While I like the knights of the current line I HATE the Skeletons. I find that they are not as versatile as past enemies and they are less playable due to their limited arm movement, that's why I'm really looking forward to the Troll faction expansion next year as seen in the Dwarf mine.

Having said that I'd say that the Dragon Masters are still my favorite, I wish I had bought more of them back in the day.

I agree with the skellies. While I don't mind the occasional skeleton thrown in to a set, a whole faction of skellies is the worst army of all time. Give me the orcs or trolls any day!

The Crown Knights are definitely the best yet, though the only factions I don't like are KK2 and non-human (nothing wrong with the non-human ones...just not interested in collecting those, though the skull shields are great). KK1 Lions have fallen down my list of favorites, though....It was the series that got me playing with castle lego again, but the colors just clash too much....the knight that came with the castle and "prison" set (that had the chrome breastplate) is a very nice fig though.

Thankfully the trolls will become the major enemy soon. Something soldi to kill!!!
I only use Black Falcons, though I own Dragon masters, Knights Kingdom (The coloured Knights e.g. Danju) and New Castle as well. The reasons being (for BF): I "inheirted" them from my cousins, hence my first medieval LEGOs. Also the colours, and emblem (I love Falcons). All in a nutshell: one of the best teams I've played as.

As it took me many years to find salvation from the dark ages, I have missed many of these great factions.

I do have a bunch of knights from each of hese factions thanks to an AFOL in Germany who sold me the vast majority of his minifigs (a large blue Lego container full); however, none of the sets.

When I started buying again it was initially Star Wars sets and Harry Potter. As such I have to call the new Castle line with the knights specifically being by favourite.

Why, mostly due to availability. Throw in colours, weapons, armour, etc, and it is a done deal. The line also seems to be getting back to darker factions, which will make nice additions to my future LOTR scene.

Must have more orcs!

Lee

1st: Forestmen

2nd: Black falcons

3rd: New Undead Line

All these factions to me seem to be the protaganists because they have
the most people using the generic grin head, Thats just me A non
maniacle smile means "I'm the good guy, vote for me!"


That's just me.

I don't understand why everyone hates an army of all skeletons. We have so many human factions, and yeah dwarves and orcs are cool but I see nothing wrong with fighting an army of skeletons. There are lots of good computer games where you fight skeletons as well as orcs and stuff. It helps '(because) you can make a really decent horde by mixing all these evil races together.

Lions from the King's Castle of the mid-eighties are what brought me out of my dark ages so they will have a special place in my world. This gave KKI and the Royal Knights an advantage of having a predisposition towards Lion factions. Those three are my most favorite if I had to pick one(well, three, I kind of link them). Out of those, no don't make me pick a top one out of those, I would be debating that question for a long while.

And I always hate fighting skellies in games too!!! Well, at least someone wants skellies. More power to you!

I actually prefer these knights to the Black Falcons. I think that's because I never owned the Crusader's Castles and really wanted them when I was a kid. Fortunately I owned quite a few of them from smaller sets. They are one of my favorites.

black knights. they look the coolest, have the most defendable castles, have the highest ratio of figs, and have a navy.

nr.1 - vikings. just love them
nr.2 - undead line (both skeletons and humans look cool)
nr.3 - black falcons, dragon masters, black monarch....

line that i already love althou its not yet so out orcs-dwarfs-troll combination for 2008. will have to buy LOT of boxes.
