  1. In episode 1 Qui-Gon tells Anakin that it is very rare for a human to be a podracer because it takes skills humans don't have. He says that the only way for a human to podrace is to use force skills. That's why we aren't allowing human pilots for the pods.
  2. What if we just say guerrilla builds can't be made against cities worth 2 or more points? There will still be plenty of squares to attack and minor cities that aren't worth extra points.
  3. Welcome KDY! I would recommend building the inside of a building that happens to be on Tatooine. That should be doable with your part selection.
  4. And I've also set one up for the DK.
  5. I feel the approval rule is more of a fail-safe in case people start churning out figs-on-a-plate. So far, no one has done that that I've seen.
  6. If I can chime in with my 2 cents, I've always considered the Fallen Angel to be part of Nocturnus. The name itself seems more befitting of Nocturnus's background.
  7. Love that boat and NPU with those guns!
  8. I know it would be a lot of pinned threads, but is there anyway to have all the Cat C threads and Warzone threads pinned to the top? It's confusing to wade through all of the posts right now
  9. I'm sorry, I don't understand what you are doing in the build. Are you stealing cows from the DK?
  10. The pipe, the dripping, and the clang! were so well done! Great little build!
  11. I really like the bank and I like that you took the step and made your own custom Weequay guards! Not the figs I would use, but I think you made a good choice none-the-less.
  12. Apart from the suggestions already given I really like your door. I've used that technique before and I think it looks good. I find the pistol to be out of place for SW, but your story is good.
  13. Your story is good and I like how you've had your character progress. Your build is also well done and you have some great elements. My only complaint is that there is nothing here to make it look like it fits in the SW universe.
  14. I merged your question here. You might get more responses having it the proper forum.
  15. This is absolutely fantastic! As a big fan of the original EU (the books) it is amazing to see something like this come to life!
  16. I was going to try to deep link some of the pictures for you, but they are too large a pixel size. It would be helpful if you uploaded them as smaller pictures or used a host site like Flickr which will help you resize them automatically. Great build though!
  17. The points for Guerrilla and Counter are different in the description than in your chart of points. The 4 and the 5 are flipped. Also, am I correct in thinking the Guerrilla builds are due by the end of the day on Saturday each week?
  18. Ska, are there going to be any more story mocs to help us understand more about what's going on? I feel like the desert king's story is under developed. I have some of my own ideas to make my characters fit with the overall plot, but I want to make sure I'm not contradicting anything. Will we hear more about him any time soon?
  19. This is great! Wonderful ice effects and great figs!
  20. When posting mocs for the mini challenges, do we create a topic for it? Or just post a picture in the challenge thread? It seems that if every mini challenge moc gets a new topic it will flood the forum w smaller builds and push down anything not contest related.
  21. Sorry for the double post, but this build is worth it:
  22. See the previous tales: Wyndor's Saga: Chapter 1 -What Has Past- Chapter 2 Part 10: A New Home Part 10.1:Blunted Edges Part 10.2: Cramped Spaces Part 10.3: Enthusiastic Worker Part 11.0 Part 11: Mysterious Death Part 12: Dark Meetings Part 13: Warm Yourself Part 14.1: Sisterly Visit Part 14.2: Proud Farmer Part 14.3: Mitgardian Household Part 15: Another Mysterious Death Part 16.1: The Council Meeting Part 16.2: Meeting with Wyndor (made by Glorfindel) Part 16.3: Feud in Teridyan Part 16.4: Great Elk Longhouse (made by Glorfindel) Part 16.5: Traveling Partners Part 16.6: Mitgardian Throne Room (made by Glorfindel) Part 17: The Cemetery Part 18: Home Part 19: Crowded Market Mayhem Part 20: Shooting Straight Part 21: Returning Part 22: Keeping Out or Keeping In Part 23: Talk in the Tavern Part 24: Mitgardian Long Sheep Part 25: Captive in the Barn Part 26a: At Ease Part 26: Long Awaited Reunion Also Previously Wyndor had done so much traveling that day he couldn’t remember a time when he was more saddle sore. Before leaving Mattimeo’s headquarters he had sent the two guards back to Dalig Ulv to warn Pjeter and the rest of the council about what was going on. Then he and Mattimeo had ridden north to the main