Tom loves to build wooden models and so he was tasked to take on the future trade and build matching models to his ideas. He built the trade cantor and a nice idea of a ship-through. So Tom became the expert in the field of trading strategy for the Klan. Young and wild - but smart and well-read.

On Noordimma, my island on the Nine Kingdoms RPG which I play on www.RogueBricks.de, they were in need of a watchtower.

After a few weeks the werk was done on the island and the Clan of Normen had their first tower, based near their first settlement Hammvåsta. This tower will be part of a bigger wall which will be build later in the RPG.

Just a small castle build again and nothing special. Loved to put the viking minifigs in it and to build a little bit castle again.

Living in the caves guarantees safety from the Guild, however it goes without saying that spending too much time down there can have quite the effect on one's physical and mental health. Thus Charlotte made regular visits to the surface, often times exploring the vast lushlands that bordered her caves. Whenever she came across an interesting or useful location, she'd add it to her map and jot down a quick description of the place in her journal - living near the border of two wildly different biomes supplied her with no shortage of these spots. One such location was an area dense with wooden pillars and odd, floating windows of sorts. Charlotte could not determine neither it's past nor it's purpose, and so had simply christened it the "Lushland oddity."

-------------------------------------------

I'm using the wombo art app way too much 😅

I'm working on a video right now for my YouTube channel and just needed a small break from all the photography and editing. So I made this guy, a small vignette for the Quantum Lands RPG as well as my entry to Space Jam in the 12x12 category. It was definitely inspired by some ai-generated art pieces created with the wombo app. There's nothing too special about this MOC, but I will probably use that column technique again sometime. Let me know what you guys think of it!

Feedback is always appreciated,

Happy Building!

For the 3rd Birthday of our LEGO RPG we need to build a character which takes part in an adventure campaign.

Meet Lamira Adan and his horned bear Beor.

If you wanna join the campaign go to: www.RogueBricks.de

Campaign:

(roguebricks.de/forum/index.php?thread/2011-contest-kampag...)

"CastleContest" with 6 interesting categories:

roguebricks.de/forum/index.php?thread/2010-roguecontest-d...

Sixth and last entry for the actual castle contest "Nine Kingdoms - Blades of Light" on "www.RogueBricks.de"

This one shows a fight in a one of the cities of Kurvenheim, a land of the Nine Kingdoms.

(For this one I had 3 hours. Building onder pressure isn't my thing if you want to to it really good, with a lot of details, but I am happy that I made it anyway.

First entry for the contest of the new Nine Kingdoms I am playing at www.RogueBricks.de

It shows a transport cart for some items the soldiers may need for the war against the monsters.

Fourth entry for the actual castle contest "Nine Kingdoms - Blades of Light" on www.RogueBricks.de"

This one shows the production of cannonballs and parts for weaponry and amor.

Again a small MOC for the Online RPG we are playing on the German LUG www.RogueBricks.de

This time the challenge was to build somethings with orcs and how they live. Based on the earlier storytelling of @-wat- I figured out the landscape, trees and figures.

I really loved to put some other 'faces' of HP and SW into this MOC.

„Did we get on the wrong shuttle? This feels an awful lot like vacation.“ Linx chimed through the com link. „Tell them when we’re back at camp, maybe they can get the breakfast buffet ready.“ Bruiser groaned, half amused, half annoyed. He was walking a few meters behind me and his armor shone in the morning light as the sun slowly rose above the endless fields of Dantooine. This indeed did not feel like the action packed, dangerous mission command had sold it as. The dark acolyte the Legion had encountered on Rhen Var was supposed to hide here somewhere, but as long as he wasn’t a shape shifter that had turned into a bird, there was no sign of him anywhere. Every once in a while I took a look through the scope of my rifle, but there was nothing to see apart from a few mice and rabbits among the grass and the occasional bird flying overhead. This was by far the most boring patrol we’d done in ages, though, admittedly, with one of the best views. Something told me I’d miss it, once we were in action again, but right then I’d gladly had been shot at by a battalion of droids, just to escape the monotony. „Alright boys, let’s get back to camp. Breakfast should be ready any time now.“ „Any idea what’s on the menu today, Sarge?“ Linx laughed, knowing full well it’d be the same tasteless ration cubes as every day. „I’d say Roba sausages and Mon Cala algae salad.“ Bruised was in a good mood after all. „I’ll have a Nerf steak and fried eggs then.“ Linx answered. „And you, Sarge?“ I hesitated for a moment. It had been a while since I had some solid, tasty food and for a second I could not remember the taste of any of it. „I’d love some chicken.“ I finally chimed, pointing at one of the birds nearby. „Lucky you, ration cubes all taste like it anyway.“ Linx laughed, though, for a moment we all wished the cubes really had a flavor to them and be it only chicken.

