Re: NEW CONTEST - Marvel Scrolls

I am very happy to start the competition off with a map that has been through a lot, but is better for it. I can't thank all the folks enough who've helped me hone this battlefield over the last month or so. I'm sure it's no surprise that this would be one of my entries and I'm so glad the terrain requirements were revised allowing me to enter this.

I submit for your approval:

No Aloha
Requires: 1 BftU, 2 M:tCB, and 1 TJ

Backstory:

Spoiler Alert!

Sgt. Drake surveyed the landscape, it reminded him of somewhere. It had been a long and taxing expedition at Raelin’s insistence; this Wellspring must be found and defended. Worlds away from Earth, with all reckoning of the past fading further and further out of sight in this strange place, he recalled a distant moment of warmth. He thought of Rose. He thought of the Oahu wedding they’d planned, the white picket fence down the old dirt road, the two boys and two girls they’d dreamt of. Suddenly the thought grew sour, the ‘date which will live in infamy,’ the day that would ship him half a world away from their perfect island wedding. He gazed out over the ruins overtaken by lava long cooled and the jungle overtaking the dark lava. “Aloha means hello and goodbye,” he recalled. He heard a fern rustle as a Marrden Hound slunk from the far off water. Sgt. Drake looked on gravely and unsheathed his katana dryly muttering “No aloha”.

@Ulysses is the first out of the gate! Nice. No Aloha looks great. Funny, I was thinking of building it just a couple of weeks ago.

Re: Contest Thread: The Uncharted Wellsprings

Clarification on how many sets we are allowed to use is 4? A master two expansions and then an extra? And I understand the which are deemed which for when it comes to what’s a master and expansion.

Correct. You can use up to 4 total sets for your map as long as it’s within the guidelines.

Re: NEW CONTEST - Marvel Scrolls

Map: Cannonade
Requires: RotV, FotA, Marvel x2

I'm sure this goes without saying, but the intent was to exclude the platforms.

CANNONADE

BACKSTORY
As they lie under a pile of rubble awaiting a seemingly inevitable death, Vadim and Nina glance at each other and silently reflect on the new war they are fighting. How ironic that the place they were about to die looked so eerily similar to the place they nearly died to the Germans back on Earth. As the cannonade tapered off and their ears stopped ringing, the trudges of enemy footsteps grew louder and louder. Just when their vision had almost faded to black, a blinding white light was cast above their heads followed by the loudest thundering hum they'd ever heard. Shells rained down and clanged off of the debris below as Agent Carr managed to liberate his comrades from the crippling rubble that debilitated them. "Get up, you geezers; I brought big Q. Let's party."

Re: NEW CONTEST - Marvel Scrolls

And for my second submission I present:

Brunak's Barracks
Requires: 2 M:tCB, 1 FotA, and 1 VW

Backstory:

Spoiler Alert!

Wolflin aint a fun place to be. It’s hot, it’s dry, and there aint a saloon for three Wellsprings! But the posse shouldn’t fall prey to Brunak or his Obsidian Guards, even on their home turf, Guilty McCreech reckons. The bad guys may have molten lava, but they don’t know nothin’ about a sweltering Missouri summer.
Guilty flanks the dilapidated structure seeing it’s being used as some sort of training ground or sleeping quarters. The chaw he spits off to the side sizzles on the ground as he rounds the outer walls. In the dim red light he spots what looks like four full squads of Brunak’s shock troops as they slumber in their lava pits.
“Wut in Moltarnation?!” he hisses gruffly.
He quietly spins his chamber and with a quick turn of the wrist and flick of the thumb, locks it in and draws back the hammer.

Re: NEW CONTEST - Marvel Scrolls

Submission #2: Dragon's Teeth
Requires: BftU, TT, Marvel x2

Also probably goes without saying, but this map is normal snow & ice, and the platforms are excluded from the Marvel walls.

DRAGON'S TEETH PDF​

​

BACKSTORY

PROLOGUE: Knowing that Jandar's army of minutemen would struggle to migrate through the harsh tundra of Thaelenk, General Vydar knew something had to be done to buy them time to reach the southern peninsula and fortify- or the Valledonn Fortress would fall. The hordes of Marro continued their rampage North through Laur, and it wouldn't be long before they reached the Dragon's Head Sea. If Vydar could hold off the Marro at a narrow pass known as Dragon's Teeth, it would buy Jandar's forces enough time to reach the peninsula and fortify. Suddenly, Vydar had a vision of a corporate entity that had trained it's troopers to not only survive the harshest of conditions, but thrive in them.

"As Me-Burq-Sa and his swarm of Marro approached the bottleneck, they kept a close eye ahead on the Grok Rider scouts that were leading the charge. The closer they got to Dragon's Teeth, the worse their visibility became. Me-Burq-Sa gave the reckless order to expedite their push through the pass, in hopes of beating the storm. Breaking off from the horde and galloping just behind his Grok Riders, Me-Burq-Sa quickly lost sight of his forward scouts as the blizzard consumed them. He continued his charge forward, anxiously awaiting to regain visibility. In the blink of an eye, he zoomed past what looked to be a dead Grok in the snow. Presuming it was not one of his scouts, he clears his eyes of frost and resumes his push through the pass. Me-Burq-Sa passes another dark blip in the snow, followed by another. He halts his mount to investigate what he saw, only to realize that they were his Riders, laying dead in the snow with fatal gunshot wounds to the head. He screeched in panic back to alert his army that lagged behind, but it was too late- the Microcorp Troopers were already in position, camouflaged in snow with thermal vision activated."
