what sort of minions do you think the sorceror might have working for him... could that be where the gargoyles come in? Wait... I think the poster says they work for Vladek... but it seems like he wouldn't be up there in his tower all alone, would he?
If Vladek needs more monsters just throw in acouple of Fright Knight Dragons.
I don't think the minifig Rogue Knights will be having triangular shields. Remember how the big KK2 figs are set up compared to their minifig counterparts?
I'm pretty sure how its going is Vladrek seeks out help (aka the sorcerer) and the sorcerer in turn maybe.. enslaves some gargoyles? or summons them from some dimension or what not.
I'm really curious to see the Rogue knights. I agree they'll be wolfpack in nature, but more armored of course. I'd like to at least see the orginal visors come back at least if they don't allow in euro-armor.
Maybe they'll have some new armors? Interested to know what they mean by the New and improved armors for the Knights.
New characters would be great! ! I'm interested in the sorcerer and the gargoyles. I want to make a golem army, but so far I've had to rely on grey 'ghosts' from Harry Potter to be statues brought to life. Hopefully the gargoyles will be posable like minifigs. The Rogue Knights also sound interesting...
Looking at that image of Vladek, I must say that I am pleasantly surprised. If this re-imaging carries over to the KK2 mini-figs, I may actually pick up a few more KK2 sets. Lego seems to have listened to its fans in a few respects, droping the heavily modernized design elements of KK2 for elements that are more closely associated with traditional fantasy.
Look at the shape of Vladek's sword and shield. Most of the sharp edges and angles have been replaced with curved surfaces. I still prefer the classic knights of the mid 80s, but this Vladek's design beats the original by a country mile. If were really lucky, the jelly bean look of the other knights will be dropped for a more traditional look. One can only hope...

Well it would be nice, but I seriously doubt it. Just because TLC might make some cooler bad guys does not mean that they will make better heros, sad as that is.

Everything you just said was true. But still being TheOrk in all I'd still have to say bad guys are better
This could be a good thing or a bad thing... I'm afraid...
But... I think the future is bright... anyone know when all of this is supposed to come out?
Knight Templar
n. pl. Knights Templars or Knights Templar
1.A member of an order of knights founded about 1118 to protect pilgrims in the Holy Land during the Second Crusade.
Had to modify after I looked at another post. That poster that first sparked my interest in all this said 2005 January. So thats rather nice to hear, means that it'll be sooner than I thought.
As for the armor changing, I doubt they can get much worse, maybe they'll darken the colors a bit. Dark blue, Darker Green, Dark Red (would love it) and a darker purple.
If they made them all darker I think it would really add alot to the sets. No more Bright bright colors hehe.
There are new big versions of all of the five knights and the king coming out in January. No news of minifig scale sets. However, if the big knights are less monocolored, then the minfig versions might look better too. That would be nice.
Rogue knights... they sound cool. They sound like mercenaries that could work for either side. In fact, I bet they will play a role on both sides in the storyline. Hopefully they will have their own emblem, and hopefully it will be cool.
I picture them as being fairly brown, with leather armors like the Bulls or two of the Dark Forest guys. Brown capes too. Unfortunately, it will be new brown which I don't like. They will probably be thematically similar to Wolfpack. If they get a nice fortress, I will be very happy. Notice I said "nice" - that's the unlikely part.
Gargoyles will be nice to give the knights a fantasy race to fight against. Being animated statues will hopefully allow the knights to actually swing their "swords" at them. Each gargoyle will probalby look exactly the same which is a bit of a downer, but I doubt that any set will come with more than 1 or 2 of them anyway. It shouldn't be too hard to mod the gargoyles into demons or angels.
Sorceress... could be very cool. If the picture is even remotely similar to the minifig, it appears that she will wear dark red robes, and have a hood and a cape. Could be similar to a dark red version of dumbledore. She will be cool if she isn't given an ugly torso or cheesy face. (Vladek has a cheesy face)