___________________

My foot injury has healed and I finally managed to finish my entry for mission 2.1 of the 253rd Elite Legion. Not sure, whether I can whip up the other parts of the mission in time, though. Anyway, I hope you had a tasty breakfast today and can enjoy a view like Dantooine this summer somewhere.

Location: Industrial District, Coruscant

Welcome back! Here's my entry to the first of many monthly challenges in The Survivors RPG! This month's challenge is 12x12.

If you are interested in joining this ongoing RPG, check us out here: www.flickr.com/groups/thesurvivorsrpg/

I've been wanting to experiment more with Coruscant building, and various wall techniques, so you may spot some new techniques used on this build. I am not sure if anyone has previously used the cheese wedge technique how I use it here, but if anyone has, let me know so I can give credit.

This MOC was heavily inspired by Rogue One concept art, so shout out to Andrée Wallin who drew the concept art inspiring this build.

I decided to keep a lowkey story for this one, so hopefully it's not a boring read. Let me know what you think in the comments below. I have many more builds coming soon, so stay tuned for some more epic concept art-inspired builds!

Feel free to give a fave, and drop a follow if you haven't already.

Hey all!

Almost finished my latest RPG MOC! Here's a quick preview shot of the upcoming build.

Location: Sorgan

///Log Entry\\\

“After the events yesterday, I was glad to see my good friend IG-77. If you haven’t already heard, I went to Sorgan to test my new speeder. Needless to say I was ambushed by a clan of Klatooian Raiders who shot me and stole my speeder.

IG-77 ran to my aid and gave me some cold milk, and bandaged my wounds. After that we returned to the Survivor base. Hopefully these wounds will heal before our next mission.”

After failing to steal the much needed supplies on Mygeeto, we went back into hiding. This time in the middle of nowhere. This time, we set up a facility on the astroid Poliss Massa, floating in an asteroid field, protecting the base from ships trying to land. Just in case we do have some unwelcome visitors, I’ve been tasked with getting the old outdated turrets working again. The only fun part of the task is jumping around in the reduced gravity in a space suit.- Túrin Dura •

One of my entries for @darktimesgroup target

„New orders, boys!“ I shouted over the hammering sound of the cannon operated by Mag’ro. „We’re to regroup at the waterside. The Trandos have positioned themselves between the village and the island ahead, where the 3rd regiment is now trapped.“ An explosion shook the tree as Mag’ro took down another hovercraft. „Damn Trandos! What’s the plan?“ „The Wookies are attempting to meet them on the water. We’ll join them. Pack up!“ Burning shrapnel was raining down onto the platform and small fires were eating away at the tree. It was the ideal moment to leave. „No time for taking the stairs. Quick exit strategy!“ I shouted. We had trained this a hundred time on Kamino: quick descent using the harpoon cables of our blasters. Our feet hit the sand and we sprinted to the beach, dodging bullets. A Wookie was waving at us. „That’s our ride boys!“ I pointed at a small, sleek boat. We had read about these crafts in the briefing. They had been hand crafted by Wookies ages ago. Wookie culture was all about honoring your ancestors, so nothing was ever destroyed or dissembled. Instead, each and anything crafted in ancient times was re-used, re-fitted and improved for modern use. In this case this meant nothing more than that a huge propeller engine had been strapped to the fragile fishing vessel. „You can’t be serious…“ Mag’ro sighed. „I always wanted a yacht!“ Koi was much more excited than him apparently. The engine of the boat was already running and it was just being held in place by one Wookie. „All aboard! Koi, you take starboard, Mag’ro, backboard. I’ll steer!“ „Aye, aye, Lieutenant!“ We jumped onto the boat and the Wookie let go. The craft jumped forward, the power of the engine finally released from the grip of the warrior. Shab, Wookies were strong indeed. „Alright, boys, the chieftain is waiting for us! let’s find his ship and make sure we reach the Trandos together! It is time to show these lizard di’kuts what happens when you mess with our fuzzy friends!

__________________________

You can’t imagine how much fun it was to build this thing! I always loved the design of the Wookies vehicles in Revenge of the Sith, especially the catamaran. I kind of borrowed some techniques form the 2005 Lego rendition of it, too. This mission entry probably violates all rules of the 253rd Legion, but I could help but go all out on this one. I hope you like it as much as I do!

Here's a quick preview shot of my upcoming mission 2 build!

Note: This is not my build! This is AN_ABEL_BUILDER’s moc he wanted me to post for my RPG. He does not own a Flickr account, so that is why I am posting it here. The rating given for this build is rated by me, but remember this is not my build. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for understanding!

Welcome back!

Here is the backstory for this build.

Location: Tatooine

///Log Entry\\\

“The road was hard. Just getting to the Imperial base took ages. We, or should I say I, traveled by foot with my bulky fusion engine on my back. The suns that day brought scorching heat, and devastated the fresh air I was looking forward too...well, that’s if Tatooine ever has any fresh air.

