Your siege scene is really well done. The action looks fluent; my favorite details would have to be the oil-covered falcons and the wood piled behind the gate. Keep up the good work! :D

Merry Gong Farmer
Merry Gong Farmer, I don't see why he would be so merry. :lol:
I like the use of the simple rope around the horses neck and him holding the ends.
How did a gong farmer get a horse? I thought they were the lowest of the lows. Should he have a pulling cart instead?
I don't like how the cart is so close to the horse. And the seating placement of the fig should be closer to the horse or the cart further away from the horse and have the farmer towards the front. And maybe put something between him and the gong.

The Saxons meet the Vikings
Interesting, a fighting scene. :) Go Saxons! Landscape looks good. :) No archers? I would add some blood studs for a more intense and bloody battle look to the scene.

Dragonsbane Seige
At first when looking at this, I thought that Blue Falcons are at the gates of CC because of the CC shield on the ground. Love the pool of hot iron. :D Especially on the battering ram and figures. Nice use of colors. My favorite moc of the three.

Good Work! :)

Hey Josh,

Great MOCs all around. The siege scene kind of reminds me of some of those very intricate Where's Waldo scenes where there's action going on all over the place. My favorite detail is probably the ladder being pushed over.

Sweet job on all of them. I love the demented look on the gong farmer. My favorite thing is the poured oil. Great work.

I thought my gatehouse was impenetrable. I was wrong. This is impenetrable.
That siege scene is truly amazing. The spiral stairpieces look great on the crenellation, great way to break up the Big Grey Wall. The oil/tar looks really good, I don't believe I've seen that done before. Those Black falcons are idiots to be attacking this gate.

Nice siege scene Josh with a great use of that screaming face! I like the simplicity of the layout and the clarity of the battle...

God Bless,

Nathan
