You know those original pink crown knights. You could make those a group of rich warriors that came together from all areas to form a small powerful city-state.
This is probably my favourite lore video!, learning about a world you know nothing about is fascinating and this is no different!. The story of Angross was a nice way to expand the Viking songs and folksongs. I’m also LOVE how you tied in the symbols of the shield, such a nice detail that makes the story all the more interesting!. 💛💚/❤️💙 I hadn’t expected to the Falcons to be a once northern clan!, but it makes sense!, with what we know from this video and the first I suspect the Ravens are much more notable then the betraying falcons. I mean the Raven will allie themselves with a group of orcs they know nothing about, the king didn’t attack them, he did not steal their land, he let them be and chose to stay in peace, something I doubt the falcons would do. But I DO wonder, would the Raven king, if he found his northern brothers and sisters of the eagle clan…would he help them?. Again fantastic video and I can’t wait for the next one!, something tells me it’s related to magic or the dragon knights
Wow. I really liked this lore video. All the different stories are great and gives everything life. It would be great if some one made a stop motion series on this. Also, the angros guy kinda reminds me of Boromir lol!
1:46 Love in repurposed Battle of Stamford Bridge (1066 AD)! Also love the inclusion of local maps. As far as most people are concerned on the main map, this region either doesn't exist or is shrouded in mythology and superstition.
Lovely story overall. I do have some critique about it: your storytelling makes the Falcons to be huge brutal villains for exiling / killing / conquering the Raiding and Pillaging vikings ... that most likely pillaged the falcon cities as well. I presume you are taking the "even villains are heroes in their own story", however they would not be like this - because they are raiding vikings (look at Game of thrones and how the Iron Islanders feel and think and talk - they are complaining about the other realms for messing with them, but they are keeping an overtly evil tone about themselves pillaging and raiding). What I am trying to say is make the falcons seem a bit less one note villain for exiling them. The overall story is great though
Could it be some Vikings that sailed even futher north, that maybe found something or someone that will maybe do something in the future. Like they say, winter is coming. Or is that maybe something or someone that could control/work with the wolfs that will soon maybe do an attack on the vikings (/^~^\)? The long night, Then maybe something pink and a crown is needed. Still dont know why, but I just have this feeling \(^~^)/
Great lore videos! You definitely motivated me to try lore and MOC stuff, but I'm focusing more on lizardmen and animal races haha. Your take on black falcons is really cool and I think they fit great with more of a viking background than a traditional medieval faction. Good stuff! 🔥
My favourite clan is the eagle clan I like thire colour scheme and makes my want to by some blue shields from the Viking village from PAB but I need to wait as they are currently out of stock in the UK
Absolutely fantastic 👏 I loved how you made an actual epic tale from history in your Lore of the viking legendary last stand. Truly a great series. Looking forward to more! Gives me inspiration to work on mine as well.
I love the use of Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit molds. They seem like something that the Vikings would face off against in mythology. I also have one idea. If you have it you could maybe use the Lord of the Rings troll. It is blueish and gray and could easily fit in the snow or caves.
I'm buildig norse themed stuff lately as well, and I found that that the chima torsos make excelent vikings, often better than original viking torsos, and they are super budget friendly. Your video just made me realize that the ones that show those frozen ribs would go amazing with the collectible fright knight head for a draugr build. I built a seer based on the one in the show Vikings with the head of the old Grand Inquisitor and black robes that I think originally belong to dementor, and my plan is that he will have an army of draugr under his command. The LOTR oathbreaker minifigs would be amazing to have too, but they are a bit pricy for army building. The Mungus bigfig makes for excellent jötuns with some minor modifications (I need more :D), and their leader could be a brick built giant with the Steppenwolf bigfig's head (that's a project I can't wait to start, just have to hunt down the head on Bricklink). I'm in the final stages of perfecting my Fenrir moc where I use the head of the buildable Worriz bigfig (from chima as well). Would be a cool boss figure for the wargs (which I don't have... yet). I'm also planning to build some giant treefolk type monster with the Groot bigfig torso/head piece from 2014, if I manage to get my hands on one. I have so many ideas, for years I only built Warhammer 40k characters in action figure size, and I'm thrilled to build my norse fantasy world, where I can use my skills acquired in the past years, while I can also build landscape, buildings and cool minifigs. Also Bricklink destroys my wallet in the process, but it's a worthy exchange haha
Love it! Every good set of fantasy lore needs that legendary mercenary band, known throughout the realms, selling themselves to the highest bitter! Would be a fun way to make some custom figs!
Eagle Clan idea: use the falnconer arms on the lamellar torso and armored blue legs to make an Eagle Handler, who works with the giant eagles to give air support to the Eagle Clan war parties.
Excellent video I really liked how you used the animals on the sheilds. I would love to see a lore video about the ravens, orcs and the southern contenet perhaps.
I remember you using the Series 24 orc CMFs in your first lore map explanation but it's a shame that the disctinct fantasy era orcs didn't get their own time to shine here. Their darker skin, more complete wardrope and lack of oversized jaw (which could allow for warmer clothing and more helmet compatiblity) along with the fact that they canonically (in lego universe) build with wood and use ships is a missed opportunity for a distinct orcish race in the north. With the oversized scary animals and scary creatures, troll bigfigs would fit so well here. They also kinda look like Draugr