Our mission was to place bombs around the abandoned, yet heavily used Imperial base. It wasn’t quite abandoned, but that’s what the authorities had told us.

Once I reached the edge of the base I contacted some of the other mission leaders. Hozz, a good friend of mine, told me the rest of the gang was heading for the other side of the building. I was assigned to distract some of the Imperial stormtroopers who were scouting the perimeter of the base.

Thirty minutes later I was told this, “...soldiers, fire at any enemy forces you come in contact with...we want this mission done and over with!” It was council leader Juan Aarons who contacted me. Well let’s just say I did what was asked.”

///End Log\\\

This entry is being given a rating of 55, by me, the admin of the RPG. This rating does not affect any of my builds towards the RPG.

This is the last of the three posts by AN_ABEL_BUILDER posted here on my account. The other two posts can be found on my page.

These three builds were a blast to take pictures of! They are probably some of my best pictures that I’ve done before. We had an amazing time entering the RPG. I might be posting some future builds by this friend, but definitely not until the first mission in the RPG is over.

Beru joined the Survivors after her friend and former Survivor, Claire Dareth died. Now Beru is one of the fiercest fighters in the band of Rebels, and always brings her a-game to the fighting scene.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IG-77

Planet: (none)

IG-77 was built for the purpose of destruction, but soon he (or it) realized that he could be more. Once he escaped Imperial prison--for the third time--he renamed himself and added two more arms for extra fighting skills. He now works alongside many of the other Survivors in their quest to crush the Imperial outcasts.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zach

Planet: Yavin

Zach is a weapons executive who specializes in tracking down and analyzing enemy data. He is a native of Yavin, and was a former A-Wing pilot. He uses a blue lightsaber for his weapon of choice. He is also the leader of the Survivor group.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kevin Yam

Planet: Trandosha

Kevin is a high-tech weapons designer who uses his military skills to combat the spread of the late Imperial reign. He is on the Board of Directors for the Survivor group, and he keeps a keen eye on all suspicious activity related to the government.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Juan Aarons

Planet: Endor

Juan was known as one of the fiercest warriors in the galaxy before the fall of the Empire. But after the fall he went into hiding. The Survivor group found him and enlisted him into their cause.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I will have my sig-fig speeder bike build out hopefully by tomorrow. If you would like to join this RPG, make sure to check out the link below.

Alt shot of my latest RPG assignment build: www.flickr.com/photos/188448355@N04/50815172666/in/datepo...

Location: Tatooine

Mission 1 - Espionage on Tatooine

///Log Entry\\\

"Our mission was to scout out an abandoned Imperial base on Tatooine, and place bombs around the perimeter.

Once we got to the surface, we quickly rounded up our soldiers and planned the attack, or rather our espionage. Four stormtroopers were spotted scouting the horizon, but we quickly overtook them and moved ahead with the mission.

We reached the base with around ten armed men and some extra artillery. The base was heavily armed, so we needed all the help we could get. Hozz, Kalira, and Konn planned to assist us on our mission, so we met up and reviewed our strategy.

After much talk, I decided it was best for me to go alone and place a bomb at the west side of the main building.

The suns were scorching that day, and the travel really wore me out. Despite that I trudged on to finish the mission. I got to my designated area and took out the bomb I designed in my lab. I bent down, dropped the bomb, started the timer, and ran.

About one hour later we returned to our rendezvous point. We waited about ten minutes before we heard the blast. The blast rose high into the sky. About three fourths of the building was utterly ruined. We accomplished the mission."

///End Log\\\

This is my entry into the first mission in "The Survivors" RPG! This build took a long time to finish since I've been working on a few future projects, as well as a collab with one of my friends.

Look forward to more builds coming soon in this mission, and if you are interested in this RPG, check out the link below.

Feel free to let me know what you think of this build in the comments below! :)

[Mission Log 000, Sergeant Sakana]

No matter what they say, you can never trust intel. This lab should have been an easy target. Single layer bio-hazard doors, only two back-up systems for the alarm and no more than 20 clankers on the first levle, my shab. We almost ran out of thermal wire after the third heavy blast door and we had to take out the main generator to stop the alarm a fourth time. And as for the clankers, there seems to be a whole battalion down here. Anyway, orders are orders and we will see this thing through.

„Open Circle Command, this is Blue Squad, we cleared the first level. I repeat, first level, all clear!“

__________________________

After years of not participating in any RPG group, I decided to give it another try and apply for the 253rd Elite Legion. I am curious what will come out of it and how active I'll be. I am probably most excited to write some clone wars era stories again, especially, since I will try to write them by old canon rules, in a Republic Commando kind of style. Let's hope I get accepted.

Yeah, yeah. Another update to my Survivor sig-figs. Wanted to change some things up and reevaluate each character. Some parts of their backstories have changed as well. Enjoy, and drop a comment below!

