  1. Fantastic! The repeating crossbow and flame thrower are great additions! Well done all round!
  2. Thats hilarious. Now I'm hungry so well done!
  3. Those hats are great! Very nice group of toughs!
  4. Will certainly do!
  5. Very clever. Love the story. Makes perfect sense.
  6. Well done. Must be nice. My job entails "rolling in the blood and muck with all the other pigs". I will post some Mokolie Abus gunners. Fun note, the Abus Gun is is actually a small black-powder howitzer. A light mortar with with direct-fire capabilities. I woke up to 'more war for the wealthy' so i'm I'm a little bit pissy.
  7. I get ya. The tone of my post was a little more aggressive than I would've liked. Sorry. It is just one of my few buttons. In my experience, it's the minifigs who define and/or limit the genre of a MOC. If you can find a good ebay vendor in your country, you can lay hands on them for a reasonable cost. On a side note, I'm going to start posting AG2 prologues in a month or so as I become more affluent with my parts, these will have a lot of opportunity for collaboration between AG orphans and latecomers such as ourselves. I don't have the power to make a system for it but the builds and RP aspects do not require a system necessarily. Who knows, maybe the mods can be fired-up by some activity.
  8. Excellent moc. Takes a unblinking look at the people whose lives these wars have completely ruined. I'm surprised we found a company's worth of them. Slow learners?
  9. This is brilliant! Very clever use of doors as fabric bolts and the racks are great!
  10. The conversation between you and NOD could literally be two Sea Rats arguing on the beach about how best to use that ship. That's what I mean.
  11. Thank ye! @blackdeathgr, thank you! Tried to convey some serious fieldcraft by way of shuffling their equipment a bit.
  12. Thank you! I'm glad you dig it! Thanks for the help with the lore too.
  13. I'm pretty sure this is exactly the sentiment that cost EB any scifi RBGs outside Disney products. You know there is more to this genre than just starwars right? I won't speak for others but I personally believe that writers should be paid for their work and that plagiarism is still a crime. So I boycotted Disney years ago and am sad to see TLG throw in with those thieves so heartily since then.
  14. Thanks! The idea for harpoon feet came from reading the instructions for a SW set I didn't have. Thanks! I'm worried it's a bit long for this topic. I was trying for hours to make a convincing double barreled one like I found online. Thank you. I hope so. They're meant to be charging. I am hoping to find more uses for those torsos. They could work well for a lot of things.
  15. Fantastic! Good spread of pieces to give the figs individual styles. I usually prefer that to fully uniformed troops. Sohei are a good call! I was musing on that but don't have those parts. Nice work!
  16. I'll just toss this up and go back to scratching my head about taskb and cat 2. Shazam;
  17. A new arrival in the New Haven Sea, the 'Orphan Lords' are a highly professional mercenary troupe whose origins antedate the Lotii domination of their homeland of Peri by some two hundred years. They are the scions of the indigenous army of landed nobility who once ruled Peri. Today that legacy translates into a highly disciplined 'esprit de corps' with a fearsome record for bloody-minded charges and tenacious defense. (Above: Flower of the Lotus Cat1a entry) Although few Madrician accounts exist of these career-soldiers, their current use of modern flinklock smoothbore muskets and close-order drill indicate a recent and effective Madrician-style military reform. As a professional mercenary company, keeping up with the latests innovations can be as important as the actual fight and the Orphans clearly haven't been idle. They have been observed to fight as Madrician line-infantry and light infantry. In uniform and out. In raids, boarding actions and pitched battles all around their homeland and other Lotii possessions. Potential recuits must have battlefield experience and the capacity to purchase and maintain their own weapon and tunic, outside these loose stipulations, troops are encouraged to equip and dress themselves comfortably. With them is a weapon common throughout Lotii holdings, a cetbang. Usually employed on fortess walls or mounted to the hulls of ships, these 'light' breach-loading swivel guns render tremendous, rapid-firing, anti-personnel capabilities upon its wielders. Shot or shrapnel is pre-loaded into what is essentially a series of iron mugs and sealed with wax. The Orphan Lords have been operating these vigorously for such a length of time, that it is not uncommon to see a battery of maneuverable, man packed cetbangs integrated at the battalion level. They do not seem to speak the Lotii tongue naturally and an attache from one of the Lotus Banner Armies (center) assists with translation and keeps a close eye on the officers. In addition, the Lotus and Peri seem to have a mutual hostility that far outstrips a simple battlefield rivalry. ... Thanks for reading! Was a bit longer than I intended. Been camping on these for a while. Stoked to finally barf 'em up! Seriously though, check out breachloading swivel-guns if you haven't. Blew my mind at just how old and ubiquitous they were. Some were even more gun than any swivel could handle. I used tack putty to keep some of them upright without a base.
  18. Oooh. Very clever! Very nice SNOT base and the campsite is great! I hope you find that quick-silver, so the children may play with it. True story, here in the states, nearly everyone from before the '80s can tell you stories about breaking thermometers to play with the mercury inside. I think that explains some things... I gotta take a whack at a micro sometime. They look like a bunch of fun to build.
  19. Hilarious! This exchange between sea Rats could be a moc too.
  20. Very fun builds with a lot of fun techniques. Your funiture and that piano are great! Excited to read more! I have a buddy named Fernando. I sing that at him sometimes. To keep him friendly.
  21. That's a great idea and very well made to boot! Nothing but range I assume. Excellent water detail!
  22. Latrun Turnpike. Small Residence. License Pending.
  23. They aren't contradictory stories. Just do your thing in the meantime and short of instigating a full scale battle, you'll probably be fine. I believe the results of that challenge have already been thoroughly kneaded into the lore. The few details between there and here are, alliance between Corries and Oleon. And Corries land in ft Arltrees to do recon. So you're just in time! If it's a dramatic motivation you're after, consider Oleon has maybe 80 men on the whole island of EO and not a one in NO. Gotta hold out until the combined fleet arrives?
  24. Nice ingot work. And that viney plant thing is awesome!
