Lord Vladivus

Damn, love that palisade fence- looks brilliant!

Love that staircase!

Nice little build!

Damn, that's so much better. I didn't notice quite how dark the pics were till then!

Phase 2 and Phase 3 Warlords builds up!

With the information gleaned from the would be Zugal Assassin, Vladivus is able to launch an assault on Strangeholt Tower, a stronghold of the Black Spire. Encamped before the walls is a force of Black Falcons, and defending the tower itself are many strange, warped warriors, werewolves, vulture-people, and other more miscellaneous things. Lord Vladivus is resplendent in his armour, and astride a mighty barded warhorse, he strikes at the mightiest knights the Black Falcons can throw at him. Around him, the Shadowmere Guard and the Knights of the Inner Keep fight with implacable, zombie resolve, whilst Krell, the Necromancer, keeps raising them up to fight again. General Fenrir Bloodcloak, closest ally of Vladivus joins the fight on his horse, leading his werewolf warriors against the Falcons. He bears the red and gold standard of Nocturnus, and it flutters defiantly in the breeze. Fenrir's growls are audible even above the din of battle, such is his anger. Lurking inside, Zurias, the Raven emissary of Ravaage relishes the coming fight. He prepares to meet Vladivus in battle, to end Nocturnian resitance once and for all. Phase 3 Warlords build- tried out a new technique for the walls. I imagine this to just be a small buttress of the tower, ive not got enough bricks for a giant one sadly. Also wanted to try a swamp surrounded by land, which I hadn't done previously. I'm quite pleased with my falcons- I wanted a more modern version of them. Threw in parts from one of the new Chima vultures on the tower defenders- the torso and legs are great, not sure on the head though! C+C welcome!

Shadowmere, citadel of the mighty Lord Vladivus is a dangerous place, even to the initiated. It is not a place to visit unless you have permission from the Council of Shadowmere itself. The zombified Shadowmere Guard are a familiar sight, but less so, the Knights of the Inner Keep, heavily armed and armoured zombie soldiers tasked with guarding the nobility of Shadowmere. The oppressive open squares are watched over by statues of warriors long since dead, these golems awaiting simply an enemy assault on the citadel to spring back into action and crush their opponents under their mighty stone bulk. The narrow winding alleyways are a haunt of the criminal underworld, and even the zombie guards, unkillable though they are, avoid this area, some primal instinct of fear permeating their rotting brains from their former lives. Despite this, market stalls spring up wherever there is space, and a vibrant trade in various usually illicit goods attracts all kinds of Nocturnians, from humans and orcs to swamp people and ghosts, and all manner of life and unlife inbetween. Today, however, Lord Vladivus and his Shadowmere Guard chase a fugitive would-be assassin through the streets and squares. Despite his position as the Master of Shadowmere, and his standing as a mighty Warlord of Nocturnus, Vladivus has never forgotten the value of getting your own hands dirty- a rallying cry to the denizens of his citadel; "Though we may be oppressed and the Spire aims to conquer, I, Vladivus, shall fight for Nocturnus' freedom!" The grinning visage of Lord Vladivus on the chase. Not something you wish to encounter, for his armour is strong, and his blade keen, and a barely satiable thirst for blood lurks just below the surface. Rumours abound of vast lakes of boiling blood beneath Shadowmere, taken from defeated opponents. Certainly it is true that his many zombie servants have nary a trace of blood in their crumbling, rotting bodies. Lo, the assassin, a raven warrior of the Zugal Tribe no less, strikes at Vladivus, though his blade is no match for the Lord of Shadowmere. A wealth of secrets this creature may have. In utter disregard for the events around them, so common are they, other citIizens of Nocturnus go about their daily business. A Dragon Master, exile of Avalonia heads to a street vendor to look for lapping powder for his armour. The green skin, and wide, staring eyes belie this creature as a member of the Swamp People, despite his more normal dress. He sells many items, utilising the resources of his Moruth Swamp homelands. This particular square is a favourite haunt of Scarecroicus, the local drunkard. A strange creature, he is rumoured to have had many fantastical adventures in his youth, and he will tell questing adventurers of a path the colour of the midday sun, a walking suit of armour, a cowardly lion, and a girl with a blue dress, red shoes, and a small black dog. My Phase 2 Warlords build- obviously not the full 32x32 but I liked this idea. My Phase 3 was originally my Phase 2 but I bought a bunch of tiles and this kinda evolved out of it. C+C welcome!

Great build! Love the contrast between the two rooms, and the tools in the torture chamber.

Nice figs! I do agree about the tablescrap appearance of it though.

Thanks SK! Pretty simple, but so effective!

I didn't see those scouts to start with! Well camouflaged. How does the tree technique work? I can't figure this one out!

Amazing! Like then other have said, that Tudor section is great! The story gets ever more intriguing!

Welcome back LD! Been missing your presence!

This is great- I must admit I'm a fan of the way you've done this one. The landscape looks barren and folorn- quote Nocturnian! Story is brilliant too, looking forward to the next instalments.

Brilliant! Great moc!

Great moc kabel! Love the arches and overhang!

Great figs. Baseplate seems a little plain though.

Nice figs!

They do. Although I don't think ukip will get into power, they're still a minority party. We shall see!

But it's such a catchy name. Nah, I'm British, and consider myself a European, whatever the case may be, so I like Eurobricks the best. In other news, should have my three waiting MOCs up on/by Wednesday. For Nocturnus!

Beardless eh? Someone slip with an axe? Nice wall!

We are no longer in the EU? I haven't heard this? I'm pretty sure it's just some jumped up politician making "promises". Besides, I'm a citizen of Planet Earth. ;)

Eagle, Wolf legend beasts, Razars Glider and Vardy's ice vulture glider, all mainly for minifigures and parts.

Nice tree! Love the figs too.

A couple of years ago, there was a April fools joke that was going to change the name of the forum to "Ameribricks". Looking forward to the rest of Z and Torgars story. Also got myself started on a Challenge 2 Cat A build.