Location: Pink Forests, Kioko

Objective: Intercept Imperial cargo hand-off

Time Period: One month after "Riots on Coruscant"

Build: 12x12 Challenge Entry (no rating)

Log User: Beru Wen

Language: Basic

///LOG ENTRY\\\

"I was sent on a minimal, insignificant mission to the Pink Forests of Kioko. I've not had too many missions lately, so receiving a small assignment from Zach was nothing surprising to me....

Upon landing in the Ozark Deserts on the western side of Kioko, I began surveillance of the surrounding area, trying to find where in the world the hand-off was taking place. High Command could not provide any significant information about the hand-off due to a few malfunctioned messaging discs. Seems like our group could use a little tech upgrade.

About two hours later, walking through densely populated pink forests, I suddenly tripped over a low branch which lay directly in front of me. Grabbing the tough, sandy ground, I was able to quickly regain balance, and in good time. A squad of Imperial stormtroopers, about twenty meters off, began rushing towards me. I had found the hand-off.

Immediately, the cross fire began. Ducking, leaping, just trying to use my amazing talent to dodge the attack from the enemy. Good thing I brought along my newly forged invisible saber. It comes in very handy... Maybe I should create one for Kevin some time.

After all the troops were taken care of I strode to the place where the cargo rested. Looked like a few simple containers, and after unlocking each box, I reached in. What I saw was incredible...Several small crystals, kyber crystals if I am correct, were held in each box. Maybe Nightfall was right.... The Imperials have something planned, and it's not good."

Welcome back! Here's my second entry to the first of many monthly challenges in The Survivors RPG! This month's challenge is 12x12.

If you are interested in joining this ongoing RPG, check us out here: www.flickr.com/groups/thesurvivorsrpg/

This was a quick 1hr build that I whipped up today. Wanted to expand more of my sig-figs stories, because Beru Wen was on my mind and I hadn't already used her in many builds already. The terrain for this MOC was prep for an upcoming build from concept art from The Rise of Skywalker movie. The pink tree came together using some older, already broken trees from previous builds. Hopefully it looks pretty good--I'm always lacking those brown whips.

The planet this build takes place on is 100% fictional and is not connected to any particular existing Star Wars planet.

Feel free to give a fave, and drop a follow if you haven't already. I have a lot more stuff coming soon, so stay tuned!

„Go, go, go!“, I screamed at Koi as we climbed out of the impromptu exit of the facility, which he had blasted into the rock. The timers were set to 15 minutes and we had to get the shab out of there. Outside we were greeted by heavy blaster fire. The last remaining Vandosians had set up their snipers and E-webs amidst the debris on the battlefield. They weren’t even trying to hit us, but aimed for the smaller Kyber crystal formations, causing dangerous explosions, whenever they hit them. This was worse than a minefield. We sprinted along wrecks of LAATs, trying to keep our heads down as much as possible. „Looks like we get to see a firework after all!“ Koi laughed, but I could hear the strained undertone in his voice. Bang! Something like a hammer hit my chest. Gasping for breath, I was hurled backwards and landed flat on my back. This was it. I expected the pain any second now. „Get up, Sir! No time for a nap!“. Koi brought me to my feet. I checked my armor status and it was still sealed and intact. Then I registered the smoking crater just a meter in front of me and the smoking surface layer of my breast plate, which had been melted by the hot shrapnel. „Haar’chak! The paint is ruined!" „With all due respect, get the shab going, Sir!“ Koi pushed me. Another blaster round missed my helmet by mere centimeters to prove his point. „Right, let’s go!“ We sprinted on. As we approached the rendezvous point, still under heavy fire, the LAAT waiting for us looked more beautiful than ever before to me.

______________________________________

My entry for the final part of mission 16. A rather quick build, but a fun one nonetheless. I definitely enjoy building action sequences like this!

previous part

Location: Trask

Objective: Observe Imperial hand-off

Time Period: 2 week after "Riots on Coruscant"

Build: Assignment (no rating)

Language: Basic

///LOG ENTRY\\\

///END LOG\\\

This is my latest build which is a part of The Survivors RPG! Had a ton of ideas of how to execute my assignment, and I'm really enjoying the end result. This MOC took around three days to complete, which was quite a surprise on my end.

I've tried to incorporate as many pro-techniques in this creation, as well as provide an appealing atmosphere and story. I also ended up altering the feel of the planet by including a snowy environment, however I did keep the usual docks and ocean.

Credit goes to MSIndustries who created this assignment, and really had a great vision for the build.

Hopefully you liked this build as much as I do, and if you did, make sure to drop a follow and comment.

Not sure what my next post will be, but it should be something good... ;)

Just a small build for the online RPG 'Nine Kingdoms' on the German LUG www.RogueBricks.de

Location: Coruscant

Objective: Quell Riots

///LOG ENTRY\\\

"The fire has spread. No, I don't mean the literal fire I spoke about in my previous mission. Verbal fire between angry citizens and Imperial forces has sparked several riots. My assignment was to quell some of the rioting happening on the streets of Coruscant, but I knew the job would be difficult to accomplish.

