I think that some rams had a low hung roof over them for protection from hot oil and rocks... But think about it... A Siege tower gets you over a wall. A Ram breaks down a gate...timber_wolf899 wrote:Isnt that historical though? I mean not the silly catapult, having a tower over your ram.
That being said i do want to make mysel fa large armored ram with peaked roof, and mayhaps an archery tower.
They do not really compliment each other ya know? You are not going to use the ram on a 20-foot thick wall. And the tower is not going to get you over the gate house, which is normally taller than the adjacent walls.
It is still a cool set thought!

Pros:
1. Smallest set with "Troll Commander" until the impulse set comes out!
2. Siege tower design better than Knights Kingdom siege towers!
3. Handcuffs! (I got two pairs!)
4. Crossbowman!
Cons:
1. Only one castle wall piece...I'll never be able to rebuild the classic sets in new colors.
2. "Troll Commander" lacks a shield.
3. No weapons for the Troll in the prison.

what's ^up^ with that? the tower's kinda cool, but not the 1st set I'd coose.

who ever finds the Golden Sword of the ancient Kings is just a lucky person.

Last week I bought the Tower Raid, Mine Defender, and Assault Wagon - the Tower Raid is the only one I have not put together yet.
I do love the Defender and the Wagon, they are both just so well put together with very impressive minifigs and great designs.
I love the way the Troll Construction looks slapped together with boards strewn about with a fierce and rustic look, the design is so consitent between each piece of troll architecture - and the same carries through to the Skeleton, Crownie, and Dwarf factions.
I think the templates Lego has created for each building style are wonderful, these official sets let us dream up countless variations, vehicles, and fortresses that are designed in the "style" of the chosen faction.
I think the Tower Raid is very evocative and I would like to buy multiple sets so that the Troll army could lay siege to the King's Castle Siege set which I don't own. Oh wait

P.S. If you need help making MOCs, making posts, or don't know what to do next, please, let me know! I'm here to help!
