Torsos? Yes.
Heads? One of them, which is also from Orient Expedition.

I really like that you created a new faction by using the new Potter-shield.

The catapult looks really smooth and works! But I wonder, does it work in a realistic manner or just a lego-ish manner?

´That lools good! I never saw someone using a KK catapult so well. The figs are wel chosen, and the brown plates on the catapult makes it realy good.

Yes, it´s sure goodlooking but does it work? Nice to see the use of the Durmstrang shield too ;)

It seems like it does, step back in the gallery. ;)
The rubberbands and all gotta be used for something!

Why do I feel like being Nathans's press-release informant?

Very nice Nathan! A nice mix of themes (I like the Durmstrang flag :D ). I'd like to see it in action.

Good color scheme. Why can't LEGO sell catapults like this (especially ones including three figures!)?

I agree with others... why doesn't TLG make catapaults like these. Is it possible you could transfer one vote from the skull knight (In the admin pick contest) to your catapault? And... if it wins, I expect some instructions :wink:

Nice shape and I love the Normanesk grey knights... new brown also serves well for these more man made structures...

God Bless,

Nathan