First, I met up with Ttaz Kor to discuss our target. We decided I would venture to the downtown districts of Coruscant and see what was going on. After reaching the main district, turning a couple corners, and dodging an Imperial squad patrol, I reached the main section of the rioting.

The Imperials had blocked off all citizen foot and speeder traffic coming into one of the main Imperial sectors. A large crowd of various species and humans had gathered to protest against the Imperial reign.

After some time idling by the drink shop, I walked up to a nearby reprogrammed battle droid and asked it what was happening.

"Several riots have come out today, this one being the main attraction," it said, "it looks like some of the citizens are about to shoot a patrol trooper. Might want to stop them."

"I'll see what I can do," I replied. The life of Coruscant is always about the hustle and bustle, but today was one of the worst crowded days I have seen in years.

"What are you doing, wookie?" I shouted to the shooter. Only yelps resounded after. I jumped on the wookie, grabbed the gun and threw it in the face of the crowd. Yeah, that was a bad idea. One of the patrol troopers walked over to me and grabbed my arm, forcing me to come with him.

"You are being arrested for instigating trouble against the Imperials," the trooper growled. He walked me over to the closest officer, and he did not seem very pleased to see me.

"Ah, Zach. You are a very sneaky boy. You formed this group--The Survivors--ah, I remember. Well, fear no more. The Imperials have you now," he barked. I knew what I had to do. They had not removed my dual-bladed lightsaber from under my armor. Quickly removing it from its resting place, I activated it and cut the trooper beside me. The officer fell after."

///END LOG\\\

This is my entry into the second round of the latest tournament run in The Survivors RPG! I had a lot of fun creating the different characters and poses, so I am super pleased with the end result. This build and theme for the tournament were greatly influenced by some of the events that took place over the past year.

This round I am competing against synth3sis.

Make sure to leave some feedback in the comments below. Any follows and comments are greatly appreciated, and really encourage me to continue building. I will try to post a summary post for 2020, so look forward to that.

Some figs from one of my RPG builds: www.flickr.com/photos/188448355@N04/50736427373/in/datepo...

Had a lot of fun creating these, so any comments are welcome.

„You may think they are less trouble than the Nulls, but I can assure you, these ARCs aren’t any less capable or independent than my boys. Don’t be fooled into thinking they’ll obey your every order just like any ordinary trooper does. They were made to think on their own on the battlefield, so tell me one good reason, why they should stop doing it at any other time? Be good to them and they’ll serve you well, mistreat them and they’ll come at your throat even before I do.“

Pushing the boat’s engine to the limit, we reached the Wookie chieftain’s craft just in time. A swarm of smaller crafts had encircled the Trandoshan cruiser and furry Wookies and white armored clones were descending onto the main deck from all sides. Swiftly we joined the boarding party and set foot on the ship. It was our job to keep their forces busy on the main deck and thus distract them from the rescue and tech teams doing their work below deck. „Time to fry some lizards!“ Mag’ro shouted as he loaded his gun. „You know they grow their limbs back, don’t you?“ Koi chimed in. „Does he ever shut up, Sir?“ „Only when he’s dead.“ I replied to Mag’ro’s remark. We spread out, expecting the green lizards to jump at us any time now. But the red blaster fire that met us was coordinated and rhythmic, very unlike the vagabond Trandos. „Seems the got some express parcel from the seps!“ Koi yelled, as he emptied his magazine into the first of the battalion of shiny B1 Battledroids coming our way. „Let’s send them back properly then!“ But that was more difficult than expected. The droids had manned canons along the deck and kept coming no matter how many we took down. „Koi, get to that console and disable the canons!“ I shouted as I shielded my head from raining shrapnel. „On it!“ Koi sprinted to the console closest to our position. „Dikut’la Trando design. Where’s the power switch?“ he muttered as he pushed a bunch of buttons at random. Suddenly a screeching sound could be heard and a dozen metal blinds in the ships hull opened slowly. A cacophony of growls and screams could be heard as hundreds of Wookies in the cages behind them saw sunlight for the first time in weeks. „Not the canons, but it makes for a motivating chant!“ Koi said, as he continued working on the console. But I didn’t even really listen to him. For a moment I was completely occupied by the spectacle that unfolded before me. The Wookies were reaching through the steel bars of their cages and grabbed any droid they could reach. Literally single handedly they tore the metal terrors to pieces. The tides had turned! „Don’t let the Wookies do all the work alone!“ I yelled and started firing again.

A very basic and quick build for mission 18.3. I kinda stole the Wookies behind cages idea from the other great entries submitted thus far. I hope you like it!

