I Built 10 Lego Fantasy Rangers

The Lego D&D Collectable Minifigure Line Came with a massive disappoint for me, The Ranger. So I decided to make my own 10 custom rangers for my Lego Castle and Medieval Mocs.

Cool mods and helped me think of other unique mods for mine. This cmf mod video is one of the best I've ever seen.

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Thanks so much! I know there is a lot of videos like this out there so that means a lot that it’s the best you have ever seen! Out of curiosity what makes it stand out? Just so I know what to keep doing!

[@prnzali2010]

@BrickingUpBrad Always nice when a creator that asks for interaction actually interacts with the comments. What I think makes your video that good: 1. You gave constructive criticism and didn't just say it's awesome for the sake of potential freebies or compensation potentials. You didn't love the Eagle and you said it out loud. 2. You used your own voice. I'm so sick of the AI vids which are nails on chalkboard for me. 3. Your camera visuals, panning at the start, and overall video production. 4. The music didn't drown out your voice too much. It worked pretty well. 5. The number one reason I enjoyed the video is because you demonstrate exactly what is advertised in the title. You set out to make some customized mini figs and the results are appealing. The figs turned out better than many of the original ones! Keep up the good work. Makes me want to make content myself! That good.

[@spectra1096]

I know its not a ranger, but you cooked with the High Dragonborn Priest. That torso is perfect with the golden arm

[@miguelmorski4419]

I will hope for more rangers like dnd old tv show

You can’t go wrong with green!

[@dannyfordjohnson]

The first ranger is my favorite, but this was such a cool project!! Great work. Never thought I’d like all purple as much as I did!

Thank you! I definitely love that first one to! Right the purple one is actually really good😂

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Thank you!

[@satellachannel6423]

Not exactly a crusty reveal but the D&D CMF designers were sure expecting rangers fans to be disappointed if they're not birdmen players themselves. The legs of the bard is meant to compliment the ranger's torso for a complete leather armor look.

[@BrickingUpBrad]

True. I honestly prefer dark green legs to the ones from the bard to go with that ranger torso.

[@Goldenroses930]

It’s an aracocra

[@OaktownBricks]

Great Video! All of these Rangers look sick!

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Appreciate it!

[@illeskerkapoly9792]

I'd really love to see a complete Lego stop&motion movie including only these figures. I mean they actually look like as adventurers. I recommend you to write a story and create it. I know it's very hard work and takes lots and lots of time (I'm actually a writer and I've really thought of writing script for a fantasy movie), but these figures and their details deserve much more. This video and the rangers were excellent work. I'm waiting for more 😜

[@conoid21594]

Oooh! I would love other videos like this for the other DnD classes

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Definitely have plans to do more! This was so much fun to make!

[@Triceron00]

Love the Orc and fright knight ranger, very fitting look for them

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Thank you! I am a big fan of how those turned out!

[@EpicoNubletto]

These were really good Brad, great creativity!

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Thank you!!

[@nathanridgway7009]

Love the look of these rangers they all look awesome, but my personal favorite is the purple one since purple is my favorite color. Please continue to make these, I'd love to see what else you can come up with.

[@BrickingUpBrad]

The purple one came out a lot better than I was expecting! I definitely am thinking about doing more! I have some ideas for figures I would like to change!

[@benparker1822]

You have just showcased why Lego and DnD can work so well together.

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Right!!!

[@SeanMaxhell]

For the dragonborne ranger I just use the Bird ranger torso, the legs from the bard, the brown shoulder armor of the warlock and a quiver.

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Nice!

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Thank you! I’m actually really happy how he came out!

[@austinlyon7282]

For the dark archer, you have to try an arm and leg swap with Tasha the witch. It works perfectly with that torso

[@BrickingUpBrad]

I was going to but I didn’t have an extra of her for parting out yet.

[@austinlyon7282]

Understandable. She was the one I found multiple of when I first found the cmf

[@simplybuildingbricks4067]

I think the first is my favorite!

[@BrickingUpBrad]

I’m really happy how that one came out!

[@Majistos.Workshop]

Your audience demands more D&D content! 🧙🏻‍♂

[@BrickingUpBrad]

😂😂😂Noted’

[@samkerr6029]

All of them look great, although my favorite might just be the dragon wizard. For that last ranger I would advise you to use the arms from the witch.

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Her arms would definitely be perfect for that! The dragon wizard actually came out so well!

[@jeffbrown2034]

For your dark archer, you could add the arms from the d&d figure tarsha the witch to that viking torso (think its been done many times) but looks amazing

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Yeah I was thinking about those! They work really well!

[@Skullkin_Productions]

Seeing how you arranged your parts collection immediately inspired me to do the same thing similarly I used to have all of my guys sorted by race and faction, but now I sort them by specific torsos, legs, and heads. And if a race, like the Ninjago Serpentine for example, is mostly/entirely made up of parts specific for them, I put them in their own space (I mean, I did that to my other factions too but I now narrowed it down to a few)

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Thank you! Honestly some of the reasons why I sort the way I do is because of space!

