. Is there anywhere where I can find some information on free builds? As in how they are scored to your guild, is each judged and given a score? Also, must each free build be in an individual thread to count or could I create one thread for my character's story, posting my free builds relevant to his story in there? Thanks

What an amazing scene! The castle looks so great and is very big. It is also very well made in a Kaliphlin style.Good job!

We're like the errm... Sauron of Historica. Avalonia is like Radagast.

You probably won't know but how much tax is there on imports? I'm really interest in a couple of these sets - the prices are really reasonable, even before the conversion to £

Would you ship to the UK?

I tried but I don't really have enough to make it look good. I am going to get rid of the dark cloud, it's unnecessary and looks silly. Are you calling my soldiers evildoers? :P Yes, I plan to have more when I finally display the moc. This is the first of the 3 builds, I've finished the second one and will start the final one later this month. I've added some more plates, though I'm not sure if they look good, I'll get some photos next weekend. I'll try building a siege engine, though I doubt it will be very good.

New pictures, I'd really like some feedback, on the dark cloud especially.

Ok, I've almost finished this moc: I'm wondering what people think of the dark cloud summoned by the witch. (To shield the goblins from the sun)

Maybe I shall make a moc with my character claiming the Badlands for Nocturnus! But I have a lot of other stuff to do first...
