Lord Vladivus

Thank you Emma! I love reading, so he's not too bad for me, but the Silmarillion is more like a historical account rather than a story for a lot of it. I was 9 (I was encouraged to read when I was young, my mother is an English teacher) when I first read it, but I can well understand it not being everyone's cup of tea. Black tiles is on the agenda, I have like 3 1x2's. And I need work on my photography!

Thank you! I'm tempted by building Ungoliant, that part of Middle-Earth's history is my favourite. And Melkor.

Yahoo is good for me now, but apparently the USA is having problems now, it might be something like maintenance cycling through the servers.

I think flickr is having a couple of issues at the moment, I'm having problems with it. Mitgardian men? My villagers have just received a massive order of baby oil (it's made of liquified babies you see), so they can make their chests glisten in the sun. It's to blind their opponents, as they can't actually fight.

Third tribe for the Tribes challenge is up: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=87624

Third tribe: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=87624

"The Ungolian are ancient, immortal creatures. They are named after the first of their kind, Queen Ungoliant of Underverse. She existed in a time when the continents occupied different positions, and humans, elves and dwarves had yet to exist. The Ungolians are creatures of incalculable malice, and their plans stretch on for millenia. To cross one is to entertain misery for all of your bloodline that follow after. Their carapace is incredibly tough, and only their eyes represent a weak spot, and coupled with their immortality, they are tough to kill, and many that exist today can remember their Queen as she was in her heyday before the coming of humans, elves and dwarves. Fortunately for Historica, Ungoliant herself perished when the first mages of the world banded together and tore her spirit from her body. She was the only female of her species, so numbers of Ungolians are few, and they largely stick to their homes atop the northern Rakath Mountains, preying on unwary travellers. They are possessed of eight limbs, which end in vicious claws, and their prehensile tails end in a barb that renders a victim utterly paralysed. There is no known cure, and the victims body cannot be moved from the position in which it is struck. Strangely, death seems to completely remove the toxins causing the paralysis, and limbs can be moved again after this. If a female Unglolian were ever to be found, it would spell certain doom for the world. For now, most remain blissfully ignorant." This is my third tribe, and first (and likely only) entry for the seocnd Nocturnus Tribes challenge. I didn't have as much time as I wanted to spend on it, as I had to go and teach Geography a hundred miles away from my bricks. I wanted to do a non-humanoid tribe, and I liked the idea of a giant arachniform. It's also my first go at putting snow in a MOC (see spoiler). I'm not too sure on the landscaping, but it'll have to do. Edit: yep, I stole the name from Tolkein. Edit 2: realised a bit of the story didn't make sense. C+C welcome Cheers!

@Captain Flint, welcome to GoH! Nice fig, and cool plants on the vig!

@Penkid that was a groaner. I hear the. Mitgardians have a book for each style of braiding. It's full of pictures, as barbarians don't really get a great education. @CBB there are good American beers, I just prefer my English brews. I'm kinda spoilt though, I tend to drink stuff from local breweries though, I tend to steer clear of the mass produced stuff. I'm definitely a beer snob haha! In other news, I've just finished my third tribe, gotta photograph it and then the Ungolians will be here!

Great house, I love the front with the alternating wood and stone.

Nice story, I wasn't expecting the Nocty MOC as well! Cool Nocty fig, he looks EVIL!

Great scene, I like the targets, and that you've distinguished between student ability!

Great start! Love the action in it!

I forget y'all need a place to discuss new ways to braid your beards!

My sources tell me they've been ordering hundreds of pink bows to adorn their beards.

Happy birthday Infernum! :D

@ Kabel, luckily many Nocturnians are already decomposing, being undead. I ain't scared of your threats.

Haha this is a great story! Kudos for getting in on the beard trashing!

There's more? Awesome!

European beers are far better. I'm still gonna bow to CBB's beard. All hail the beard.

Awesome forested wet land! The faeries are nice and creepy, I think it's the size of the heads! Certainly wouldn't want to run into them on a dark night! Awesome entry!

Love it! We don't see enough magic in GoH. Nice figs too! Guy? I see only two Mitgardian women? Hehe.

Everyone knows the apprentice is destined to supplant the master. Although I dare say you're better at geography than me. I just shout about landforms atop windy cliffs.

I came here to trash talk, not MOC. Period. Ha.

Hey, I was here before Nocty was cool. Only just. Now I sound hipster. Plus I personally have a beard, but Vladivus does not. He's seen too many women in Mitgardia with beards, and would rather be manly in other ways than be mistaken for that hairy woman, Larsson. Infernum's sig fig has always looked a little boyish to me haha!
