Brickscalibur 2025 crowns its Dragonslayer and other champions of the LEGO realm

Brickscalibur is the annual LEGO castle building contest hosted by RogueBricks each winter. Challengers can submit builds across a range of prompts tied to the medieval age. The grand prize each year is the coveted “Dragonslayer” title, which goes to the builder with the best overall set of builds. The great sages have concluded their evaluation of all 194 entries in this year’s tournament, and the results are in. This year’s Dragonslayer is the Croatian builder Simulterius, a first-time participant in the event, who impressed with six creations that demonstrate incredible range.

From expressive character builds with novel parts usage, like this sage sultan with the brilliant balloon turban…

To immersive scenes packed with detail and drama, like this impossible medieval mission.

Each build demonstrated excellence with a distinct twist. It’s no wonder Simulterious earned the crown!

But Simulterious isn’t the only builder to earn the favor of the Round Table. Let’s have a look at the rest of the winners from this year’s Brickscalibur competition.

Beasts of Burden

For builds celebrating the hard-working animals of the medieval world.

Winner: Winged Hussar By Jaskier

It is the Year of the Horse, after all! Jaskier is the LEGO bard of Polish history and culture, so it’s no wonder the builder drew on his nation’s history for this depiction of the elite heavy cavalry unit.

Runner Up: Kingdom of Makuria by Andreas Lenander

Arabian Knights

For creations capturing the medieval Arab world in brick.

Winner: Library of Barqa by Marcel Veit

Marcel’s series of entries tells one connected story -a beautiful travelogue in brick. Every entry charmed, but this one was exceptional and a personal favorite build of last year. It’s a deserving winner in an absolutely stacked category.

Runner Up: A Night for Companionship and Chai by Taj: Brick Minstrel

Rock, Paper, Scissors

Rock beats scissors, scissors beats paper, paper beats rock. Interpret the classic game in a medieval moc.

Winner: Rock Golem by Greenarj

Evoking Attack on Titan, one warrior armed with scissors challenges a stone behemoth. This will not end well.

Runner Up: That Will Not Avail You by Simulterious

Faction Action

A minifig ensemble with a medieval twist.

Winner: Foes of the Living by Simulterious

The Dragonslayer came out on top in this ghoulish faction, inspired by Warhammer Nightgaunts. The photo editing, adding wisps of green smoke to match the LEGO bases, gives it the edge.

Runner Up: Alrune and the Seven Goblins by Aurore

Cotton Candy Kingdom

A medieval masterpiece by way of cookies and candies!

Winner: The Frosted Viper by BigBrickStan

We loved this saccharine snake when Stan debuted it last month, and so did the public, as this post blew up on Instagram. What a sweet use of those donut tops!

Runner Up: King Syze Ruler of Candia by Maxx Davidson

The Heist of the Century

A collaborative effort with multiple scenes telling the story of an epic heist.

Winners: Of Mice and Magic Pt1 by Luis Saladrigas

Luis is responsible for building the scene of the crime, where ensorcelled mice weave a portal spell to plunder treasure.

Of Mice and Magic Pt2 by Matt Margini

Matt, meanwhile, provides the other half of the story where a witch and wizard are in cahoots to pull off the job.Matt’s detail is incredible, from the elaborate character builds to the forced perspective view out the window. Coins raining down from the illuminated portal bring the scene to life. Matt has numerous close-ups on Flickr to pore over.

Individual Rewards

For exceptional use of color.

Elemental Sorcerer: Chanticleer by FS Leinad
