Thrash Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 BrickWarriors just released four brand new accessories for you to help out your castle troops: - Nasal Helm - Arming Sword - Buckler Shield - Holy Water Sprinkler For starters we have them available in black and steel. We're considering adding gold (unique color) or pearl gold (matches LEGO gold). Any preferences between the two? Enjoy! Quote
KlodsBrik Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 (edited) All accesories looks very nice. If anything the sword might look quite big . But those helmets are indeed cool. I need to get a lot of these when i get back to building "historic", just been to busy with two big projects the last year. Though, they might somehow get to fit in with my "Babylons hanging gardens" project ... Hmmm Great job though , looking forward to seeing some MOC´s where these are used.

Hepitos Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Excellent items as always, But u should restock your items faster pls. I am waiting since months of two items :( Quote
jFox Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 For starters we have them available in black and steel. We're considering adding gold (unique color) or pearl gold (matches LEGO gold). Any preferences between the two? Enjoy! My vote would be for pearl gold, to match the Lego color. I've purchased quite a few gold parts from BrickWarriors, and I love them all. The only issue I've ever had (and a minor one, at that) was that the match wasn't quite perfect. That, and some of the newer armor and weapons aren't available in gold! Love the new Arming Sword, looks great! Quote
Wardancer Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 Would the other gold be a real metallic tone? Love the sword! Still no silver! Quote
YellowCorvette Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 The knight helmet looks great and Water Sprinkler looks good, but the shield looks too small to block any arrows. Quote
Fuppylodders Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 The knight helmet looks great and Water Sprinkler looks good, but the shield looks too small to block any arrows. That is because their use was purely intended for hand to hand combat, blocking blows etc. I love the sword and the water sprinkler, they are perfect for the small army i am intending on putting together! Cant say i have a preference for either gold, but id probably go with pearl gold as it means it goes better with actual lego pieces that are pearl gold already. Quote
Spud The Viking Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 Anyone know a cheaper re-seller in the UK than Firestar Toys? Thanks Quote
Hepitos Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 every shop is cheaper than Firestar Toys. I Do not know why people buy there. which items do u need? Quote
Spud The Viking Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 every shop is cheaper than Firestar Toys. I Do not know why people buy there. which items do u need? Do you have a list of stores as I struggle to find any selling medieval gear and weapons? Thanks. Quote
Hepitos Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 brickwarriors.... i do not know any other shop with this quality Quote
Thrash Posted October 19, 2015 Author Posted October 19, 2015 Thanks for the feedback, guys! Though, they might somehow get to fit in with my "Babylons hanging gardens" project ... Hmmm Babylons hanging gardens project? That sounds awesome! I can't wait to see what you make! Excellent items as always, But u should restock your items faster pls. I am waiting since months of two items :( Sorry about the wait on the restock. What items are you waiting for? Would the other gold be a real metallic tone? Yes, here's a picture of it from many years ago: brickwarriors.... i do not know any other shop with this quality Thank you very much! Anyone know a cheaper re-seller in the UK than Firestar Toys? Thanks We have a list of resellers here. Some of the other European resellers might have some stuff, but I think right now Firestar Toys has the most extensive selection of our European resellers.

Josiah N Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Its always cool to see new Brickwarriors accessories, especially ones such as the buckler piece. The helms are also very nice as well! Quote
Wardancer Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 I have never liked pearl gold. I kind of banned it from my army because it looks cheap. So I vote for the metallic gold! Quote
AmperZand Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Anyone know a cheaper re-seller in the UK than Firestar Toys? Thanks Just order directly from BrickWarriors. Their P&P rates to the UK are very reasonable. You just have to make sure you're not over the threshold for duty, VAT and Royal Mail's £8 handling fee. If you will be, place more than one order, each one a few days apart. The extra P&P will be small compared to the customs and RM charges. Quote

AmperZand Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 That is because their use was purely intended for hand to hand combat, blocking blows etc. Exactly. I used to do medieval/renaissance European combat training as a martial art and can attest to the effectiveness of bucklers. Their primary function is defensive of course, but you can also use them offensively especially their edge. Some people imagine that the larger the shield, the better, but in hand-to-hand combat, that often isn't true. Large shields are handy for battlefield formations, defending against missiles, hiding behind for reloading crossbows, some siege situations and sometimes on horseback. The rest of the time including all the down-time when you're travelling, smaller shields/bucklers are better. Quote

The extra P&P will be small compared to the customs and RM charges. That's the problem with their free postage over $25 for people in the UK. $25 takes you just over the threshold. I would have bought so much from them if it was free shipping for orders over $23! Whereas buying less and having to pay postage seems like so much less of a good deal. I placed quite a few orders with them when exchange rates were in our favour and $25 was just under £15, but none in over a year. Quote
Fantu Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 I love BW armors, weapons and acessories. I built my "elven army" thanks to their custom items. Unfortunatelly I don't have any other option to buy from them. Here in Brazil they tax all my shippings 100% of their price plus shipping costs and dollar skyrocketed this year. Its like if I had to pay 6 dollars for each acessory... Believe me you all are lucky! Quote

(my guess is a feew weeks before christmas) Quote
Staslegomaster Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Yoy are already a knight yourself because you're a big fan of LEGO knights. You combined them nicely. Which one is your favourite and which one is the most rare in your collection? Quote

I placed quite a few orders with them when exchange rates were in our favour and $25 was just under £15, but none in over a year. I've considered changing it, but "Free Shipping Over $23" just seems weird! The UK customs fees really are ridiculous for packages over £15. Yoy are already a knight yourself because you're a big fan of LEGO knights. You combined them nicely. Which one is your favourite and which one is the most rare in your collection? Thanks! I have tons of old sets...I'm not sure which is the most rare in my collection. But growing up my favorite castle figs were always the wolf pack. When I would play with them I would always have them do dastardly things. Quote

So I can dream with a Brick Warriors Wolf Hat like the ones below? PS.: Don't forget the Elven and Dwarven Weapons and Armor that I asked for Christmas. Quote
