    Accessories from other themes... —Bill Farkas
   I've been inspired, recently, by many original creations to experiment with mixing parts from other themes to create unique characters and/or armies.

     I personally have an army of forest elves and I don't use the regular castle swords for them. I use the pirate's cutlasses, just because they look better in the hands of an elf than in the hands of a charging armored knight. I'm also using the (...)

     (...) I can't really think of a western equivalent of the japanese helmet, but I wouldn't let that stop me if I liked it. It's purpose is the same as the western helmet: save one's brains from a metal weapon. (...) nobleman's (...) Too obviously (...) (24 years ago, 11-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)

     (...) Whenever I have skeletons running about, they for some reason tend to be wearing the dark grey samurai helmets and samurai armor. It makes them look quite a bit more menacing than just having naked skeletal warriors running about. It's also (...) (24 years ago, 11-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)

     (...) Hey Cool! Mind if I snitch that idea? ;) (...) My Heralds use King Leo's body and wear the peasant coif. They are also equipped with WW Bugles. (...) Never tried that one, but Darth Maul's head looks really evil in that helmet. The eyes almost (...) (24 years ago, 11-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)

     Well, let's see: 1. I'm waiting for those new technic sets to show up so I can grab some trans-blue spears for my Alpine King's men. 2. I'm using black dragon wings, Ninja facemasks, and maybe some Ninja glide wings for the Army of the Dark Tower (...) (24 years ago, 11-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)

        Re: Accessories from other themes... —Frank Filz
    The adventurers hat would also work as an alternative hat. The airman's cap might work as a leather helmet. Of course the adventurers backpack for a dungeon explorer, complete with lance (10' pole) and a pick or other tool... The pharaoh's (...) (24 years ago, 11-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)

   (...) The Armada chromed breastplate works well, and the morion helmet isn't that far off to be drafted into use, also. I use the coin sprue as ingots of gold. Bruce (24 years ago, 11-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)
