Thanks Josh, for holding this contest again. And then with such amazing prizes!

Oh, I have to dig out a few bricks and show DARKSpawn how to build really MOCs :wink:

regards,

The only restriction is how many pieces and figs you have. But remember, "big" doesn't equal "best".
:wink:

i'll start building tomorrow.

Those prizes are simply amazing. If I can work out a tricky way to use my limited castle fig resources in a full battle I may feel compelled to enter this.

If I ever host a contest I'm going to add "Anyone who asks a rules question that has already been answered will be barred from entering the contest".

Wow, those prizes are amazing. But I, too, have a question-

Must the content of the MoC be strictly historical, or could there be, as a visual joke, one soldier with a gun among the spearmen [as an example]?

Wow those are some incredible prizes, many thanks to our secret benifactor :) & Thanks to you Josh for holding this contest.

I have a question, can I use fantasy creations similar in craziness to the Troll Battle Wheel Castle set? Maybe something like ...oh, I dunno... a steam powered dwarf built mecha? ;)

I think there has to be something I could make up for a battle scene... The gears in my brain will have to work some. So far the competition looks like it will be pretty high. At the very least we will all get to see some very cool battle scenes.

Those prizes are amazing. What a fantastic gift. Very nice of you not to be the happy home of them and to give them away as well. Two very generous gentlemen.

Can figs be charging at each other or do they have to be whacking at their foes?

Prizes are great also :D .

Thank you for hosting this contest! :) I wasn't a member in /06 but this contest is probably one of my favourites

I can't wait to start building now that I don't have to keep my lego school project together :P

Those prizes are great :shock: I thought they were mint condition at first glance

(leaf_of_lire- I don't think it really matters as long as it's a medieval battle scene of some sort)
Drop the LEGO and nobody gets hurt!
