  1. Great worm and fig posing! Only nitpick is that the ground in front is a tad too plain imho.
  2. Nice dunes and suitable lighting to make it look like a scorching sunlight
  3. Excellent worm! This reminds me of the Dune games of my childhood There are btw several UoP credits you could claim here.
  4. Excellent counter and fire posing (if that is a building discipline?)
  5. Very nice interior, UoP +1 for the stained glass Only nitpick is that it would have looked better if you covered the gaps in the walls from behind so that less light would have leaked through in the wrong places.
  6. Thanks for the feedback, especially on the photography! Even if I've found a photography setup which I'm reasonably comfortable with and works ok, in the "always strive to improve in GoH"-spirit I want to challenge myself in that area a bit. So I've realized that even though my photography works acceptable for presenting a MOC, the builds are sometimes mistaken for being rendered due to the quite boring nature of the bounced flash lighting. It also helps that I've now been forced to move the flash off the camera since it's not compatible with my new camera, and then I started playing around with the flash positioning. I'm now also planning to get a new Speedlight and a pair of umbrellas which will give me even more freedom to experiment with the lighting setup But that new flash is also going to allow me to go back to my original setup if I'm not interested in taking a risk but simply presenting a build in the usual way...
  7. Fighting on the Ashes Warzone 4: "The Lonely Mountain Rumble", H9 Lutalo is a fierce warrior from the Spice Islands and a veteran from many battles including the Battle of Castle Zar in the Revolword war. He is fighting in the melee on the slopes of the volcano known as Erexhi (or "The Lonely Mountain") in Kaliphlin. As the mountain has recently erupted, the volcanic rocks and sand have been covered with a layer of pumice and ash. Lutalo's quick and advanced disarming moves have forced this Ulandian soldier into a very unfavorable fighting position... My entry to Warzone 4: The Lone Mountain Rumble in the Kaliphlin civil war. If I get a say in the matter by this build, I'd like D3 to be the next war zone.
  8. Beautiful build, with a fresh approach Only thing which looks a bit weird to me is how the pillars are supporting a slab of natural rock?
  9. That's one of the reflections I had when the challenge was announced, that you were creating an administrative monster for yourself with the guerrilla system
  10.

  11. Nice fire effect and camera angle UoP +1.
  12. Nice build and plausible technology Excellent photography.
  13. And it should be "Very nice"...autocorrect fail. (Forgot to switch language )
  14. Very nice build and great story! UoP +1 for the claims.
  15. Nice captired action
  16. Excellent build, I really like the interior as well as the highly detailed exterior UoP +1 for the claims. Nitpick is that the photo quality seems a bit varied, I think improving the lighting setup would pay off, as well as maybe trying to move your camera slightly farther away from the build when shooting. (you probably have enough megapixels to crop some before posting anyway?) Looks like it when I look at the signature "Captain Adira Magdeburg, a firm supporter of the High Council of Kaliphlin, Guilds of Historica, and seeker of vengeance."
  17. This is not a challenge entry but I was reminded of, and couldn't resist sharing, an old Dune Sea build as a source for inspiration here, in the hope that it will get some more builders to try this very Kaliphlin environment I should also take the opportunity to promote our old Inside Kaliphlin collab as a source for inspiration for the different environments this war takes place in!
  18. Very nice aqueduct, I like the angle you put it at. I also think those palm trees look great!
  19. Thanks! I had made some building over the last two weeks and finally got around to take pictures of them yesterday
  20. My entry: Nestlands Ambush A pair of heavy Leander infantrymen in the Ulandian army is about to meet their doom in a Nestlands jungle.
  21. Nestlands Ambush Warzone 3: "The Nestlands Insurgency", G15 Forces from Ulandus are patrolling the jungles of the Nestlands. Troops loyal to the High Council, armed with weapons from Mpya Stedor, have staged an ambush here. Their prey, a pair of Leander heavy infantrymen in the Ulandus army patrolling along a small stream has walked straight into the trap. The peace and quiet of the forest will soon break as sharp bolts pierce the shiny Ulandian armor and color the stream with Leander blood... My entry to Warzone 3: The Nestlands Insurgency in the Kaliphlin civil war. If I get a say in the matter by this build, I'd like D3 to be the next war zone. The picture above was an experiment with a different lighting orientation with a more localized light source at an angle to give more distinct shadows and having it look like sunlight. Below is a picture with my normal diffuse lighting. What do you think? Does the upper picture look more sunny or just weird? C&C are welcome!
