That kettle helm would be excellent in light grey. Good job on those weapons, the look great.

Glad to hear you guys did them! Really, if you'd like to see Will try his hand at more edged items, really supporting the edged items when they're released will go a long way in convincing him there's a market for BrickArms melee accessories.

As these accessories are still in development, I can't comment on when they'll be released as Will is still working on perfecting these designs and working on starting others.

However, I can tell you that the edged accessories currently have highest priority, so those will hit the market sooner than anything else.

Awesome stuff, thanks for bringing these to our attention Badger, as always.

I definetely see the potential of the Brodie Helmet doubling as a Kettle Helm. Having them available in a light or dark grey would be very appealing indeed!

I'm especially digging that cleaver! A much better attempt at such a blade than LEGO has done themselves (which is one giant step over the line as far as the size goes). I can already see them in the hands of some of my fantasy-based knights.

The small knife and cleaver are great as well! I'm always happy to welcome any new accessories to the LEGO world - Especially when it comes to blades!

Just wondering- when will they be released?

If you read through the posts in this thread, you'll see that Badger has already answered this question in his second post:


"As these accessories are still in development, I can't comment on when they'll be released as Will is still working on perfecting these designs and working on starting others.

The part of this comment that has caught my attention I have put in bold. 8)

New BrickArms Prototypes: Longsword & Rapier

Post by Damien »

Thought you guys would like to check this out, for those of you that don't follow the BrickArms forums where the info has already been posted. BrickArms debuted two new sword prototypes at BrickCon this year that might be of interest to Castlers.

No release date yet for either item. More pictures available here: http://www.chapman5.com/forums/yaf_topi ... types.aspx

And I'm sure more pictures will trickle around the 'Net once people get home from BrickCon and start uploading their photos from the show.

Those are awesome. I am definitely getting a bunch of the long sword. I will probably get a few of the rapiers for my pirates as well.

Oh right, the musketeers. Can't forget about them. Well, since their primary weapon is a musket, I guess they might need these:

Those look really nice! I've never ordered from BrickArms before because I'm not that into guns--it's nice to see them branching out into more archaic weapons.
