DK Presents: The Core Forces of Nu Arkadia

Post by **Don Kalypso** » Wed Sep 28, 2011 11:13 am

I've taken a look at BrikWars for a few years now, a Yu-Gi-Oh friend of mine introduced me when I expressed my distaste of Warhammer 40k's expensive models. Since then I've tossed around ideas every now and then on how, exactly, to make my mark on the BrikWars world. And now, at long last, I believe I have the solution to my problem, and no it wasn't more lotion (That only worked once).

This is Malus, he is the Lord of Arkadia, only after having killed the previous one in a demonstration of his latest body. Malus is what the Arkadians refer to as an "Ancient," a being of extraordinary powers and longevity. To date he has lived, or at least be conscious for, about three thousand years of war, strife, and body stealing. He was unearthed by the Arkadians after their sensors picked up his Bio-Signature within some ruins on the outskirts of Arkadian territory. After years of experimenting, the scientists were able to revive him, and man was he pissed. He was coerced into working for the Arkadians in exchange for a new body, the rest is history, and included in the Eulogy of the previous Lord of Arkadian, Lord Menot. Alt1, Alt2

This is the General of Arkadia, his name isn't known, and he is simply referred to as "General"

This pic is of Kit Fisto and a standard Ship Team, together they fly and operate the prototype space ships Arkadia had to develop to bring the fight to the alien menace on their turf. Alt1, Alt2

Up next is the standard Walker Team, they utilize a combination of Plasma Canons and Macro-Missiles to help combat the alien menace on land. Alt1

Here is the standard team, three Troopers and a single CO of differing rank, depends on the Co him/herself and his/her preferences on posting. Alt1 (Also within this Alt-Pic is an Alt-Pic of the General)

And now is the pride and joy prototype of the Arkadian Army, the Magna Fighter XLR, containing the latest in Grav-MMs, Photon-based blasters, and R-Unit computers, the MF-XLR is the fastest ship the Arkadians have and is the only unmanned ship capable of extra-atmosphere sorties. Alt1, Alt2, Alt3, Alt4

Here's a shot of all the troops right now, forgot this the first time through.

Edit: I know and understand that as of right now there's little custom content in my army list, this is mainly due to me focusing on LEGO Technic rather than LEGO Brik creations. I'll see what I can do with BrikLink and the low budget I have right now.

Beat up little children*, claim their Lego's as your trophy.

*If they're too tough, call in Colette for help

OH! A question no one seems to be able to answer properly: Malus is about five times the size of your average minifig, and I seek to use him as my Hero unit. The book only addresses minifigs as Heroes, is it possible for a titan like Malus to be a hero unit?

I'll take a look at the pics in a moment, but may I direct you to http://www.fotosizer.com/ first? A good number of our members won't bother to follow your links, unfortunately. Involves too much work.

Also, sure, you just have to assign that attribute to Malus. Adds some CP and he has to have a functioning mental capacity first. He'll just be a bigger target.

Yeah, you prolly tried while I was cleaning up the album. Just posted the smaller sized PNGs. Hope these're better.

Definitely so! Thanks.

Ach, not much personal stuff in there yet, but it has a ton of potential.

I saw the first guy.... and I was hopeful for clone-akkadian army #3 and then I saw starwars.

I apologize for the Star Wars, I'll be making more custom vehicles when I get the parts and time. Unfortunately right now a shitton of my LEGOs are Technic.

Hmm, perhaps I can reconfigure the starship into a car/tank of some kind. I'll see what I can do, mkay?

SW... I must confess, I was expecting something else. More original.

The Bio is ok, but hey, if you have <a href='http://tinyurl.com/y42zurt'>alot</a> of Technic pieces, do like White Nun. Make walkers and mechs with a cockpit for a fig.

Pretty decent, but (even though it has been said 20 times) needs more custom-ness.

Well I share the views of most people before me, I have to say that I like the starship. It's an interesting shape, with an oval-type view, but it still looks quite fast. My problem with your force right now is the lack of cohesion, so maybe add arms/legs/helmets/whatever to your guys to make them a bit more uniform. Also, if you've made any cool things with technic, I'd be happy to see them

Due to an unfortunate strain of LEGO releasing horrible plastics, most of my upper arm and thigh connectors are broken. Luckily, I found my old Star Wars Technic kit, or at least the Dark motor and the then shit car it was connected to. I'll see what I can come up with for it and the Technic connected to it.