village of the Wolf Clan. Mattimeo warned him before they left that he had not left Bëo’s care on the best of terms. They rode into the village surprised to not meet anyone until they got to the main hall. There they left the horses at the stables and Mattimeo greeted one of the clansmen. “Barnabas! It’s been too long!” “Welcome back Mattimeo, how goes everything with your Blue Wolves?” answered Barnabas. “It’s a bear to keep them disciplined,” replied Mattimeo, “But I couldn’t ask for a better group. I still wish you had joined me.” “Well, you know,” started Barnabas, “the village has need of good warriors too. Bëo has kept me busy. But now is not the time for pleasantries. Come, let me show you what’s happening.” The group walked over to the river where a solitary figure could be seen on the other side. “He’s been there for hours, chanting in some language we can’t understand” began Baranbas. “It started 24 hours ago when a small band of them showed up at the water’s edge and started shouting at our guards. They didn’t seem too friendly so our men fired a warning shot over their heads. That’s when the rest of the band left, leaving this one behind. When he started chanting we fired at him, not knowing what kind of sorcery he was conjuring up.” “I’m telling you!” said one of the archers. “It was witchcraft! Our bolts froze in mid-air and dropped into the water in front of him!” “This is worse than I feared,” said Mattimeo. “I must talk to Bëo at once.” The party headed up the path to the main lodge. Inside was Bëo, his wife, his two sons, his chief advisor, and some more men of the clan. Barnabas announced the pair of brothers, “My lord, Mattimeo has come as requested with his brother.” “So,” began Bëo, “the boy I rescued from the Frozen Beyond who couldn’t wait for his first chance to run away with Kaliphlin traders. And then he has the gall to come back and take some of my best men with him!” “Sir,” responded Mattimeo, “you know why I left. And I’ve tried not to let you down.” Bëo’s countenance softened, “yes, we both know the good your group of men have done for Mitgardia. But I needed you here!” “I’m here now,” replied Mattimeo. “Yes, and let’s hope it’s not too late,” this came from Bëo’s advisor. “Tell us, Mattimeo, in all your learning, what can you tell us about the stranger across the river from us?” “You have no hope, that’s what I can tell you” was Mattimeo’s answer. “I know very little about those from the Frozen Beyond, but what I do know is that we have no chance of winning against them if they decide to attack us. We must flee south as quickly as possible!” “You whelp!” shouted the advisor. “What do you know of our fighting strength!? We can handle ourselves against any natural foe!” “But that’s just the point,” answered Mattimeo. “This foe is not natural.” Bëo stepped down from his throne and approached Mattimeo, "We will not run like cowardly dogs! We will face our foes as clansmen! Will you help us with your knowledge or not?" Mattimeo didn't have a chance to answer because one of the clansmen burst in at that point, “Sir! The Frozen Beyonder is… doing something!” He ran back out and the men followed him. They came to the river’s edge and saw ice forming in the water. It was Summer and most of the ice had long since melted and floated down to the ocean. It was unnatural to see the process being reversed. Quickly the river was frozen enough to allow the Frozen Beyonders to cross and their force charged across at the clansmen. Just as Mattimeo had warned, the battle was a slaughter. Man after man fell. Bëo himself almost took a mortal blow, but Wyndor blocked it at the last moment. Mattimeo pulled at Bëo’s arm and got him half way up the path towards the hall before Bëo finally stopped struggling and went with Mattimeo and Wyndor willingly. Bëo told the two guards, “My wife and children should be safe by now, hold the door for a few more minutes, then run from here as fast as you can!” Wyndor wondered how Bëo’s family could have escaped when he didn’t see them leave the hall, but as soon as they entered again he saw how. The throne had been pushed over revealing a hidden passage. No questions were asked. The three men knew they were probably leaving the rest of the men outside to their deaths. But they also knew there was nothing else they could do. Mattimeo had tried to warn Bëo, but he waited too long. Now they fled through a tunnel like rats. Their only hope was to make it away alive so that they could warn others of the terror that was coming.
  23. Very cool! It reminds me of the fight scene from the newest Hobbit where they take on Azog.
  24. Wow. You are truly a master at Kaliphlin building!
