Sweet vig, very nice

Black Ram was tasked by KLR-command to check out grid M14, driving around the base of the mountain, everything was calm and quiet. Quite nice for a change. _________________________ For this diorama I made a NSTV, which was quite fun, not as difficult as building a ZIL Punisher but there were still a few challenges to figure out. I tried 5, 6 and 7 studs wide for this one and settled on 6. Trivia; I ran out of Dark Bley for the rockwork, so I decided to just cut it off, so just imagine the rockwork keeps going up.The NSTV fits 3 figs inside, sadly couldn't squeeze in 4, the back fits 2 figs or cargo. If you have any suggestions for improvements I'd love to know as I've decided to keep the NSTV around in my Lego display for a while.

Those streets are super clean, great looking aesthetic, very nice!

I can see that, yeah also like it's source material it could have come from a Mass Effect game or something.

Very cool, I look forward to more.

Hmm so another plot thickens

Those are some dense trees, the explosion bushes work out great. Hmm, as suggestion maybe next explosion add some small chunks of flying debris, like hollow studs on transparent bars or something maybe

Thanks Satsok Oh no I hadn't thought of that, what if the cacti have eyes

Recently a new player has surfaced on the board, a PMC going by the name Black Ram has begun activities in Soalon, coincidentally only a few days after the assassination of Kakusei Yamamoto. Apparently associated with the KLR, according to our intel Black Ram PMC is aiding the Kriviyat League in the annexation of Soalon. Our spies have managed to aquire this groupshot of the team. Although we have been unsuccesful in identifying the real identity of these people, we have some details on the crew, starting from the left; - 'Geist', light gear, presumable role is recon, Seen carrying an customized AMB-17. Further details unknown. - 'Crack Shot', medium gear, presumable role as sniper, since seen carrying an Orsis T-5000. Further details unknown. - 'Mamushka', light gear, according to intel she is a KLR liaison, most likely relays orders from KLR-command to the unit. Seen carrying an AK74U. Further details unknown. - 'Jolly Roger', medium gear, assumed to be in charge, seen carrying a customized AK-15. Further details unknown. - 'Yeti', medium gear, presumably some kind of support role, seen carrying a lot of ammo and a PKM. Further details unknown. - 'Bolt', medium gear and a lot of tools, presumably some kind of mechanic. Carries an AM-17. Further details unknown. - 'Bear', a Saarloos Wolfhound with an armored vest. - 'Lilith', medium gear, seems to be a standard infantrist. Other then the AK-15 seems to brandish a large combat knife for some reason. Further details unknown. All seem to be wearing HPFU's (high performance fighting uniforms) in olive or sand green with highly customized and personalized plate carriers and the Private Military Company is recognizable by the following patch: ________________________________ So I originally intended to explain this through a MOC showcasing Village Idiots going into hiding and conversing with KLR, I had no inspiration for it so for anybody who may be confused, the idea mentioned at the end of Murakumo Meeting by which the team can still work for the KLR while hiding and finding a solution to resolve their mistaken identity crisis is to operate as a PMC, this way Sasha and friends can still conquer territory for the KLR. Since they were only ever seen in the security footage with their ballistic masks on this actually works... for now. So basically TLDR, Black Ram replaces Village Idiots, consisting of the original 5 but with mostly new outfits and new gear plus two new characters while retaining their original colour scheme.

Thank you, haha I basically have my own sub-factions with sub-conflicts as a player alongside the main factions with the main conflicts I do hope I don't make things too confusing or convoluted this way.

After the events leading to the assassination of the Yamamoto Advanced Armaments Industries founder and famous philanthropist Kakusei Yamamoto, a broadcast was aired worldwide on BBN, in it security footage showed a squad of soldiers looking identical to Koszmar's own SF operators committing the aforementioned murder. While their reasons are unclear, they were heard exclaiming 'For the Brotherhood'. At this moment it is therefor suspected this unit defected to the Brotherhood of Soalon, Koszmar in response has begun a manhunt to bring down this rogue unit, organised and led by Koszmar's Special Operations Director, mister Coldman. We will keep you updated as the situation further develops. Location: Soalon Badlands grid L15, a few days after the assassination of Kakusei Yamamoto. : Sir, still no sign of any activity, think they are a no-show? : *Smokes sigar* yeah, we've been waiting for a while now. Call the exfil-heli, extract all surrounding units in the area. : Wait sir, do you hear that too? : Well well, kept us waiting long enough mister... ? : Goemon, head of Murakumo, YAAI private security. Sorry for the delay mister Coldman. How is the search going? : We... : Frankly mister Coldman, miss Konoe is growing impatient, it is high time you bring these defectors to justice wouldn't you say? : Yes well, they seem to have vanished of the face of the earth, but fear not I believe we are very close to finding them. : Good, miss Konoe cares only about results, in order to aid you in your effort please accept this gift, YAAI's latest in transportation. The NEMES15 prototype transport. : Sir this thing is an absolute beast, if only we had a whole fleet of these. : Yes, it is currently the fastest troop transport 4x4 with MRAP capabilities, it has built-in defenses and integrated stealth tech. : Hmm so that's why we didn't detect you approaching us. It is an impressive and imposing vehicle indeed. Our elite unit Mithril will put it to good use, do not worry tell lady Konoe we will have captured the Village Idiots very soon! Meanwhile, after seeing the BBN broadcast: : Damn, what the hell, that isn't us. But that is us! I mean... they look exactly like us sir! : Oleg calm yourself, I know we didn't exactly start out this way, but we are professionals now. So act like it! Mihail, can you contact your friends from KLR high command once again? : I don't think they'll be willing to back us, not after this old friend. : They won't have to, well not officially anyway. : What are you planning sir? : I think I know how we can both lay low and keep supporting the war effort at the same time, but first we must make a few calls... To be continued! ____________________ Wew, after first seeing the ZIL Karatel (Punisher) a.k.a. Falcatus in pictures I couldn't believe this was a real, functional, actually in-use combat vehicle. But after actually seeing it in action, I just had to try and build one. I kept track of how much time it took me and I only arrived at this current design after 12 hours of building, so quite a while haha. There was some more I wanted to say, but I spend my entire day doing chores around the house and taking these pictures so I think I'll go and take some time off now! Quickly edited after proof reading and finding a few spelling errors, haha ok really taking some time off now haha bye.

Nice showcase, great variety on the terrain

Fantastic scene Satsok

Heh I had my suspicions indeed

Bollocks, mister Glide would have chewed the cyanide capsule hidden in his tooth as soon as he knew he was compromised / captured Noice one Parm

I googled Up-Armored Truck ISIS, to be honest I haven't seen homemade panzer like that before. It's almost post-apocalyptic looking wow

Literal headhunter haha, I am curious what is the ride based on?

Congratulations BoB!

Nice clean vignette.

Thanks for the clarification

Great work on representing some docks Parm! I really like how you added some moss/algea looking green gunk on the bottom side by the water, an easy to miss detail that helps with immersion. The one thing I could give as C&C is the building(?) that PSIC hides in before engaging the Bros is a bit unclear, if it is ment to be a warehouse I would have added a second floor/layer on top with windows, would make it a bit more obvious what it is supposed to represent.

Good work Prof, I think the blood flowing through the water looks great, I'm just not one hundo on the story. Is it supposed to be an ambush and the 'dead' guy is not actually dead but lying in wait and if so why is there blood, unless they bothered with fake blood?

I am assuming FrenchMan is the only person who does not want to win, those figs and accessories look sick

Honestly Beeze, I think it would've been easier if you just redid the random name generator but excluded Frenchman
