This is a great thing- the books are amazing if a bit slogging intensive and the movies were just about the best movies based on books possible without making more movies than books. That said, I'm going to lay out some cons as well as pros cons 1) a lot of the best stuff is too big ( orthanc, minas...

that's a pretty great little set.

aside from the fig based categories to which the answer seems obvious, are micros allowed given, of course, that they fit in to the category otherwise?

I must admit- I did a double take over the name (something to do with a nonexistant "R" if you catch my drift...) but once I got past that I thought it was great. The church is well built, if not overlarge. The castle it's self has interesting walls which I like. also thanks for the answer...

For a standing army of archers, generally, I use the heraldic body with apropriate colour grey legs (light or dark depending on faction) or sometimes black, brown, etc. Basically no flamboyant legs. and they usually have a kettle helm with exception of my black falcons who use bullet helms because A...

Hard to say. If I want a fig to look like a "normal" soldier I use a spear or a pike. If I want an infantry captain sort of look I go for the classic sword. A kind of mid to high ranking infantry dude tends to get the one piece axe (not the hatchet or the halberd, the inbetweeney one) Halb...

Good build. I particularly like the squat look of the towers.

Nice looking fig. Though may I suggest the addition of pauldrons or epaulettes to better hide the rubber band? Anyway, this solves a long standing problem for me: two handed weapons without long shafts.

Assuming it takes a tolerable amount of time to upload my pictures onto brickshelf I may actually be on time for once (I think it uploads slowly precisely because it knows I'm horribly impatient ).

looks like a fine size to me. mind if I steal that trebuchet design?

Maybe some gold around the edges? Still it looks pretty good.

I was tinkering around with epoulets and I realized if you put epoulets underneath a breastplate it looks a bit like pauldrons. my camera is currently messed up but I'll try to put up some pictures later.

Nice MOC. I think the studs could have been used a little more sparingly but the buildings generally have a good style. Also thanks for the history lesson I had no idea where the salem witch trials came from.
