Exactly. "Luz" (light) is feminine. "Espada" (sword) is also feminine. Therefore, Santa instead of Santo.

Add dual portcullises, one on each side of the blast door, set out enough for someone to get trapped in there and then add flame projectors on all sides. Any fig that attacks the main door will get trapped and toasted! :twisted:

I'd like to see a overview shot of everything you've done, because it looks phenominal... Except, where's the titty bar? :cry:

May we have some more pictures of the gladiators? I think that would be nice

also, I think you should briklink some more briks, or, if necessary use a striped color scheme. thats what I'm doing on my current project.

Agreed. By the way, the glads are forum people right?

Yes that's right. Although I'm thinking of just making some minor mini-fig units from players armies for them to play. Not Sig-Figs.

@Dilanski: That, coming from you is saying something, I'm almost considering tearing up here, I really am. However, it does everything it says on the tin.

@Silent: I have more Briks than I can store, I'm thinking of scraping the Thunderchild instead, although I'd rather destroy it in a forum battle. The Thunderchild will be reborn in Micro Scale along with it's sisters to form an Immortal Fleet. Gladiator type weapons and equipment is on it's way from BrickForge, Stubby was right about the 75% off being too good to pass up.

@Roc: It's work in progress for now, once I get my feet clear I can start taking some of the... loosely sorted heaps of stuff away and I'll take some purty pics when I do. The Officers Titty Bar WILL happen.

@Sloopofwar: Flamers are an option but the blast door is sort of a trap to cut off and keep an attacker trapped in the main courtyard. The entryway is too small for an effective killing field.

...more bricks than I can store.
:shock:

This. Will. Be. Awesome.

Is there any chance I can reprise my role as the Manly Men for this battle? I see some guys with red helmets. Of course, I'm not too familiar with the canon here, so who knows what they're up to during Fico.

I'll keep that in mind but remind me later anyway. I'll post up a recruitment thread nearer the time. I don't want inundated with distracting stuff about this just yet or I'll never get finished.

A forum battle sounds like a good idea. Perhaps a Coalition boarding party attempts to rescue a prisoner bound for the emperor?
