Re: The Worst King

I'd vote for the king of the current lion faction simply because I'm tired of all the grey beards who live in giant castles and can't even protect the princess. The lion faction king should be a real warrior king. He should be the sort to wear a lion's head for a crown...he should look like the cove...

Re: Collectible Figs series 8 revealed

I only care about castle, so this set seems pretty worthless to me....the conquistador armor may at least have potential. Need a better look at it, though. Hope to see a followup to the evil knight next time around...

Re: Wolfpack Castle

I like the idea, but I think I'd rather have a wolf head shaped cave coming out the side of a hill or cliff for a Wolf Pack hideout. Or perhaps a version like yours, but in ruins.

Re: AGE OF EMPIRES II - AGE OF KINGS SHOWDOWN!

Haven't played in forever and was doing terrible at first, but I beat it on 1v1 Hardest the other day. Favoring the Britons so far (on land maps), but haven't experimented with seafaring factions yet (keep playing random maps). My connection has been pretty junky lately, so not sure when I'll be abl...

Re: Funny Sword

I also pulled one of these out of a Chess set. Feel a little silly filling out a form for one little sword when I have a bag full of them (albeit, not exact this color). What's peculiar is that the shortsword isn't even in their selectable parts list.

Re: Best Medieval RTS Games: A Discussion.

For whatever reason, I think I've only played AoE II. I tend to prefer turn based games like Lords of the Realm 2 (it does have RTS elements) and Heroes of Might and Magic 2 and 3 (which is fantasy, but they both have knight factions).

Re: Third Party vs. Clone Brands

A MB set was given to me once. I gave it a chance, but it went in the trash.

...and speaking of 3rd party, did Blasterman fall off the face of the Earth or what? Never did get any castle weapon packs...

Re: Kingdoms Chess!!!

The two that I ordered showed up. This is actually the first chess set I've ordered, since I had no use for the skellies (except stealing their accessories for my human "skelly" faction) or jellybeans. Would've preferred two more knights instead of jesters. The jester isn't exactly somethi...

Re: Series 7.... It's a Boar! (and other castle parts)

And that's not even the shield print minus the boar...it's the breastplate print. Maybe he's trying to confuse his enemies....make them think they're seeing double.

Re: Series 7.... It's a Boar! (and other castle parts)

Really wish it had a printed torso, but not sure he's worth making a faction out of anyway. Did give him the helm he deserves, though (terrible pic, but too lazy to take a better one):

Re: Jelly Bean Knights

I don't believe I would have liked KK2 at any point that I can remember playing with Lego as a kid, and I grew up on the original Power Rangers (and still like it...but only the original cast). I even watched Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog in high school. So I was certainly familiar with the "Jel...

Re: Best (Realistic) Archer Torso/Minifig Design (A Discussi

This pic pretty much sums up how I view my archers. Braveheart was also kinda a big influence on me, so I use nasal helms for archers and kettle helms for infantry.
