Right now I have 4. Two from the Crossbow Attack and two from The Knight. Pretty soon though that number will be going up as the summer rolls by and my birthday draws nearer...

I've got about 25-30 right now making it my largest faction! :D Planning to use them all in a "big" battle against my barbarian faction of 24.

I have a question to any army builders out there: Do you use all those figs eventually or do you just display them to intimidate others? :)

I do both. When I'm in a Castle phase (as opposed to Star Wars or Adventurers) I use the,. When I'm not, I just display them.

I have around 100 but that should include leader types. I think this should be sufficient but who knows what sales on bricklink may temp me to buy more. They are a nice faction to have.

I went to the new Lego store in Texas yesterday (mmm...so cool...) and bought my first Lego sets in years (Skeleton's Prison Carriage and Final Joust), so now I have: three. And one's trapped in a cage... But still! It's a start!

Nothing like coming out of a dark age and all the sets look so excellent. Even the majority of those not coming out of a dark age the '07-'08 Castle Lego is excellent. I try to remember what it was like so that I can try to look at my LEGO in the same way and cherish them even more.

A rough count gives me around 60. Which is more than I thought I had. I'm not buying the newest stuff so my crown knights just keep accumulating.

I have 10 or 12 crownines, about the same with skellies (plus I've created the recently undead (zombie) by putting a skellie head on a regular minifig body so add seven more) I've also got the princess, the evil wizard, three goblins and a pair of mounted knights.
Unlike many people, I've got no shame or sense of order about factions, so I mix in five forestmen, two classic castle figs, a member of the Wolfpack, a ninja, a couple of the Bulls, two pirates, and some others.
All of the above are part of the miniature epic film "Mordock Rises: A Tale of Glomshire" film I'm making.
Not that you wanted to know about that, but there it is.

I don't own a whole bunch, but they are nice, generic footmen. I have 4 soldier types, 1 knight, and what is probably the princess, if she counts as a crownie.
I build, therefore I am. If I build nothing, AM I nothing?
