Cool video! Love to see some fantasy army builders on youtube :) I was gonna laugh at saying "only" 1000 dollars but with the cost of lego castle army building that's a fair statement haha
@@CalLego yeah it's all about learning ways to get stuff for as cheap as possible and looking for good deals but even then it's still extremely expensive
oooo what if you make a moc with EVERY figuree! have a little part for each, with like a forrest, mountain, underground area and more to have a massive battle of every faction, with little details including the neutral ones doing the things you said they had..... First yet weaker idea, the setting could be set in maybe the elven kingdom, where the banished elf daughter was approaching back to the elven lands to challenge her father's rule with backup, possibly from the dwarves, who understand where she is coming from as the current king had overthrown his own father's harsh rule all those years ago, and the others including the evil armies are there to crack down, and make sure the legions of Good do not reform together, becoming a greater threat to the influence they have. Boom, massive battle scene that you can make, it mostly makes sense that they'd all be there ?? but also could have extra townsfolk and other details scattered around to give each individual character a place to shine without seeming all that underpowered. Second idea, it takes place around the castle or another area of the Dragonborn, where the power of their armies, but most importantly leader has grown too strong. The armies of Good and Evil have begun a full-scale invasion, to hopefully put an end to the unpredictable and devastating legions of dragonborn. While not necessarily working together, all of the factions hope to eliminate the larger threat the nation gives, while hopefully assuming the survivors and defectors into their own armies, by force if necessary, further establishing their might as the dominant faction. sorry its a long comment, idk if youre going to have the time( or maybe budget ?) for something of this scale. But I would think of it as more of a longer series of working on something like this every so often while also maybe adding more characters to the world, with a sort of combo video as a summary of it all, with a full walkthrough of the details or maybe building techniques, etc! I realize youre also a smaller creator but already love what youre doingg! I see similar things like this, but then they use wayy too much custom parts, and the lore isn't always cohesive enough to actually stay for the video lol. Good luck with the future tooo! (already subbed + liked :] )
Great video. I’m also of the opinion that the Evil side has the best minis although I believe that the Vampire would have sided with the Undead as either another commander or a mercenary. I also believe that he would have his own nefarious agenda so if the Undead Army would start to ‘fall apart’ he would save his own skin and flee back into the shadows.
I would say a lot of youtubers are generally happy to disclose how much they spent on certain things, at least I know I'm generally fine letting people know how much I spent on a certain item or lot if someone is curious :) Either way it's generally safe to assume UA-camrs are spending a lot for their armies just due to how expensive most factions are haha.
Such a unique video! I loved the dragon mercenary and the king with thorin’s hairpiece! New subscriber 👍 A moc of a village raid from the orcs with the good guys defending would be so sick! Your coconut bricks entry was insane so I’m excited to see what you put together!
There is also a Blue one they are both from the Vidiyo line that got cancelled. I have the red one as the sets went on clearance at walmart awhile back.

Yeah he definetily overpayed for some of these pieces but I think we all did that when getting into buying discontiuned lego stuff or at least I know I did
Hey man, currently I have a plan that, unfortunately, I don't have time to deviate from. But I wish you the best of luck. Keep pumping out youtube videos, man!
Which Faction and Minifigure from these armies is your favorite?
Probably the dwarfs
probably the dragonborns
@@CalLego the elfs where really cool!
Dragonborn versus orcs that would be sick
👀 100% agree!
The Dragonborn empire is my favorite faction and my favorite minifigure here is Caalxar Orlahador

Thanks for watching! Yeah, this hobby is pretty expensive, lol.

Really cool video DnD is a personal favorite game of mine and this is similar
Thanks! I love D&D lore, so that's kinda what I was going for mashing D&D with lotr.
Super cool! I love how your voice changes from dramatic intro to casual piece explanation lol
Thanks! I get a little too into it sometimes 😂

Super helpful. Great ideas! I do plan on this being a long-term series, so I could potentially do all of this. Thanks for the ideas!
Evil factions are ALWAYS my personal favorite. And Ah love yers, partner! Can't wait ta see the minifig fer your Dark Lord!
I appreciate it! I can't wait to build him. Evil factions are also my favorite.
I love energy dude keep it up❤️ and the black falcon army are my favorite and always will be
I appreciate the support! Black Falcons are classic!
Love those elves!
Thanks!
its funny how a few years ago using 1000 dollars to make a lego army would be a lot but now this isnt that much
Yeah, it's gotten pretty expensive. But to be fair, a lot of these pieces are old lotr pieces which have gotten crazy expensive.
0:46 pulls out landmine
8:56 dammm disrespect to my man strahd!
🫢
I love the custom design of the elve army
Dragonborn is My favorite
This guy needs more likes
Thanks, I appreciate it!
12:29 Lego Lore be like as a kid
Where is the dark lord ? You kept talking about him but didn't built him
He'll come in due time 😉
Nice video bro. Got into lego castle/fantasy recently and trying to do the same as you. Keep up the good work bro
Thanks, dude! Good luck with your army byilding.

