Breaching Alder Wall

On the outskirts of Lenfald, Lenfel rangers are always hard at work repelling various Outlaw attempts to break through into the land. In this instance, a group of Outlaws is attempting to break through a Lenfel border fortification known as the Alder Wall. It is unlikely that the Outlaws will succeed in this endeavor, for the Alder Wall has never before been breached.

Well, this is for the Epic Siege category of the Castle Battle Contest in the LEGO War group. Credit to TheBrickAvenger for the idea to use levers as arrows, and the tree was inspired by him as well. Thanks for viewing! :)

That castle wall is superb! I really like how it looks. Nice bordering, by the way, with the rounded look. Overall, nice MOC. You captured the look of a battle pretty well.

Keep it up,

Good work on the wall, I really like the texturing it looks quite realistic. :)
There is a good sense of action in the posing of the mini-figs and a great attention to detail.
The arrows stuck in the ground are awesome!
Keep up the good building!! :)

The wall texture is superb as is the minifig action and gate section. Your rounded border and leaning tree look great.
The battering ram is excellent and I like the use of the shields as wheels :)

Your Lenfel archers might need a bit more training, because they sure missed a lot at point-blank range! ;)

Love the wall and the figs. Looks incredibly parts-intensive, and sure it took a lot of patience to build :)
