You really outdid yourself with these! The harmony of shapes and colors is spot on. The builds look smooth and coherent without being monotonous, and I think that the choice of pieces, especially for the orc palace, is really excellent. I wish that Lego would handle smaller sets the same way: detailed and compact, with a purposeful choice of pieces; they do this with larger sets, but the prices are outrageous.
Ayy thanks a ton! I'm so happy to hear that. This is one of the only mocs that i'm gonna be keeping built after the video is finished. I couldn't take this apart for the life of me. I do plan on revising it in the future tho :)
@@Goldfyre finished it, for a while i have been thinking something is kind of off with your mocs, especially if you try to mimic the lion knights castle. i also discovered this with my own mocs, so if you wanna mimic the lion knights castle i would put more dark grey instead of only light grey in grey castles. it adds a nice contrast, have a nice day
Great video Goldfyre I love the desert theme! I am surprised I got here so soon! If it was any video I had to be at 10 minutes in in I would always choose a Goldfyre video!
Banger after banger - my Lego favourite channel on the entirety of RUclips. It’s in the details and the effort it takes to craft these videos. You may be able to tell but goldfyre has been a huge inspiration to me. Long live the golds 🙌
Wish you could get any of these CMFs for at least a fair price these days. I have two of each fortunately, but even doubling those is now at least $60... at least $10 per Orc and $20 per Raven.
I love the moc, but I was thinking about maybe adding some dark tan masonry bricks or tiles considering how close the tower is located to “the desert”, but nonetheless, the improvements you’ve made in your Mocs have been astonishing considering where you were just a little while ago
The Raven castle looks amazing, but I think that adding a terrain as You did with the orcs will upgrade it to the next level. Every lego building have at least a base and it also make it look like a real set.
Recent follower of your channel. You’ve gotten me back into Lego and simultaneously got me back into drawing. Im a freelance videographer & have been struggling to create for fun without having some sort of ‘work’ incentive. Recently I’ve been been feeling a lot more creative and I think I have you to thank for that in part. Keep up the great content!
For fabric elements instead of buying from Lego you can make your own for way cheaper if you’re willing to do some DIY, just buy canvas fabric and draw out whatever shape you want then put fabric adhesive on the edges so they don’t rip and cut into the shape you want then dye/stain the fabric if you’d like, I’ve done it for all of my pirate ship mocs and not only is it way cheaper than official Lego sails but its fully customizable and looks great
Regarding the flag, I personally think a trading hub would have access to a variety of dyes. I feel dark red would suite them better. As for the MOCs, I think they're wonderful. Really appreciate the consideration for cultural architecture. I also appreciate that wood is relatively scarce in the desert, so most uses of it are thin & flimsy. The only that seems to use it opulently is by the Ravens, 'though a tiled storage room would fit better. It still looks awesome, so one could argue that they drove the Orcs from the more richly-wooded lands & are used to treating the material more casually.
I know it’s been said before, but wowza the prices on those ravens are nuts. I can only dream that lego releases a similar pattern in different colors someday…so many kingdoms possible!
Very nicely done. I wish I had enough sand colors to do fortifications at scale, but for now I'm predominantly locked into grays. The Orc gatehouse almost looks like a mustached face. Which makes me wonder if shifting their architecture to have a kind of heavy, angular base and rounded, more delicate upper sections might be a nice aesthetic tie-in to the jaw piece from the CMF. Something that you might consider for castle expansions for your desert factions would be including machicolations. These were first used in the middle east but rapidly expanded to the north and west after the beginning of the Crusades. It might give a bit more regional flair, in contrast to factions from other biomes and cultures.
I think it looks better without the flag. Love your videos. I am new to Lego castle and hoping to make my own MOCs once I get more experience with the theme and your videos definitely help! Well done.
idea orks keep red goblins, goblins that skins turned red from be on the sun for generations, actual figures nexo knight demons do perfect bit changes but that just bonus
Really great mocs and the minifigs you create are just amazing and a idea is juse a broken stateu of a orc god and build a castle in it like the stateu of liberty from the lego move set
You should do a big video where you make mocs for every location in your world and cover a whole table with them all in the right location then do a film or something where there is a big war
I think the witch's legs should only be used for the heavier armored cross bow men because the color aesthetic looks nice as it currently is for the lighter armored cross bow men, also I realised you might be able to salvage some harry potter minifigures for some raven knight minifigures!
Both builds look great, but the Raven Knight tower looks by far the best. If you could have made it with a relevant interior / hinged opening, that would have been best.
I reallly wanted to do a hinge on both floors and include an interior but just ran out of time and wanted to finish this video up. I'll definitely be modifying this moc in the future as i'm keeping it built for the foreseeable future. Interior & expansions are the first on my list
Absolutely love the gatehouse except the flag, which doesn't fit imo Because of the jagged and hastly-put-together style of it, as of the tower I absolutely love it! Except I'd switch the timber for a green or white to have more variety in color, excellent builds this video :D
Listen, you made a Crown knight’s castle, a Raven castle, and a Orc castle. Just make the Black Falcon castle already! The Black falcons are my favorite faction!
Lore for the Kingdoms: The Orcs and Trolls Many years before the Ravens arrived, the Orcs and Trolls of the Ghis Desert, united under Gul’Karga, built the Ghiscaros City, where the orc merchants and marauders would trade with the human warriors and wizards. These days it is led by his grandson; prince Halbrand Karga, son of King Sauron, allowed the Ravens to settle in their land. The Raven Knights After escaping the Black Falcons, the Ravens have spent the next few years being mercenaries. Until they had enough to flee south, settling in the Ghis Desert. They originally were suspicious of the Orcs, hence why they built the Ravens Watch. But after seeing how friendly they actually were, head builder; Bran Jafar, with permission from his king, allowed the Orcs to use their tower. In return, King Sauron and Prince Halbrand, allowed the Raven Knights to go to their city.
I like the raven faction but I think they benefit strongly from having flesh toned heads. The yellow and bright light orange just don't do it for me personally lol
Another thing the swamp nen would have little supplies, simple weapons, they could maybe a fallen city now run down collapsed and maybe even sunk into the swamp leaving only a few buildings, wooden sheds and a main spike reflecting on the creatures former glory
Love the Raven's castle, it's actually pretty realistic to traditional castles, being a single stone tower with small wooden buildings where needed
Putting the Orc jawpiece on every green piece there is is my life mission.
Great vid, I love the idea of making the orcs into separate clans. It gives a touch of realism to the lore.