I also believe that he would have his own nefarious agenda so if the Undead Army would start to ‘fall apart’ he would save his own skin and flee back into the shadows.
Great feedback! There may be side changes that occur as the story progresses, along with some shocking betrayals 👀
sick bro, wish i had 1000 😭😩
😆 After this video, man, I'm broke!
All these UA-camrs do army building while we have no idea how much they spend, but this time it's actually reasonable, thx
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

A moc of a village raid from the orcs with the good guys defending would be so sick! Your coconut bricks entry was insane so I’m excited to see what you put together!
Thanks! That's a great idea for a moc!
My favorite fashion is the ones with the dragon head. If you have to make a mark with either one I would say the dwarfs or that one.
I would love to make mocs for both of those factions! Thanks for watching!
For Dwarven shields I awould add stud with a hole for sturdiness.
Great suggestion! I'll deffinatley do that.
I had no idea there was a red dragonborn head out there 😮
There is also a Blue one they are both from the Vidiyo line that got cancelled. I have the red one as the sets went on clearance at walmart awhile back.
Its shocking how many minifigures you can get with 1000 dollars,It should be atleast 2 times more for that price
In total, it's almost 100 figs. I don't think averaging $10 a fig is bad when it's taking a lot of parts from different figs and making new ones.
This guy got ripped off a lot of times because i saw some of these pieces and minifigures for like 4 to 7 dollars
This js entertaining so subscribed
This man deserves more subscribers than 500 this man cooked
Thanks, Griffin! I appreciate it!
nice

where are the bone ribs from for the dragonborns?
Those are from Ninjago. The part# 18961pb01
Moc for the Dragonborn pls
good vid brother
Appreciate it!
Do you come up with the characters and back story before building your figures?
For the most part, yes. For a few, I built the figure 1st.
The dragon borns horns are upside down or something
🤣 You're actually right... but in my mind, they can go either way to add individuality.
What r the torsos on the dwarfs please
It's from Ninjago item# 973pb5272c01
@@CalLego YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER THANK U
@@0FfV1bE No problem!
Okay should of made this in a month and ordered a bunch of the dragonions from ninjago 😂
I didn't even know about those guys. I'll definitely have to use them in the future!
@@CalLego yay some one realised me
@@CalLego happy new year
Thanks, Happy New Year!
What’s the name of the song at the end? Sounds great!
I AI generated that song. It's a later portion of the song that I used to introduce the dwarves.
Where's the Dark Lord?
Stay tuned 😎
@@CalLego Will, he looks like Sauron? The gray Shedder helmet might look great; I have a suggestion.
@robertstone7975 he might, but I also want him to be different than sauron.
@@CalLego okay, because we know that Sauron is GOAT when it comes to Dark Lords.
Where did you get the red dragonborn head? And are there more colors than blue, green and gold?
The red dragonborn head comes from minifigure vid019. Red, blue, green, and gold are currently the only colors.
Dude, calm down and just talk, don't yell. I had to turn down the volume and put on captions.
Thanks for the feedback! Sometimes, I get a little carried away😂
Nah, Dude needs to ramp it up... love the energy!!!
He has the energy dude it'd fine
Why do you mean captions I hear him great, his volume is fine, he doesn't need to call down, and he is talking he also getting into spirit
Why s mean
You got ripped off
🤷♂️ This plastic is expensive.
Yeah he definetily overpayed for some of these pieces but I think we all did that when getting into buying discontiuned lego stuff or at least I know I did
Personally I've never ordered online before but if i do i will have to check out the website first before buying
You’re shouting… I’ll come back when you redo this video…
@calLego love your content maybe wanna colab sometime?
Hey man, currently I have a plan that, unfortunately, I don't have time to deviate from. But I wish you the best of luck. Keep pumping out youtube videos, man!
