I too found the Black Legion to be the most interesting one, even though I made it the most recently. Do you have any advice/criticism of my armies? They are all in early stages of creation so any advice/recommendations/criticism is appreciated. Quote
MAB Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 Nice armies. My criticism would be the mixture of flesh and yellow skin characters. It is not so bad when you mix the other colours (eg. troll heads or fantasy style black ones), but flesh against yellow looks odd. I don't think you should be showing the fake Rohan soldiers as they are direct copies of a lego product and so shouldn't be here. I think the rule is that you can only show such figures when they are something that lego doesn't make, and even then they should be in the special region of Community rather than in regular threads. Although I'm sure I will be corrected if I misunderstood the rule about bootlegs. That said, if you don't say they are fake, how is anyone to know ...? Quote

True, I used to have an issue with flesh and yellow, so I see what you mean. Nowadays I think it gives some variety. Yeah, I removed the Rohan soldiers. Thanks for the heads up! It seems the rule states to not post explicit replicas of existing Lego products as there could be pending lawsuits about copyright and such. Quote
Stelario Posted August 12, 2017 Posted August 12, 2017 I see that after forum update there is almost no post here. Anyone know on which forum/website moved this weiner measuring contest ? Quote
Artanis I Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 I'm sure if there was a proper Castle theme happening at the moment there would be people inspired to amass soldiers again Quote
Stelario Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 To be honest I'm not so sure. I mean in Castle 2014 we had 6 new torsos? 3 black dragons and 3 other, 2 armors and 2 horse pijamas? Then 90% of people will use probably only 1 faction? We will end up with dozen of armies made from 3 minifigs. :D Don't undestand me wrong that's normal way of doing it, but I started building my army 2 years ago which was after they stop selling last castle. I have about XXX dark dragons but my total number of minifigs is still 10x bigger. If someone want to build an army he can find "castle" armies anywhere. There are figs in Star Wars, Super Heros. Nexo and my favorite Ninjago which even partially resemble medieval warriors. The main and only problem at the moment is lack of horses. Which is really annoying. Quote

And don't forget the CMF line, some recent ones (such as Frightening Knight, Rogue, possibly Gladiator, Faun, Winged Warrior, etc depending on your era) have been great.

Which is really annoying. 1 They (the reddish brown, moveable legs ones) appeared on PAB walls in the UK, about 2 years ago. Maybe not a good sign as it can mean getting rid of stock, which might be why they haven't been seen since 2014 sets. Quote
Stelario Posted August 16, 2017 Posted August 16, 2017 Yes I know about this horses unfortunately i didn't need them that time. If someone is building not a historical army but fantasy one he can easily use some other animals. Shame that camels and elephants aren't available any more but still there are new cats this year. :) Quote

I also like the Isengard banner with the chain and the scattered rocks and debris giving the ground more texture than just flat colour. Quote
AmperZand Posted September 13, 2017 Posted September 13, 2017 Not so much an army as a raiding party but formidable nonetheless due to its giant riding lizards. Quote
Shroffy123 Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 (edited) Finally figured out how to post pics. Just an overview of part of my army. Post more soon. Edited September 18, 2017 by Shroffy123 Quote

CMF is a costly way to army build these days, plus the past series were TLBM and TLNM. Nexo Knights isn't the cup of tea of most castle/army builders. Neither are minidolls... You might be able compose some castle-ish figs from current Star Wars characters, but otherwise there is hardly any new material to collect for a castle army. Quote
CyberInsaneoHD Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 I just got a new order of knights. It is getting harder to find knights, but if your lucky you can still get some sweet deals! Quote
Andremann Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 here we are! since it is too much that no one post something I put some pictures of two of my little armies, skeletons and dwarfs .. Not really exciting but better than nothing .. have fun Quote

Nightstalker Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 Knight's Valor The elite arm of Hislith, number one ranked guild, and the most honorable knights of the west. The Black Lance has nothing on these knights. Armed with silver weapons and armor that have been enchanted by the Lenarian Elementalists, these knights are sturdy and the strongest knights of Hislith. Along with protecting their kingdom, they have also been charged with hunting the werewolves, which stand against Wolf Queen Mav's pack. Leading them is none other than Lord Edorin Gwyn, the Champion of Hislith, and High Commander of the Hislithian army. From left to right: - Lord Edwin Hill - Lord Edorin Gwyn, Champion of Hislith - Lady Eleanor Reinhart From left to right: - Sir Adam Montierre - Sir Valdin Khent - Sir Richard Aliarne From left to right: - Sir Halienne Maxos - Sir William Nox - Sir Lyle Morne - Sir James Andrews From left to right: - Sir Christopher Reinhart - Sir Paul Leonne - Sir Michael Bentsworth - Sir Charles Maxwell - Sir Alexander Alonn From left to right: - Sir Cedric Ayedin - Sir Marcus Phillip - Sir Jonathan Quincy From left to right: - Sir Alfred Faraquad - Sir Hyle Bell - Sir Nicholas Cale From left to right: - Sir Edmund Artorias - Sir Doran Allios - Sir Terrence Mooreland - Sir Gregory Fallod From left to right: - Sir Dalton Amiliar - Sir Vance Jalioppe - Sir Caleb Oxford - Sir Thomas Flynn From left to right: - Sir Corvan Alt - Sir Lyle Markin - Sir Jacob Osten Finally finished these guys! After finishing many other projects, I actually decided to get their remaining pieces and finish the entire lot! Hope you enjoy! Quote
