Knights

Post by Zee »

I have some knights in various colours. I do like how the new medium blue colour turned out with the pointed visor and yellow dragon plumes, pretty nice looking to me. :D

Those are great!

I think it's been said before, but the rune knight would look beter without the red arms...

Those Ravens are fantastic! Keep up the Good Work!

I love the Lionheart Knights. I wish I had that much Euro armor (I only have 1) but, I just gotta remember the saying: If wishes were horses then beggars would ride. Great job Zee :D

Hi Henry, all parts can be had thru BrickLink, but it might be costly though. It took me a few months to get what I needed because I was only buying when the price of the items was among the lowest available. A real lengthy process to form up my knights, but was well worth it at the end. :wink:

Ok, here's my Rune Dragon Knight without the red arms, as well as another picture of the blue knight. :D

Even though you have made better use of those KK2 torsos than TLG, I still think baby blue is a terrible color for a knight :P I do like the knights with the lion shield, but they look odd having dragon plumes. I think they would look better with the feather plumes, but that's just a matter of opinion.

In a literal and historical sense, the baby blue is well, blah, but for fantasy settings and characters the light blue, which I call Sky Blue is actually quite cool, say for a race of Sky Elves, or the Lufens from Final Fantasy 1...

Yup, a dragon emblem shield would be ideal with the dragon plume. Actually I already got the triangular dragon shields, but somehow the colours just didn't cut it for me when I used them. The lion shields was definitely better.

I will try out with the feathered plumes but probably still retain the wings, sort of a feather plumed winged helm perhaps. Thanks for the heads up mister_e :D

I read alot of fantasy books, so I am more receptive to the new colours perhaps. But out of all the jellybean armours, I only liked the green and med-blue though. :wink:

Those Lionhearts are really starting to grow on me - I like the black and red, and I've never even seen that many HP sheilds in one place.

Of course, as I've said before, the Rune Knights are sweet (w/out red arms), and my favorite.

I don't mind the baby blue knights as much if they are used in a fantasy setting, as bosses said, they make a great sky elves faction, or something similiar to that. As soon as you try to fit them into the "real world" of heradly, it does become much more difficult to accept though.
