Happy new year! Or, more to the point, happy not that janky old year anymore. We’re all glad that 2020 is finally in our hindsight as the prophecy foretold.

As Zupponn noted a few posts ago, the newsfeed’s been pretty quiet, with none of the usual forum highlight posts since the big Ragnablok blowout extravaganza. The apps we were using to organize the forum highlights stopped working towards the end of 2019, forcing us to muscle our way through with hacked-together spreadsheets through the end of the year, but since then we’ve been focused on other things.

Which isn’t to say the forums have been quiet! Forum battles and story vignettes are still going strong, and highlight photos are still posted to the Pinterest board every week.

Builds, art, community, and general conversation, on the other hand, have moved almost entirely to the BrikWars Discord. The link to the Discord has been hidden away at the bottom of the BrikWars front page for a few years now, but it’s probably time to bring it up top now that it’s replaced the forums as the central meetup location for the community.

In the meantime, here’s a selection of highlights from the forums in 2020!

Reports From the Field: [HH19] BATTLE OF THE KONVERGENCE, by ninja_bait

The Battle of the Konvergence has reached its ultimate end, locking Blue Guy in eternal combat with the Four Horsemen of Ragnablok in the Kanon Ball singularity and driving a stake in the Nehellennium timeline. Minifigs are free once again to move about the universe and adhere to whatever level of kontinuity they wish.

Designed by our very own Valiant – if you ever wished that you had one of his tanks, now’s your chance!

“Rounding off at eight hundred and fifty-five pieces, this vehicle is chock-full of engaging components. The model sports a fully traversable turret, working suspension (best suited to carpet and blanket), a cannon capable of elevation and depression, two opening turret hatches, a four round ready rack (for BrikWars purposes), a turret basket capable of fitting three minifigures, room in the hull for a driver or an LED light kit from BrickStuff, and an accessible engine bay with a removable powerpack.”

Check out the project on Kickstarter and see what it’s all about.
