The Forces of Planet Gordon

I only got back into BrikWars recently, so my force isn't too big. They've had only one or two battles, and I'm still digging through my Heaps (which are now like Brik Graveyards) finding some sort of theme to my army.

Meet Graf Zeppelin, of Atomic Unlimited (formerly Graf Zeppelin's Weapon Shipping Company)
Image

Meet the employees of Atomic Unlimited, a group of post-apocalyptic raiders who work for Zeppelin just because he has the guns. Note the Desert Mutants, and the Cowboy going nuts on the back of the bike. He's their leader, the infamous Perry "Doc" Cox.
Image

This is the best shot I got of the first Gordonian starship. Yeah, my minifigs have a fairly low Tek Level compared to some of the giants here. Atomic Unlimited is using this ship to trade with anyone who is around, which is currently nobody, because the only other planet (run by Zeppelin's vile brother) is at war with Gordon.
Image


Now meet the Holy Icecream Man, and his cadre of Rezqtip Secret Police. They aren't his Secret Police, but with the fall of the Glorious Leader, they decided to join up with him again. Notable benefits include free shades and a spiffy uniform.
Image

Now here's the Holy Icecream Man himself. He wields the Holy Sword, which is really just for looks, and his real weapon, the Joplin, a trumpet which entices minifigs to join his tasty cause.
Image

Here's a closer look at the Rezqtip Secret Police.
Image


Here's "The Boys", a group of horribly lost space soldiers who bring with them carnage and bloodshed while waiting for the dropship that will never arrive. They count as a Heroic Squad, which me and my brother use quite a bit. From Left to Right Rank and Beverage: The Brave Leader (Space Coffee), The Ex-Space Pirate (Space Grog), The Womanizer (Space Beer), and the Serious One (Red Wine, but he's disgusted with it, he ordered Space Beer DAMMIT)
Image

Finally, a little look of the flagship of the Undead First Glorious Leader, Captain Kingkiller, who has come back to kick ass and kick more ass. It's unfinished, but it's coming along. Not shown: Crucifix with Skeleton on it, Captain Kingkiller.
Image

More pics later.

Cool I like it, It reminds me of a move I watched a while ago... then watched it again earlier today but any way, this reminds me of "Treasure Planet" an awesome move in my opinion.

But yes I like the retro rustic with star fighters look and feel.

I see greatness in t'e future o' t'is army, whether t'at by 'n t'e classic manner o' Brikwars, or od'erwise.

By the way its "kick ass and chew bubble gum... and I'm all out of gum"

nice army. Lot's of good movie references, also, I love the whole "Planet-wide Atomic war victor" feel of these guys. It sounds like they are the winners of a nuclear world war. Pipe is awesome too.

Very lulzy Brikwars army, I like the Lost Spacemen but the fact you have a very nicely workable and good looking army made from white and orange torso's shouldn't be overlooked.

Ahah, nice army! Maybe the adepts of the Icecream man could have some weapons, or the poor saps would have to wack their enemies with shades :)
The ship seems to be coming along well, obviously needs some guns, and don't forget that a ship THAT dreaded, needs some super vicious weapons and crew! 8)

I agree about the ship.
But the Icecream man should be proficient in using the deadly icecream scoop on critical damage you scoop out the guys brain or kidney... We need an zombie icecream man now.

And Helicopters army needs helicopters

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the comments. Also, Rezqtip guys will have weapons soon, as well as a better name.

Here's a guy that I was working on last night: Red Rider. Don't really have a backstory for him yet, but here he is on his signature bike.
Image

Then I got a little carried away while trying to make a Hardsuit (and failing), and instead ended up with BATTLE MODE.
Image

Two Flamethrowers, his two normal lasers, two starship class lasers, and two high powered lasers, along with two wings, all made of the mighty Orange Transparent substance. I haven't yet done the stats for this.

That's all for now. More later![/b]

If he fires them all at once, he could fly across the whole battlefield.

that happens to me <a href='http://tinyurl.com/y42zurt'>alot</a>! Im planning on building something and it turns another way around. Still, battle mode kicks ass!

Very cool. I never know where I'm gonna' end up when I star building. It's part of the fun.

Well, shoot. I've run into a bump with The Angry Hangman (the red ship). I can't find any bodies for the zombie pirates that work; all my pirate bodies have popped collars and yellow skin showing. I'll update tomorrow with The Angry Hangman regardless, crew or no.

Presenting the newest weapon in the RezCue army:
THE HAND OF GOD.
Image
Image
Includes a mount in case arms get tired.
Image

Also, a rough fig of what may one day become UNDEAD CAPTAIN KINGKILLER.

1: love the Battle mode.
2: "Hand of God" is the most inconspicuous briefcase I have ever seen!
3: Does zombie King sir Killsalot eat his victims with or with out ketchup?

so far vary cool and hope you can get a hardsuit build that suits your standards.

Graf Zeppelin is hiring all sorts of derps and herps in preparation for both the Immortal War and for the inevitable conflict with Captain Kingkiller. The Holy Icecream Man has gone missing, so the RezCue team has joined with Zeppelin.

There are three snipers,
Image

two scouts,
Image

and three sawmen
Image

A special RezCue force is being prepared, but some are still being fitted for outfits.
Image

Here's his team of Mercenaries, posing as a team.
Image

And here's the man himself, Graf Zeppelin, donning the armor of The Red Knight, using an OT Visor, and wielding an OTC.
Image

And here's the progress on The Angry Hangman:
Image
Not shown: The inside has some chests in it, later bins for weapons. Also, there is not yet a crew, and it needs weapons. But the main ship is done :D
