LEGO MOC of the Week - Cretaceous Convoy by Hugo Rschp
Posted by Merrie on 27th Jul 2017
Comically small arms aside, the Tyrannosaurus rex is an intimidating beast capable of grave harm. So it's downright terrifying when a group of orcs has tamed them as they have in this ferocious MOC by Flickr user Hugo Rschp. Here we see three orcs riding high atop the largest of five dinosaurs. Holding the chain-link reigns is a pointily-dressed coachman armed in the Goblin Helmet, Lizardman Armor, and Wooden Spikes. Directly behind him is a familiar looking orc clad in City Watch Armor, and loudly blowing into the Cornu. (Can any fans tell me where this musical creature made an earlier appearance?) In the rear of the basket is someone I presume to be the leader. Also wearing Lizardman Armor, his head is covered with our Rogue Hood, and he holds a staff in his right hand while a cape drapes his back. T-Rex king? Perhaps, but there is a similarly dressed man in front of the brigade. In his hands are a bow and Quiver. I'd like to point out that this guy gets all the bravery points; he's both on the front line of battle and directly in front of a bunch of dinosaurs! Other orcs in this MOC employ the use of Quarterstaffs, City Watch Halberds, and more Wooden Spikes. There's also an incredible range of armor being used by this army, including the Demon Helmet, Arm Gaurds, Scaled Galerus, and Ranger Helm. Big shout out to Hugo Rschp for such a cool build! And apologies if this was inspired something that went completely over my head!