Location: Coruscant; Core Worlds

///Log Entry\\\

“After the death of Claire Dareth, one of my fellow Survivor friends, I was assigned to take her place. All evidence of her death is lost to Imperial hands. Just a few days back stormtroopers invaded one of the Survivor bunkers on Yavin. They utterly ransacked the building and stole the comlink and hologram of Claire’s last words before she died.

A few weeks later I was assigned to the planet Coruscant. Widespread Imperial uprising is taking place there, although not too much to require all members of the Survivor group to venture that far into the galaxy. I have word that the next mission is to be on some mountainous planet, but I’m not sure if I’m supposed to say that…

Anyways, my assignment was to disrupt trade among some Imperials and local outlaws. Their operations were located somewhere along the outskirts of the planet.

As soon as I reached Coruscant I unloaded my cargo shuttle and headed towards the action. Not too long after I arrived, several Imperials were spotted scouting the nearby loading area.

I raised my blaster and declared, “I am from the Survivor group. Surrender your weapons or face defeat.”

The stormtroopers just laughed and opened fire. My left arm was almost shot right through had it not been for a droid casually strolling along my path… A few minutes of fire continued, and then one last special forces Imperial trooper remained.

“Going somewhere?” he asked.

“Nah, just destroying this insignificant operation. You guys should really consider what you’re after… is it money, or total control of the government of all systems? You might want to warn your master, never mess with the Survivors.” I said the last part with zeal as I killed the last remaining Imperial occupant in the area.

Much of what was left-over by the Imperials was either trashed or scavenged for resources. On the way back to my ship, I dropped by the local cantina and relaxed with some warm blue milk. Another successful mission is now completed… Can’t wait to see what Zach will assign next.”

A build and short story piece for the Star Wars Factions RPG - Episode IV: Reign of the Night Prince.

Toothpick is a recurring character from my finished comic book "Flight of the Phoenix"

The Flame of Zhar - Syndicate is one of the player factions on SW Factions. We're always happy to welcome new builders of all skill. Feel free to DM me!

Built for my continuous story "Flight of the Phoenix" in the SW Factions RPG game.

This is a major overhaul of my public transport from more than a year ago. I'm using it here a s a background prop for the story, but makes a good shape in flight mode too!

The Flame of Zhar syndicate is recruiting! DM me, join an active and supportive community of Lego Star Wars builders and share your builds and stories in an immersive and rich Lego Star Wars universe!

Bang! The ground shook. Koi and I immediately snapped into defensive positions, DC up, pressing against the closest wall for cover. „Approximatly 4 clicks south. Sounded like a thermal explosion.“ Koi really was an expert on demolition. „Ours or theirs?“ „Remember, none-lethal, so definitely theirs.“ I answered, my DC still raised. I could see a wall of smoke extending towards us through the street. „Switch to infrared.“ My HUD image flickered and suddenly I could see the remaining protestors as vague red and green patterns. „Tinnies, about 20, inbound on our position!“ Koi shouted. I knew. The characteristic clink-clank of marching droids was coming from the smoke in front of us. „Fall back, take cover. Check orbital observation.“ „Already on it, but we have no signal.“ „They can’t possibly jam us at that distance, the orbital station is right above us.“ „Must have taken it.“ Koi was a quick thinker. „I’d say impossible, but then again were facing a battalion of clankers with only riot gear, so it’s really not a day for impossibilities.“ Sergeant Jester came on the comm with more of a situation assessment than an explanation. „New orders, we are to advance and take out the droids or fall back and shield civilians.“ „Your call?“ „Civis.“ I loaded my DC. The first droids emerged from the smoke and immediately started firing. People came running our way, desperately trying to get behind me and my energy shield. „Any chance I can get a bigger one of these?“ I asked, emptying my clip into a droid about to mow down a group of civis on the sidewalk. „Actually, you can.“ „I though, no…. what?“ „Ray shields, GAR facility, inner perimeter.“ I was getting more fond of Koi by the minute. „Perfect!“ Still under fire we moved back, picking up civis on the way. „You found a girlfriend, Koi?“ A woman was clinging to him in desperation. „She’s grabbing my…“ „I don’t even want to know! Now get these ray shields running!“ Adrenaline made you say funny things. What did having a girlfriend even mean? I had no idea. I dropped the though, along with the next clanker coming across my DC. The shields came to life with a buzzing sound. Now it was my turn to push back the threat!

_________________________

A new build for the 253rd Elite Legion and the next one is soon to come, too!

Note: This is not my build! This is AN_ABEL_BUILDER’s moc that he wanted me to post for my RPG. He does not own a Flickr account, so that is why I am posting it here. The rating given for this build is rated by me, but remember this is not my build. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for understanding!

Welcome back!

Here is the backstory for this build.

Location: Dathomir

///Log Entry\\\

“Moff Drago, an ex-Imperial, relocated his forces to the unknown planet of Dathomir. Not that Dathomir was uninhabited or anything, but the common citizen under the Imperial rule had almost no knowledge of its existence. I was sent on a mission, by the Survivor group, to scout out some of the Imperial remains on the planet.