@@Goldfyre bro can you make an Islamic or south Asia dessert Kingdomes in Lego, love the video
I love the raven knight castle it has amazing colors, stone work, and side house it is just amazing I hope you have a nice time building
I love the orc build but I can’t deny the raven one is better I love the yellow pop out on the top!! Looks amazing great job!!
I see you got spirited away playing back there lol I'm more of a princess mononke guy lol
Ponyo's my personal favorite
Looks better without the flag. The flag makes it look like a warcamp and not a trading hub
Yep, that's the same feeling i had
I agree
Babe wake up golfyre posted
Lol😂
LOL!
@goldfyre I am gonna be honest i dont fell like I deserve a heart, this comment is completely unoriginal and not heart worthy
“Go back to sleeeeep”
@@FrontierTheory nah it's fine, copy-pastas are the backbone of youtube comment sections
Your concepts for the orcs and ravens are some of the best on youtube
Ayy thanks man. They're my favorite factions & the desert theme/overall lore was really fun to brainstorm for them
when i saw the video my face immediatly lit up. thank you, love the videos and the lore
oh man i'm so happy to hear that! I hope you enjoyed the video :)
@@Goldfyre finished it, for a while i have been thinking something is kind of off with your mocs, especially if you try to mimic the lion knights castle. i also discovered this with my own mocs, so if you wanna mimic the lion knights castle i would put more dark grey instead of only light grey in grey castles. it adds a nice contrast, have a nice day
This is my first time seeing your map - super cool! I love the idea of bringing the locations from it into brick-form
Great video Goldfyre I love the desert theme! I am surprised I got here so soon! If it was any video I had to be at 10 minutes in in I would always choose a Goldfyre video!
Thank you so much!
I like the flag on the Orc piece, goes with their vibe of merchants I'd say
Really cool mocs! Raven one is probably my favourite

the dickriding is rlly crazy
Love the Map Idea. Helps with World visualization and saves parts on legos 🤣
Wish you could get any of these CMFs for at least a fair price these days. I have two of each fortunately, but even doubling those is now at least $60... at least $10 per Orc and $20 per Raven.
Yeah... the price is just ridiculous and not worth it at current prices
Pretty solid set of buildings and very cool looking minifig designs. Thanks for a great Moc showing!
These are such fun ideas. I do wish they were a real theme. Like the idea of different enviorments for faction. Makes it a lot more interesting

Your moc building has come a long way.!! And likes are climbing every video.!! Awesome to see these videos are wat builders/ collectors want to see.!!
Awesome builds so much detail. I love seeing what you can do
I just love this video.
It's Surely the best one so far
(I would love to see a new lore video ngl)
Eventually... 😁
Wow! Best moc yet keep up the good work!
Thanks! :)
I know it’s been said before, but wowza the prices on those ravens are nuts. I can only dream that lego releases a similar pattern in different colors someday…so many kingdoms possible!
Really cool! Fantastic world building as ever!
You’re definitely inspiring me to make my own Fantasy Castle lore! 👏
Soo cool bro love your videos, keep up the inspiring and entertaining content my guy🔥❤️😎
No flag on the Orc building 😊 and the Raven-Tower could easily be a stand-alone building or as a Corner-Tower to a bigger Keep 😊 A great video ! 😙👌🏻

