Some interesting dragon designs here. My favorite is Urhark the Fierce. Great modification!

Nice MOC! Looks like it could be a classic Dragon Knight set.

The tree and stream are awesome! Excellent work!

Nice MOC! It all looks very expansive and nice pillar design!

I love this! Awesome minifig combos, story, and names. The bullywugs and their skuttlenip trackers are a welcome addition to the Phantom Legion! I'm impressed with the creativity behind thisl!

Thanks! Looking forward to seeing your entries!

Thanks natesroom! It is a pretty simple build and you could probably figure it out by looking at the pics... maybe if I find some extra time I could add an lxf file. (just don't hold your breath... ) Thanks and you got it! as well as the two manning the battering ram...

Nice job! You have some great elements here... the fountain, the pavilion, and the artwork/sculptures to name a few.

Excellent! Lovely little vineyard. I really like the pillar design incorporated into the house and the roof accents the white beautifully!

Good to hear that your wife is on the road to recovery! Not so good to hear that you won't have time to get an challenge 5 entry done in time but thats life. Looking forward to seeing a freebuild though! Welcome, Joseph Chuikov! Looking forward to seeing some new places in Kaliphlin!

Thanks for the comments! Unfortunately I didn't do anything. It is a BrickForge helmet. If you look closely the design is slightly different than the standard Lego one.

Nice job! I really like everything about this especially the stone/wood combo and the natural rock technique.

I really like what you have been doing with the series but this takes the prize. I was always a fan of the forestmen as a kid but unfortunately I never owned any sets and I only was able to obtain the minifigures in a castle minifigure pack.

I think you are right. I was trying to add some wood components but now that you mention it, it does look a bit tacky... originally there wasn't any piece there but I wanted some more support for the kusazuri which kept falling off when I tried to move the legs.

I present to you the Gate Abductor! And finally a close up of the leader of the small Werewolf regiment as well as the Phantom Legion banner... They like to think themselve experts at capturing gatehouses.

Thanks TheLegoNinja and de Gothia! He does have a beard! But I know what you're meaning and I think it would have been awesome with a black dwarven beard but unfortunately doesn't fit right... I've added the following photos to the first post and as you can see I did make some minor cosmetic changes to the golem as well.

Excellent work as usual! And like others have said, that crane is what really shines here!

Thanks again for the comments! What is Yoda head? Seriously though, I call him a grelf and he is kind of an integral background character of mine, kind of a bit of humor... he has been around since my first MOC for GoH I think.

I just recently came across some manuscripts that Mikel Kalores had been working on before he left with the Alleenridders. One of which is the prologue for The Backpackers Guide to the greater Siccus Badlands. I will try and complete the guide with the research Mikel has already done. ~ Gaius Kaleci Prologue: My arrival in Kaliphlin was not entirely of my plans and I did not have high expectations of my future there. Being from Avalonia, it was my understanding that Kaliphlin was a dry and dusty land, where the inhabitants continually sought shelter from the relentlessly blazing sun. It was my fate to be banished to Kaliphlin and I had accepted it, but little did I know that what I considered to be a curse would turn out to be my greatest blessing. Having now resided in Kaliphlin for many years, I have come to realize that Kaliphlin is the richest Guild of Historica in nearly every aspect. Not only is Kaliphlin rich in financial potential with its newly discovered commercial use of Black Oil but it is also rich in culture, in geography, and climate diversity. Kaliphlin has it all, a bit from every other Guild of Historica as well as its own unique characteristics. Kaliphlin's northwestern border shares the Witherwoods with Avalonia and it's northeastern border shares the Rakoth Mountains with Nocturnus. The Rakoth Mountain range arguably extends far north into Mitgardia and even in Kaliphlin many of Rakoth's peaks are covered in ice and snow year round. Kaliphlin's eastern coastline contains a few hidden islands and isles very similar to Avalonia's Mystic Isles however containing a slightly different species of vegetation and fauna. Kaliphlin's western and southern coasts are speckled with jungles from Barqa to the Spice Islands. As the coastal jungles end following the coast to the east, the land is swallowed up by the Dune Sea until transfroming into the semi-fertile swampland around the Qar-Akhenriver basin. The north central area is where Kaliphlin gets its derogatory reputation from. But even here there are hidden elements of beauty from the scattered oasis to the rainbow colored sandrock of the Great Escarpment. Deep beneath the surface of Kaliphlin there are large networks of caverns and tunnels rumored to extend all the way to Abyssan in Nocturnus. Being such a diverse landmass, Kaliphlin contains many dangers and perhaps is more dangerous of a place than even Nocturnus. Whereas Nocturnus is so well known for danger that travelers are always on their guard, travelers in Kaliphlin often meet their untimely end only because they were inattentive. So it is that I decided to write this guide, with a twofold purpose. On the one hand pointing out noteworthy destinations to visit within the Greater Siccus Badlands and on the other hand pointing out the different dangers for travelers to be attentive for. The best of journeys to you, Mikel Kalores

I was just looking at the 2013 creator sets and the thought came to me that we most likely won't be seeing any LoTR eagles but perhaps LEGO is trying to kill two birds with one stone with this set: 31004-1 Fierce Flyer

Good to see you back! Looking forward to seeing a new MOC from you soon!

Nice job on the tree fort!

Great job! I really like the horse statues and the decoration above the front gates!

Thanks everyone for your comments! I'm glad that there was a size limit on this challenge as when I had started out it was going to be much larger (Kai NRG remembers) and I don't think I could have got it done in time.

Thanks guys! I'll try and take a side view pic so you can get a better view of his leg system. He (the golem) is not very photogenic. I took several different shots of him but this is the only one that turned out ok. I don't know if you have watched Battlestar Galactica but I pictured this golem as one of the original cylons just with swords instead of guns so there isn't much of a battle stance. It kind of just marches and takes out anything in its path... Also even though his leg system is trple jointed, it has limited functionality. Being the prototype, I will be improving on this whenever I get some more inspiration.
