Who should win?

Post by Snoopy »

I'm working on a LEGO jousting movie. I want to know who you guys think should win. The four knights competing are from the following factions.

Wolfpack
Crusaders
Dragon Masters
Royal Knights

Sorry, if your favorite faction isn't represented. :( These are all the different bardings I have. I'm using bardings because they help hide the horses feet (works better for filming). :wink:

Wolfpack! Except they don't really have any knights... :?

My second choice would be the Crusaders.

I've kind of mixed up the themes. :oops: I'm going to use the following crests for the four factions.

Wolfpack-the wolf crest (duh!)
Royal Knight-KK1/Royal Knights lion head crest
Crusaders-crusader's lion crest
Dragon Masters-Dragon Masters?Black Knights dragon crest

The four knights will have their specific crest on their shields and standards (except for the crusaders). They will also each have a specific barding.

Wolfpack-Fright Knights
Royal Knights-KK1
Crusaders-Crusaders
Dragon Masters-Black Knights

I hope this helps to clear up some of your questions. I've almost finished designing the set for the movie. I'll tet you know when it is done.

How can the crapy Wolfpack joust? I think the Royal Knights should win.

"crapy" Wolfpack? :evil:
That's an outrage. An outrage. The Wolfpack assasins will creep through your window at night and slit your throat. They'll win, because they know how to rig it. And they will kill any of you who disagree. :twisted:

Royal Knights. Duh!

Assuming that the factions still resemble (somewhat) their namesakes, then the Wolfpack and DMs are out. (Wolfpack are bandits, theives and assassins: deadly in what they do, but useless on horseback. DMs are simply DMs. Enough said. Although Black Knights would beat all comers. But you said DMs.)

As for Royal Knights and Crusaders... it was kind of a tossup. I went with Royal Knights: I like them better, and my best all-time jouster was a Royal Knights, back when I had the sets together.

Basically, all I changed was the following:

The Royal Knight is the same except that he has a KK1 barding (I don't have a Royal Knights barding :( ).

The Wolfpack has a knight in armor on a horse with a Fright Knights barding (it actually look the best of the four!)

The Dragon Master is the same except that he has a Black Knights barding.

The Crusader is completely the same.

By the way, for all the Black Knights fans out there, the Black Knights will be hosting the tournament (because that is what I have the most of and they're my favorite).

Okay, that makes sense. I was kinda afraid that the DMs were actually more like Black Knights than DMs, which meant that I shouldn't have voted Royal Kngiht, but Black Knight. (Black Knights are THE knights.)

I voted for the Royal Knights as they seem to have the best eye for pagentry of all the castle factions. The Royal Knight champion would likely practice exclusively for the tournament, it helps to have the backing of a wealthy king. The Royal Knight Castle 6090 looks like richer plunder than 6085, 6086 and 6080/81. It is too bad TLC never made a jousting set for the Royal Knights, that would have rounded the line out a little better.

As too the Wolfpack debate, if the Wolfpack was led by a hedge knight or lower class nobility, that knight could compete in the joust. It was common practice that a man could not compete in the games without noble title. Many of those hedge knights won tournaments, hedge knights were a hardier bunch usually more battle experienced than higher ranking nobles. Nor were the lower class nobility above cheating if they could get away with it. :wink:

I'll do my best to work some underhanded Wolfpack scheme into the movie. I won't guarantee that they will win because of it, though. :wink:

Doesn't anyone want the Dragon Masters to win? :D
