Behold the Companions of the Golden Brik, an adventuring party that has risen from the rubble of Ragnablok to mete out justice and gather swag across the expanse of Castle themed landscapes and worlds. Their motto is "Live. Laugh. Loot."
From Left to Right:
- Stan the Tin Man - Stan, short for Stannum, is the party's clockwork guardian, acting as the uncomplaining workhorse and bodyguard for the team's squishier members.
- Fezzywig the Indefatigable - Fezzywig is a gnomish enchanter and tinkerer, and wears a magnificent Gnomish Toque of Holding. A fount of scholarly knowledge, Fezzywig is always quick with a joke or a cookie.
- Solaeras, Servant of the Light Unyielding - Solaeras is half elf, half angel, and a paladin knight on top of that, so you can imagine how insufferable she is. In combat she is a pillar of righteous fury, and wielder of the Blessed Blade of Saint Osteen Tassius. She prefers a wardrobe all in shades of pearl gold, to really drive home how paladinous she is.
- Mickelbee, the Goblin Alchemist - Mickelbee is the product of the age old RPG dilemma: What should a paladin do if they find a goblin baby abandoned in the road? The obvious answer of ‘kill it, because it will grow up evil,’ somehow did not apply however, and Solaeras brought him home and asked to keep him. Mickelbee grew up to become a traveling alchemist, and is always quick to dispense a healing potion or a mind melting psychedelic.
- Sir Didymus, the Unibrony Knight - Supposedly a member of a knightly questing order, Sir Didymus is of questionable value in combat. He has become self proclaimed custodian of the Companion’s “brand’ and for the most part acts as the group’s social media manager.
The Companions of the Golden Brik are a group of

Clash of the OT by Red Robot, on Flickr
Here we see Solaeras clashing with her greatest and deadliest enemy, the Dreadknight Malaklypse the Malign. Armed with his own overcompensatingly huge OT sword, no other foe has Solaeras so evenly or grievously matched.

Here is an establishing shot of Solaeras and her parts breakdown and arsenal. Solaeras started as a figure for our D&D campaign. And the age old curse almost proved true: Once you complete a fig for your character, they almost certainly die. She uses a lot of Brick Warriors gear in her build and started out as a collectible series Winged Warrior.

This is Malaklypse, who is a character I put together initially for my Anorakistan Army. He massively overcompensates for everything by having red transparent armor and an orange transparent sword, and flaming wings. Most of his elements come from Nexo Knights and Chima.
