Merry Christmas Eve BrickWarriors fans! This may not be the most appropriate MOC to feature right before this sacred holiday, but it's too good not to share. From the special customization of BrickWarriors accessories to the realistic blood splatters, this MOC delivers on so many levels. Holding the Gate depicts castle guards fighting off an Orcish raid. There are gruesome casualties on both sides. 

Anyone that knows what BrickWarriors accessories normally look like can see that MOC creator, Lordanthul has done some really beautiful customizations. There's gold on the City Watch helmets and armor, steel pavise shields, and bronze weapons. Plus, all the accessories have been given a gritty and realistic look. 

And the cup runneth over when it comes to BrickWarriors accessories featured in this MOC. The guards fighting outside the gate are wearing City Watch Armor and City Watch Helmets and wielding City Watch Halberds. The guards in the back are standing behind Pavise Shields, wearing Kettle Helms, and shooting arrows from their Crossbows. Those arrows hit a few targets as shown by the Arrow Halves sticking out of a couple Orcs. 

As for the Orcs, the one in the bottom left is carrying a Crescent Axe. Next to him is an Orc wearing Brute Armor and carrying a Goblin Shield. In the bottom right is a two-headed Orc, made possible by Ogre Armor. And that creature is carrying an Ogre Warclub. To his left is an Orc wearing a Tribal Mask, and closer to the gate is an Orc wearing a Goblin Helmet and carrying a Minotaur Axe.
