Lord Vladivus

Cheers Manx!

I feel your pain! Making distinctive dwarves is tricky as well, given that the Lotr ones are so good. I'm hoping for more castle goodness from Lego soon (we can hope, eh?).

Nice series of builds, as others have said the swamp scene is great! And I like the sig-fig even more now with the cloak!

Nice tree design, I do quite like this scene!

Welcome back to GoH, and you're in the best guild this time! Cool sig-fig!

Awesome! This is how I imagined my dwarven mine! Only niggle (and its slight), is that the dwarves are a little too Lotr/Hobbit-ish. The Vikings you made are still some of my fave figs though!

I really like the roof technique!

Nice vineyard!

Great rocks! Nice build!

Nice little vig! I like the colours.

Nice wooden huts! I like the figs too!

Basically, civil war. Nocty is under the rule of Lord Ravaage and the Black Spire. A few feisty souls, Lord Vladivus included, form a resistance. ZC, MassEditor and Torgar have produced a great series of builds detailing the shenanigans going on within the Black Spire. We've had civil war in Avalonia, and the next civil war (Challenge 3) is in Mitgardia!

Haha great!

Very nice build! Cool fig too, great to see you hanging out in Nocty!

Thanks guys!

Welcome Covenant! Great backstory to your sig-fig!

Great forced perspective! Cool build, I love the story!

Very cool! Love how you've continues the story from your previous build, and this series is definitely a different take on the tower!

Thanks guys! With regards to Lady Sithanna, I wanted a fig that could take over the running of Shadowmere if Vlad wanted to go off adventuring. Another vampire seemed appropriate, and I just liked the fig! Hopefully see more of her in the future! I've tried small scale- more a couple of snotted cheese slopes, so not really! This is my first attempt at building them sideways properly!

Nice little vig!

Thanks for the feedback guys- I think I might invest in more slopes and give this another go!

Freebuild: HSS: Underground in Shadowmere I reckon Nocty would like you back! I want to see more of your badass sig-fig!

Beneath the rocky outcrops and plateaus surrounding Shadowmere are the mines of the Nocturnian Dwarves who produce much of the stone and ore for Shadowmere. These mines are often rough and ready, and the dwarves are prepared to retreat in the face of the frequent Drow raids. Patrolled by swift Dwarven warriors on warg mounts, the mines have an early warning system of sorts. It is one of these mines that Vladivus visits today, alongside his hope for a consort, the ancient, immortal vampiress, Lady Sithanna. Vladivus: "As you can see, these mines are not particularly extensive, or well worked- the dwarves are simply not numerous enough to fend off the Drow, skilled warriors though they may be. My zombies struggle down here, where their numbers count for little in the narrow tunnels." Lady Sithanna: "And you are hoping that I would lend you my Man-bat soldiers, who were bred in darkness and caves, and thus suited to these battles? Do I not strike to the heart of the matter my love?" Vladivus: "Perceptive as ever. You know as well as I do that it would do well- not to mention that an alliance of the vampires of Nocturnus would strike fear into Ravaage. Lord Mortis already aligns himself with Shadowmere." Before Sithanna could reply, a dwarven Captain mounted upon a warg burst into the cavern. Captain Dhumkaz: "M'Lord... and er Lady, I apologise..." Lady Sithanna: "Spit it out dwarf!" The dwarf's eyes narrowed, and he spoke pointedly to Vladivus. Captain Dhumkaz: "My Lord, Angfauglir approaches. Your scouts report that he appears to be alone, but they cannot be sure." Lord Vladivus: "Well, a surprise I suppose. I didn't think that wretch would risk coming here, even if he's on the run from Senurhem and Ravaage. Aye, I will meet him. Send messengers to Lord Mortis and have him meet us here. Sithanna, I trust you will be comfortable in your quarters until this matter is resolved?" Sithanna: "Yes, I suppose. The wolf and the necromancer will have to fill me in on the rest." So, this build is my first proper attempt at SNOT rocks, using kabels tutorial. I'm not happy with the build, and it's gone through several revisions (including a massive tower on top of the rocks), but it began getting tedious, so here it is. I might revisit the mines at some point and try to improve. An entry for HSS: Labourers. C+C very much welcome!

Cool vig, and nice figs!

Nice Phase one! Great work!