The terrain was rough and spiky. I was glad I brought my jetpack because of this. Not too long after I reached the Imperial base, I was sent this message, “Quinn, get to the base! We have spotted several Imperial forces coming your way. Continue with your mission, and may the force be with you!” It was council leader Zach who contacted me.

After some more time had passed, I went forward with what I planned to do. The base, somewhat destroyed somewhat intact, was my target. I was to take out the main reactor engine powering the weapons factory. This way, the ex-Imperials would have much less ammunition on hand for future attacks.

Before I could get to the reactor, I had to cross a small yet heavily guarded bridge. This bridge led to the reactor. The bridge connected the southside of the building to the reactor.

Once on the bridge, I encountered the enemy. A squad of eight Imperial stormtroopers met my path. I quickly ignited my jetpack, and flew high above the ground. Two shots rang out, leaving all the enemy dead and myself having some pain in my left arm.

I reached the reactor, with much effort since I just injured my arm. Finally, after much struggle, I reached my desired destination. I placed a mid-scale bomb on one of the engine modules, and set it and ran, or actually flew. My mission was complete. My next assignment was something on Tatooine…I think”

This is his second post into the RPG, but it is his first entry. His character post can be found here: www.flickr.com/photos/188448355@N04/50349298566/in/datepo...

This entry is being given a rating of 58, by me, the admin of the RPG. This rating does not affect any of my builds towards the RPG.

The build was really interesting to watch him build. We had a few ideas in mind, changed the planet, but in the end the build looks really good. I haven't seen too many Dathomir builds, so the idea was pretty hard to figure out.

There is still another build made by AN_ABEL_BUILDER coming soon in a few days. If you are interested in this RPG, please visit the link below.

Just a small vignette, which shows what Lady van Gooch is doing while her man is fighting for the country somewhere far, far away. Maybe he looses an ear?

Yet another update to my The Survivors RPG sig-fig squad! I bought the Sig-fig Upgrade from Weemo's Market, so you can find my new fig in here. Below are the backstories for these guys, starting from the far left.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Beru Wen

Planet: Coruscant

Beru joined the Survivors after her friend and former Survivor, Claire Dareth died. Now Beru is one of the fiercest fighters in the band of Rebels, and always brings her a-game to the fighting scene.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IG-77

Planet: (none)

IG-77 was built for the purpose of destruction, but soon he (or it) realized that he could be more. Once he escaped Imperial prison--for the third time--he renamed himself and added two more arms for extra fighting skills. He now works alongside many of the other Survivors in their quest to crush the Imperial outcasts.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jeff

Planet: Coruscant

Born on the busy world of Coruscant, Jeff lived a life of crime and greed. After much hardship in his life, he decided to move on to other occupations. He tried out space traffic patrol, but that dissatisfied him.

A few years after the warlords took over much of the Coruscant government, Jeff devoted his being to the cause of the Survivor group. He now works alongside Beru and IG-77 on secret missions and assignments.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kevin Yam

Planet: Trandosha

Kevin is a high-tech weapons designer who uses his military skills to combat the spread of the late Imperial reign. He is on the Board of Directors for the Survivor group, and he keeps a keen eye on all suspicious activity related to the government.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zach

Planet: Yavin

Zach is a weapons executive who specializes in tracking down and analyzing enemy data. He is a native of Yavin, and was a former A-Wing pilot. He uses a blue lightsaber for his weapon of choice. He is also the leader of the Survivor group.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Juan Aarons

Planet: Endor

Juan was known as one of the fiercest warriors in the galaxy before the fall of the Empire. But after the fall he went into hiding. The Survivor group found him and enlisted him into their cause.

Make sure to let me know what you think of these guys! C&C is always welcome.

Number: Protector -118

Name: Mako

Rank: Lieutenant

Expertise: Tactics, black ops, urban warfare

Weapons: custom T-21B heavy rifle

Equipment: advanced intercom, fireproof cape

So this is war. Finally, we are able to show, what we are made for. The first victory on Geonosis, despite all our losses, did prove what I knew all along: This army is ready. I am ready! I am now in charge of a small squad and we’re about to ship out to the outer rim soon. These men are at the top of their game and together we’ll bring the fight to the separatists! Oya manda!

Number: CT-3031/1199

Name: Linx

Rank: Private

Expertise: Scouting, hacking

Weapons: standard DC-15, tactical headlamp

Linx is one of the regular troopers that fought along us Raysh’olan on Geonosis and surprisingly, he kept up with us very well. He’s an outstanding scout, spotting targets long before the scanners do and his hacking skill is a reliable bypass to most security doors. I’m glad to have him on my squad now.