[@BDD_Builds]

Awesome figures, my favorite was the first ranger you made! I really love that dark orange torso.

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Yeah Its really grown on me!

[@BlueDragonBricks]

The Viking ranger is my favorite because I've already used that cape and legs with that torso to make some Elite Forestmen.

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Right! Such a good combo!

[@kunu1990]

Great figures!

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Thank you!

[@Mira_Mira_0n_The_Wall]

I'm hoping we're gonna get more dnd lineages like firbolg, tabaxi, kobold, kenku, goliath, etc.

[@xantho368]

I was thinking about doing it, but I didn’t have the parts I wanted to do it right!

[@kurtmayer1488]

Really cool video actually ❤🎉

[@BrickingUpBrad]

I appreciate! Was trying something different with this one!

[@RalphPL]

The first one is nice (if only you'd given him a yellow head). I also like the Black Falcon one but that's because I made similar ones (just didn't exchange the torso from the falconess).

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Honestly I did a mix of head colors because I liked how it looked for each figure. I was doing skin tones for a lot of the DND ones so they would match the other ones from the series!

[@bubbadoo1267]

You should make rangers out of ALL the other CMF series.

[@BrickingUpBrad]

I honestly have been thinking about making it a series going forward 🤣

[@SkyKid002]

5:35 too much olive green?! *laughs in camo*

[@BrickingUpBrad]

True😂😂😂

[@SkyKid002]

@BrickingUpBrad I like the cape that comes with the halfling druid... unique leaf shape AND it's brown/green reversible?! And the hood piece with the antlers would go good on some kind of elves mounted on reindeer... im looking at you Santa's sleigh set 🎅🦌👀

[@block_01_]

I wish we had a Tabaxi artificer mainly because that’s the character I’m playing in a DnD game that’s based off of WoW

When you picked up the pieces the snapchat notification sound you used was confusing me-😂

[@BrickingUpBrad]

😂😂😂 someone else told me it sounded like one of there notifications and it confused them too😂 I just was looking for a sound that sounded like when you pick up something in a video game and thought it worked lol

[@benparker1822]

That hairpiece idea for the ork I may borrow. I have a pair of the trolls and the CMF Orks. And, while I can't make the ranger, I might use the hairpiece to set one of the Orks apart from the other. RIght now it's simply a different colored hollow stud, to keep the matched honor guard look. But, I can then remove the cape for use elsewhere and have an Ork leader plus strong Ork warrior attendant.

[@BrickingUpBrad]

It’s something I have seen many other people use. But I love using it for orcs it just looks so good!

So...just and a cape and hood and they're a ranger. Got it.

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Yes

[@LEGOWaterSaga]

That's basically what I do for various Star Wars Jedi outfits to make mage minifigures.

[@Jar_Jar_Twinks]

i've seen way too many people use the bard legs on the aarakocra ranger torso, but it doesn't look good. those rogue legs are so much better, it's a shame they're so prohibitively expensive.

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Yeah I definitely don’t like how that looks. But I agree the dark green looks so much better. I might try to see if there are any other options when it comes to dark green legs

[@rossni008]

Ranger with the axe and the half mask and the Dark archer

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Those two came out very well!

[@DesmigodREAL]

2:01 it’s better than the halfling Druid but again, double belt

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Who says that’s two belts? Maybe it’s a design on his pants

[@DesmigodREAL]

@@BrickingUpBrad I do

[@octav1600]

Most of these were awesome. I find an issue with quiver + cape. Maybe LEGO will make a fancy (and massable) plastic quiver and cape combo (or quiver and half-cape) I didn't like the dragon much, but hey. We came here for rangers. Liked the ranger torso and druid torso rangers best. The black ranger and Black Falcon are great (love that hood!) You should have tried Tasha as well. Her torso and legs make for a great assasin / ranger / mercenary - with a blakc quiver and bow and a black hood.

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Honestly a cape quiver combo would be sick! I was thinking about doing Tasha but maybe next video!

[@octav1600]

@@BrickingUpBrad I know she's more rogueish, but I saw a lot of people use her for mercenaries / archers as well . I plan to make 12 ish bow men for a faction (maybe black knights xD )

@@BrickingUpBrad Now I may nerd-out about D&D a bit, but making the Dragonborn a Wizard wasn't a bad idea. A party full of melee-focused character (in this case Rangers) might encounter a mage that can't be hit by arrows so another Spellcaster to fight them instead is a good cover lol

My favorites are the halfling druid torso in combination with the goat herders legs and the purple ranger (tiefling torso). For the dark blue Ranger (the elven ranger) it could be nice to use the new "open" hood or the wolf mask from the ninjago "wolf warriors", both are dark blue and the purple or red of the mask could fit with the color of the torso.
