Blood Falcons- Future or the past?

Post by Killer Karetsu » Sun Jul 25, 2010 7:47 am

Okay, I've been thinking long about what kind of army would I make. After many checkings of colour schemes and that kind of stuff, I ended up on:
--Blood Phoenix Clan--(credit for the name goes to mm233)
Okay, you can still poll if you want but
I'M FIRST MAKING THE MEDIEVALS AND THEN THE FUTURE ONES.

I've made a backround story and took pics.

Backgroundstory(updated!):

Long ago, in a distant planet, lived a normal minifig race, but it was in a primitive age. When they had advanced and even invented fire, came the Phoenixes. They are a ancient race, which had long been searching a planet where would be a untouched race, which they would lead to powers and untold secrets.. Before they found the planet they called the "Red haven" because the planet had many volcanoes and was untouched by the barbarity of others, they had only encountered barbaric, warlike races and only once they thought that one race (they are going to be Blood Phoenix Clans archenemies, still thinking that what would they look like and so on) would be worthy of their secrets, and they taught them all of their knowledge, only to be betrayed and almost massacred. But the "Red Havens" race was very promising: they did not make war at each other, and killed only for food. And so it was to be, that the Phoenixes chose them, but this time they would teach them slowly, and that had at least two big benefits: They could stop the teaching if necessary, and the people of the " Red Haven " started to treat them as gods.

That's all for now, next will be the history of the medieval age of the Blood Phoenix clan.
Hope this was a better backround.


The future Blood Phoenix Clan are the same as medievals, expept they have more advanced technology.



Pics. Most of my legos are in Finn_Strikers house, because we have a big zombie battle, and becuase then I don't have to always transport them there. So only two figs(and they are the same with different equipment lol.

Image
A medieval Blood falcon with no equipment. Ignore the body, I only choose it because I don't have a Black Falcon body and this has the same colours. I probably use the plain old heads with black eyes and a smile.

Image
With weapons. The shield is going to be a normal white Black falcon shield. The spear will be brown or Black.

Image
Backshot.

Image
Future Blood Falcon unarmed. The helmet will be black or red or this(dark red). The hands will be red on the red side and black on the black side. Or in another order. The jetpack/airtank is either this or a classic black airtank/s. Visor will be black. Head the same with the medieval.

Image
With the weepon. Its just something which looked nice. It wont be used in the army.

Image
Backshot.

Also:

So, what do you think?

I liked that laser Rifle a whole hell of a lot. I may be pinching this nice idea. I am honestly not too keen on the torso, too much dolphin and not enough Falcon. Also in the back story the Phoenix/Falcon thing is... odd. It wouldn't be so bad if you called the Falcon Torso a Phoenix (one abstract bird design looks pretty much like any other) and maybe had a ton of red/dark red or orange or something on the mini-figure.

As to Castle or Futuristic? Why not both. Use the bullet head castle helmets and make it so you only have to add an air tank and replace the shield for a laser and you have an army that fought in the past only to be reborn to fight in the future. Then you can make loads of cool stuff for them. :D

The assault rifle is awesome and I'm tempted to choose future. The colors work beautifully either way. As Warhead said, though, you can keep both sets of war gear around and switch them easily. Maybe the Blood Falcons sometimes wear medieval uniforms on Low-TekLevel planets?

Thanks for the rifle, and I forgot to say, I am going to buy almost all minifig parts I need from bricklink. Unless you was joking about the dolphin.

And yeah, maybe I'll just dumb the backstory and invent something else, like that the Blood Falcons lived on a planet where were some kind of phoenixes and they were like gods to them. But I personally think that Blood Falcons sounds better than Blood Phoenixes. Or maybe I just spell it wrong :).

Well, at least I'm first making the medieval, unless future gets moar votes. Thats because it's easy to make the old guys and then think who will they advance over time.

And thanks for your kind comments.

Also, the diving pressure gauges are a problem if you're going for the medieval look. Doesn't change the fact that that's an awesome color scheme, though.

Yes it does...

Or, "Blood Phoenix Cult"?

More suggestions about the name?

I think Blood Phoenix works. A blood eagle, as I understand it was an old Pict or Celt custom of death by torture where they would make the eagles spread her wings, the wings were also known as the subjects ribs which is also known as opening the rib cage without the aid of anaesthesia. I tend to think the Blood Phoenix could be the same.

Both, despite the background story and timeline, this is Brikwars, so I say mix ´em up! Swords and guns are plenty of fun! :)

I have an alternate shield design which looks more like a phoenix but then I would need a new body and the white doesn't fit to the colour scheme very much.(yeah, I know that there is whitee in the body :roll: )

Compare:

The new shield:

The olds:
http://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?col ... emID=18014
http://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?col ... emID=18151

Both designs have the same stupid problem that lego hasn't made the bigger versions of them.
