WIP Battlefield

[Kaplan]

This looks great so far  

[Zupponn]

Shhh.  Be vewy vewy quiet.  We're hunting for peaches.  Dhahahahhaha.

[motorhead fan]

This looks really great, I hope that the day you post the sign ups for the forum battle won't be one of those days that I decide to take a break from the forum.

[Natalya]

Progress will continue soon.

[Archduke]

Is this just a cool moc or is it hinting at a battle to come?
    

[Natalya]

It's for a forum battle.  I haven't figured everything out yet, like factions and what-all.

But I did spend $40 on BrickLink on parts for it last week.  I got them in the mail today and immediately went to work.













The BL order's main stuff was grey for the rock wall, but I also got some green plates and other miscellaneous stuff.  I used almost half of the grey bricks I ordered, meaning I'll need to get more before I'm able to complete baseplate #4 which hasn't even been started yet.  Fortunately I think I have enough green plates for now.

Looking good, as the French would say: "Croissants n'est pas rein"

[Natalya]

Keeping on building the battlefield.  Keeping on building the armies.

[Captain-Camper]

Looks so good!

[Natalya]

As a new battlefield is constructed, the last remains of an old one are slowly dismantled to have their briks recycled.




The first 4 sections are now complete.  I posed some guys for fun.







I haven't been this excited about Lego in years.  

[Cakeman]

Looks absolutely fantastic! Just the size of a build like that makes it look good, and you have pulled off some excellent shaping on top of that. I'm in awe. I have to put together a seal of approval.  

[Natalya]

It's not big enough.  I need to add more baseplates.

It's not big enough.  I need to add more baseplates.

How big do you plan on making it? Its   so far

Those are some beautiful IM troops. Also, magic peaches, every Assyrian on the planet must be having an aneurysm.

[Natalya]

Today I built more IM soldiers.  First I worked on the Artifact Recovery and Acquisitions (ARA) team.   I built 5 more guys, two of them got the shotguns, one of them got some kind of size 2 shard gun, and then I gave two of them size-3 shard cannons.  Those guys obviously are compensating, but the IM is going to need heavy weapons in this battle.




I made two more of these heavy sniper guys, and I modded their guns.  These snipers are size 2.  You'll notice on their backpacks each of these guys has one stick grenade.  They can use those if enemy close-combat troops try to get too close.




And I built some more of the regulars.  I haven't been able to source the special visors RedRover uses, so they've just got normal ones.  I gave three of these guys the Zaffre-6 sniper rifles, which I think are supposed to be reserved for sniper teams, but I don't have the parts to build their regular shard rifles.  

I now have 27 IM dudes.  I'll probably stop at 40 and see about using other factions as allies.  I have like 100 ASE guys, who will be the primary opponent of the IM, so I've gotta bulk up the IM team with more dudes and hopefully mechs or vehicles.
