The five sets that make up the 8th Series of the BrickLink Designer Program were revealed in all their glory earlier this month, let’s take a closer look at the Dustmark Keep by Brickhucker!
Welcome to Dustmark Keep, the sun-scorched heart of the enigmatic Bounty Hunter’s Guild, known in many circles as ‘The Snakes’ due to their dark natured dealings.
Nestled deep in the uncharted Outland, far beyond the reach of civilization and the strife of warring factions, this sand-swept fortress thrives in isolation. Its remote and desolate surroundings offer unparalleled safety and secrecy, making it an ideal haven for the Guild’s operations.
The Keep’s legendary bounty board is its lifeblood, displaying an array of lucrative contracts. High-paying public bounties vie for attention alongside clandestine commissions from rival factions eager to cloak their hands in the shadows of plausible deniability.
Renowned for their unparalleled precision and efficiency, the Guild commands a reputation, and fees, worthy of their elite status. Their success is reflected in Dustmark Keep itself, a fortress that thrives against the odds in the desolate wilderness, a testament to the Guild’s unwavering prowess and resourcefulness. This wealth sustains not only their operations but also their fierce independence.
The Bounty Hunter’s Guild owes allegiance only to themselves and the glint of coin. No faction, no ruler, and no law lies beyond their reach. Their members are masters of their craft: elite warriors, assassins, saboteurs, and smugglers, bound by a code of professionalism that ensures discretion and ruthlessness in equal measure.
Key Guild Members:
The Leader: A man of sharp intellect and deep experience, he is the kingdom’s best-kept secret. While the nobility would never claim his acquaintance, they rely on him as their invisible bridge to the Guild’s clandestine services.
The Negotiator: She extracts maximum value for the Guild’s services, and ensures every contract is settled in full.
The Jailor: When a contract calls for a cage, he takes command. He oversees all who are kept in shackles.
The Clerk: The library is her domain, she archives the records, inks new contracts, and illustrates the bounty posters.
The Madam of the Keep: Possessed of calm grace and lethal resolve, she ensures order and sanity in a world of dust and chaos.
The castle is brought to life with a total of 20 minifigures, three horses, a rat, a vulture, and of course a snake.