Number: CT-8787/0055

Name: Bruiser

Rank: Private

Expertise: explosives

Weapons: standard DC-15, tactical headlamp

Bruiser was assigned to Talon squad immediately after Geonosis. Apparently command thinks, we need more firepower, so he was the natural choice. True to his name, he’s an expert at inflicting damage to any target, be it through the use of explosives or else. He’s said to have torn apart a dozen droids with his bare hands. I’m eager to see this spectacle for myself!

_______________________

Here’s the newly formed Talon Squad for the re-launch of the 253rd Elite Legion.

First Build for the new campaign of Nine Kingsdoms we are playing at www.RogueBricks.de

My Fig Lamira Adan is building up a campsite.

Number: CT-4554/1606

Name: Sakana

Rank: Sergeant

Expertise: Tactics, melee weapons

Weapons: DC-17m, beskade (mandalorian sword)

Equipment: Katarn armor, macrobinoculars, EMP grenades, kama, pauldron, riot control energy shield

The campaign on Vandos Prime did prove to be more of a challenge than I expected before. Those 253rd boys are really giving it their all. I am not sure I have integrated well yet, but I am still alive, which means I can’t have done too bad. Yet, there’s always something to improve. As a first step, I requested some extra gear. EMP grenades have proven to be useful against the droids on Vandos, so I’ll be carrying more of them now. The new mission briefing states that we’ll be deployed for crowd control on Corellia, so I ordered an energy shield, too. You can never know what these protestors are up to and I’d rather not have them scratch my armor. We’ve been instructed to use none-lethal weapons primarily, but I’m not giving up my DC, no matter what. If push comes to shove, I can use it as a baton or use my sword to keep these protestors at arms length.

........................................................................................................................

Number: CT-7007/2828

Name: Koi

Rank: Private

Expertise: Explosives, lock picking, stand up comedy

Weapons: DC-15, energy pike

Koi has proven to be a capable fighter and loyal comrade on Vandos Prime. He does not question direct orders, but still has enough of a brain not to get himself killed right away. I said whoever survived this hell out there was worth fighting by my side and I am keeping this promise. That’s why I requested for Koi to be transferred to Mizu Squad, the newly formed unit under my command. And with his new armor, he has some signature blue stripes to show for it. For this mission he has traded his trusty DC for an energy pike. Wouldn’t be my weapon of choice, but he demonstrated some impressive skill in our short training session. I’m sure he’ll do well.

Location: Zeffo

Objective: Raid the Imperial occupation

///LOG ENTRY\\\

"Zach's work on Coruscant is complete, so he has assigned me, Jeff, to the mission on Zeffo. A little backstory about me: Prior to working with the Survivor group, I lived a life of crime on the planet Coruscant. After many years of dissatisfaction and the overthrow of the Coruscant government, I decided to join in on the Survivor cause. Now I work alongside Zach and the other leaders in secret missions and assignments. Today is my first major mission: raid Zeffo.

We arrived on the planet early, which meant night had not yet fallen. (We were supposed to wait until nightfall for our attack, but that's beside the point.)

Zeffo housed many ex-Imperial soldiers, technicians, and officers. There were also three major landing platforms which aided the Imperials is aerial combat. My mission was to scout parts of the eastern side of the planet and take out as many Imperials as possible.

After destroying a comms tower, two stormtroopers, and one officer, I went forward to the cliffs. Zeffo is well known throughout the galaxy to house many cliffs and high mountains. Good thing I know how to climb, otherwise this mission would have been an utter failure.

[1 hour later] The highpoint of my mission is finally here. I spotted several scouts and troopers heading my way. One held a vibroblade in his hand, and another was preparing a ground-repeating-blaster. I dodged a few blaster shots while firing a wave towards the enemy. Several troops fell dead, while others retreated. Seems like they were planning on evacuating the planet, but my mission was incomplete--I needed to take out as many as possible.

The cliffs ran further and further along, which made my journey a bit rough. I was coming upon a row of tree stumps. Never in any of my life had I set my eyes on such a wondrous stump, and maybe I'd never seen a real tree before. Back to the story: I was running now. Coming up to a low-bending root, I grabbed it and flung into the air, knocking a scout in the left eye. I left my blaster back at base, so I used a dagger to kill the last stormtrooper.

Jumping onto the fallen trooper I reached ground after flying (not really) a couple feet. My mission was complete. I'll report back to base that all Imperials have been removed from this side of the planet."

///END LOG\\\

Welcome! This is my entry to the 2nd mission in "The Survivors" RPG. Had a lot of fun creating the different rock techniques and tree design, and I am really enjoying the end result. If you want to know, this build literally was reitorized around six to seven times, from various landscapes, scales, and proportions. In the end I think I hit a good spot for building, and this one is definitely one of my best rockwork MOCs.

A whole bunch of MOCs are coming soon for January 2021, so stay tuned! It's been a great year in building, and I am really excited for what the new year will bring.

Keep bricking, and happy New Year!
