Alternative Squad Contest

Pirates even had grenades, be creative, maybe....
Pots filled with gunpowder, and i'm pretty sure they could create fire.
That could be a landmine.
Use bows, maybe paint the tips red, so they can be explodey arrows.

Besides, Brikwars isn't about realism.
And as far as a heavy gunner, maybe have a small ballista of three crossbows pulled by a horse.

And the Mayans and the Egyptians? What if I wanted an army of cavemen?

You keep on using this word. I do not think you know what it means. Noobs are generally incompetent people with no morals or values (as in Necromancer heroes). "Newb" (shortened from Newbie) is what I think you are looking for. Master Ecabob has shown no evidence of noobishnis, but is infact a "newbie" because he is new to the forums.

In other words: My camera sucks, which is why none of you know what my army looks like. I would like to enter, but I can't without fuzzy pictures that are indistinguishable. Maybe I could post some pics later.

So if we want a squad of Egyptians or Mayans or something we have to somehow give these cultures a bazooka so we can have an anti-tank squad member? How about a grenadier or heavy gunner? I'm PRETTY sure the Egyptians did not have any guns. I could be wrong.

But I'm not.

Maybe it's just my lack of creativity?

Nonono, you give them bows, longbows, and heavy-support bows.

I shall enter these eight men. (One of them is invisible, his name is Melville and he's a bit shy. The other one, Fredrick, is hiding.)

what if i wanted a squad of monkeys they can't hold guns or ride horses or paint arrows, I've never meet a monkey that can make fire.
oh and before you say a squad of monkeys unrealistik remember brickwars is about death and destruction not minifigure wars why leave monkeys out.

Post by **IVhorseman** » Mon Jan 12, 2009 5:54 pm

But monkeys can totally hold guns.

Oh yes, how could I not have thought about that.

Fredrick is my favorite. I had a Giant African Millipede named Fredrick once. He was smelly.

Yea, they DO have minifig hands, ya know.

Not the same though.

In all honesty, I have no idea where it came from.

Glad to see more interest in this contest, Dr. X I must say that Melville and the Commander are awesome!

Actually J+B, Greenkey is right. Although we are both "newbies" on this forum, we are not "n00bs", a derogatory comment along the lines of "troll".

Really, i'm seriously confused as to what you mean by "gunner only".
They're not ALL gunner's, I have NO idea were you got that. And they can make it in whatever era they want! The only thing limiting them is creativity!

Look my floppy penis, I have no problem with you or with eight man gunner squads (the ones posted in your thread are awesome), but I want to be able to show off a six man squad with a mixed bag of weapons. Why should I have to go out of my way to make my unique creation fit your view of a perfect squad?

Post by **Tarren** » Mon Jan 12, 2009 9:23 pm

Dude really, they're not all gunners, There are two different gunners in that squad, and some of them use the standard issue assualt rifle.

I think by gunner squads he means squads that require guns.
