Dang, thats great news. A top start of the new year!!

What a great teaser-shot! I spot oldies and newer guildie-sigfigs. Sweet idea @Grover really looking forward to see whats been brewing behind the tapestries in the chambers of the guildleaders!

Thanks Grover! Multi-elevation elevating the scene-pun was much enjoyed

Thanks guys! Also thanks to the judges and all builders! Fun to win with the tough competition! So glad that GoH is alive and kicking. Looking forward even more to Book IV now that people bring so many nice builds and storylines. Congrats to my fellow swede and lugmember @Gideonfor taking the win in the B-category.

You’ve put a lot of action and details into this tavern considering the small footprint. A cozy lively atmosphere indeed! I like how you shaped the roof and the dual-colored floor!

Sweet bow-shaping and fun idea with brickbuilt figures. Posing is nice, like someone mentioned a tad overexposure in the photo. Are these your first character-builds or have you done others as well? (Its hard and frustrating so I never muster the will to do them myself 😂)

Rug steals the show here but as others mentioned the wooden beams/supports are great too. I like the fig-placement!

You’ve nailed scale, proportions and composition in this avalonian amphitheater! Some of my favourite parts are the shaping for the seats, outhouses, trees and how the platform seems carved into the ground/hillside. The subtle walkdown where dbg and lbg connects sells that idea perfectly!

Yup, could definitely be improved with real crenellations! Glad you liked the rest of the build 🙏 Sweet, quite the place to live up to. Appreciate you commenting!

Thanks guys! Appreciate your comments 🙏

Thanks man! Yup its a lot of grey, original plan was thrown out the window due to no time and deadline closing in 😂perhaps Ill re-work it to come closer to what I hade planned out! Thanks Jonas! Always fun being featured. Nice that they dug up older builds from GoH as well!

Happy scoring/judging! Fantastic how the prelude challenge sort of woke the subforum of GoH up from a tiny slumber. With builds, feedback, C&C flying all around: awesomeness!!

Thanks Simon! I can totally agree with you that some splashes of colour would break it up a bit and break the dominance of lbg!

Appears to be this Harry Potter-piece your asking about.

Love this idea and how you transformed it to bricks! Color-scheme and setting is perfect for Kaliphin, looking forward to future builds when you crack open the kali-tiles storage 🤩

Thanks Jonas! As I mentioned I had to rush it a ton. So had to compromise with stuff like crenellations, a potential tower on the left etc. Turned out pretry good in the end. Glad you liked the pres and figs too! Thanks mate! 😃Yeah I sort of had to go with this amount of lbg due to time-constraints but I feel like somewhat of a variety was achieved!

Sweet build Simon! The concept here is truly amazing. Highlights in the build for me is the flooring, window and horns on the wall!

Nice free-form base and cool snow features! Smoke combination with those two parts are good as well. Nice build!

Liking the taurus-bard! Saw your different takes on discord, it turned out nicely! I like the how dense the foliage feels with the background!

Nice build mate!! Loving the ridge of the roof and the scale of the longhouse. Some nice details and editing as well. A minor feedback would be to break of the roof with some kind of chimney/other solution for the smoke to leave the building. Well done dude!

My entry for category A

My build for the A-category! Started strong with the base but then got in time-trouble and had to mega-rush the second part of the entire thing. Didn’t end the way I wanted at all but hey I made it before deadline 😀 [The Bard of Old Town] Bryndon the Bard is an infamous musician, poet and entertainer in Dandelume. He is known for being blessed with the ability to put on a show for common folk and feudal court alike. With his lute, wit and voice he could captivate all; the young, the old, the poor and the rich, the strong and the weak. He travelled around Avalonia declaring, reciting and singing great tales of infamous heroine Dand El Alume, ballads of victorious battles and the history of his hometown. But born in Old Town Dandelume, he always felt himself the most at home surrounded by all classes and races, and soldiers in the service of Duke Wifgrir. His favourite place to perform was therefore by the stairs in Old Town. Where the oldest walls of the city still stood, and the ornaments of yonder days lay in the street. He would stand on the stairs singing to the troops as they went onto, or came back from, the hardships of their duties. Travellers, farmhands, maids and beasts moving in tune with the sound of his lute. The captain would stop to chat for a while, the troops applaud his recurring comedic songs, and citizens in their daily routines would throw smile and coin alike his way. His presence even sparked controversy between maidens fair watching from above the stairs. He was as natural part of the city as the stone walls, red climbing flowers or ornamented streets.

Digging the Ponte Vecchio-feel! My favourite details are the protective bars on the windows and the overall composition with sort of hanging houses on the supportive pillars! Nice job @TalusMoonbreaker

How many corners am I gonna be have to cut to finish in time!? ALL OF THEM 😂

Nice you picked up on that small detail! Thanks!🙏 Yeah it got dense as planned and quite alive I would say too! Thanks, had to google that painting but agree with you there are deffo similarities! Thanks @Feuer Zug I appreciate it!