Orc's building is outstanding, with love from Russia
Hello there. Excited for the lore.
Yo, hope you enjoy :)
@@Goldfyre I did. Your videos are always a good inspiration for MOCs.
Love that spirited away is playing in the background
I can’t wait to see what you’ll do with the DND cmf!
I think it looks better without the flag. Love your videos. I am new to Lego castle and hoping to make my own MOCs once I get more experience with the theme and your videos definitely help! Well done.
Woo the lego lore always gose the hardest
idea orks keep red goblins, goblins that skins turned red from be on the sun for generations, actual figures nexo knight demons do perfect bit changes but that just bonus
You could maybe create an kingdom on one of the Islands next to the ork Land
Really great mocs and the minifigs you create are just amazing and a idea is juse a broken stateu of a orc god and build a castle in it like the stateu of liberty from the lego move set
The journey of chihiro is a good backround
It’s so good to see the ravens get a nest your love for the ravens got me into army building it’s so cathartic to see how far they’re coming.
Same man, i have wanted to build this castle/tower for them for sooo long now. So it was really nice to finally get to do it
@@Goldfyre it looks fantastic was well worth the wait
Great amazing builds once again!
You should do a big video where you make mocs for every location in your world and cover a whole table with them all in the right location then do a film or something where there is a big war

I’m so happy the epic raven army now have a moc! Great builds today!
Hey thanks so much for you’re videos , you inspire me so much
Thank you for this video, I highly value the opinions of people who are able to recognise the iconic druid known as the Lady of Pain.
lmao, i aint ever living that down
I think the flag on the orc fortress looks way better!
Dude this was EPIC never stop posting!
I see you, Spirited Away in the background, I see you.😉😉
Amazing videos as always! I look forward to every notification from your channel

I like the flag
It lets you know its an ork village
Really nice, keep up the good work, I'm sure that you are gonna get that million playbutton in no time

Great Video! Your MOCs look great!
Love your video's bro
Thanks for watchin em :)
Sick you create the best factoins and figures
Listen, you made a Crown knight’s castle, a Raven castle, and a Orc castle. Just make the Black Falcon castle already! The Black falcons are my favorite faction!
hahaha it's coming soon™
You should build the full orc city
He was watching spirited away during the video.
Can you please make a fantasy world based of your lore and make more factions
these are sick
I’m your biggest fan
thanks man :)
Can’t wait for when you build the orc village keep up the good work
Great moc! :)
Is bro watching studio ghibli in the background 🔥🔥🔥
This is awesome
Cool builds, makes me wish LEGO would make a new wave of Raven and Orc sets
I'd pay big bucks for some official raven/orc sets from lego
Let’s goooooo dude your uploads are my favorite
Orc looks excellent
Day 358897 of waiting for the next BF castle episode.
Love it, like always :) could you please show us your "Lego corner" i need some inspiration to organise my Lego playgroup
A new Goldfyre video!!! (Sound of contentment)
I think u should ad the official troll flag from fantasy era, it looks just perfect as an orc flag
Lore for the Kingdoms:
The Orcs and Trolls
Many years before the Ravens arrived, the Orcs and Trolls of the Ghis Desert, united under Gul’Karga, built the Ghiscaros City, where the orc merchants and marauders would trade with the human warriors and wizards. These days it is led by his grandson; prince Halbrand Karga, son of King Sauron, allowed the Ravens to settle in their land.

In return, King Sauron and Prince Halbrand, allowed the Raven Knights to go to their city.
Bro that looks so good ❤❤❤😮
i think for the orcs castle you could make towers to go on either side of it, and put the flag on one of those?
I like the raven faction but I think they benefit strongly from having flesh toned heads. The yellow and bright light orange just don't do it for me personally lol
What if you added swamp creatures rivals of the orcs, attacking all just to survive
Another thing the swamp nen would have little supplies, simple weapons, they could maybe a fallen city now run down collapsed and maybe even sunk into the swamp leaving only a few buildings, wooden sheds and a main spike reflecting on the creatures former glory
y love the orc castle
Yes new video 🤯😄😄😄😄💯
Orc flag looks good!
Ravens… litteraly the name of the monsters in something that I’m creating…
I think that a smaller flag lower down would work better than that huge flag.
The flag is cool but shift it over a few studs so it isn't central
awesome
1. Love the builds, they are so amazing
2. You enjoying spirited away?
The Lady/princess minifigure at 2:00 minutes, what set is that from or where can I get it? Thx
With the flag looks better imo
Spirited Away. Do a scene from THAT movie please.
I’mma need an ID on the hair piece for the commander guardsman orc and the older guardsman orc. Where are they from pretty please?
Yooooo bro was watching spirited away
WAAAGH!!! 🧌
