Lego Viking Fort

This is my Lego Viking fortress. It has two guard towers, a bridge (for quick access between the two), a treasure chest, a rotating manned ballista, or giant crossbow (used for defense against dragons, foot soldiers, sea serpents, wolves, ships, etc.), and some extra crossbow bolts. There are two concealed keys to unlock the treasure chest on the island. One is in a pit next to the treasure chest, and the other is inside one of the two large boulders near the the smaller guard tower.

There are three guards on the island. One is standing at the end of the larger guard tower, another one is standing on the other guard tower, and the third is standing at one end of the bridge. There are three other warriors on the island also. One is operating the ballista, one is the leader of the group, and one is the leader's bodyguard.

The leader of the group is somewhat different from the rest, seeing that he is the leader. Instead of wearing the traditional metal cap with horns and carrying an axe or spear, he wears a sort of upside-down V-shaped helmet and a broadsword. Also, where some of the other warriors carry roundshields, he carries a triangular shield. His bodyguard does carry a roundshield, but wields a hefty axe blade connected to a staff.

All the Vikings have gray faces because of a biohazard that was in the area, and now, the Vikings are invulnerable to everything except extreme heat.

For lighting, there are a few torches placed here and there around the fort. Don't worry: the flame is not hot enough to harm the warriors.

My favorite thing about the fort is.....hmmmmmm. Well actually, I like all of it (that's one of the perks about creating something; you get to like all of it).
