Any ideas for medieval races in a half-fantasy half-realistic world?  So far,
I have:

Ice Knights:  white-uniformed figs armed with the trans-blue spears, they live
to the north of the continent using arctic baseplates and polar bears.

Barbarians:  Figs using a mixture of pirate, indian, castle, and stingray
elements to create a barbarian-ish look, they are armed with axes, pikes, and
clubs.  They live in the western mountains in crude societies that often
declare war on each other.

Dark Elves:  The forestmen with the black markings on their torsos with old
black-belt green-leg space police lower bodies, yellow hands, black feathers
on their brown hat, and black arms.  They are expert assassins, using the
aquazone knives, and crossbows.  I made their forest out of black tree
elements, going for a dark and swampy feeling.

Elves:  Normal forestmen living in a treetop village in the forests not far
from the Imperial Castle.  They are divided into three categories:  Red, blue,
brown, and yellow-marked forestmen, signifying their rank and regiments.  They
use normal brown bows and pirate cutlasses.

Raiders:  Wolfpack renegades, they live in forest-based hideouts and even have
some hideouts in the mountains where they stash their pirate coins and
adventurers rubies.

Peasants:  These farmers and workers populate the countryside around the
Imperial Castle.  They provide food to almost every race on the continent.

Imperials:  Royal knights based in the central east.  They are basically the
U.S. of the medieval world and have established small outposts in far-off
lands to protect its people, gaining that land's favor in times of war.  They
use primarily spears and swords.  The Lord Knight rides upon a large white
dragon that I made.  It has red lights in its mouth, causing a fire-like
effect.

That's all the races I currently have in my universe, but I'm trying to
expand.  Anyone have any other races?

I had a similar idea when I saw those wonderful trans-blue spears that will be
coming out soon.  Also, you could use clear (trans-white?) helmets with a black
visor, and maybe a silver breastplate, to make a truly icy look.  And don't
those dark gray peasant shields come in some trans-colors?  I'm pretty sure
there were some trans-red ones in some old space sets....  If those come in
clear or trans-blue they could make fantastic ice shields.

I'm curious:  what heads do you use for these guys?

My world isn't as fleshed out yet as yours (since it's only in planning
stages until my space creation is done), but here are the factions in store:

Kingdom of Mitteland, ruled by King Frederik I and his son the Prince.  This
is the main setting for goings-on.  The King's men bear the gold lion.
Frederik's men garison several outposts throughout the land.  The king also
has a private orchard and forest, in which he hunts stag.

Duke of Falkmir -- the Duke is subservient to the King, but he has his own
soldiers, the Order of the Silver Falcon.

Earl of Caer Drak -- the Earl and his army bear the emblem of a dragon.
They too serve the King, circumstances allowing.

The Woodspeople -- said to carry within their veins the blood of a long-lost
Elven race, the Woodsmen and their king live in the Dark Forest on the
western fringe of the kingdom, holding feasts and dabbling in elven-magic.
Sometimes they get along with Frederik's men, sometimes not.  These are made
up of forestment and dark forest minifigs.

Bandits -- bandits inhabit the wooded regions to the southwest.  Some
believe that they have a secret stronghold in the caves.  Bandits will be
made up of various pieces from castle and wild west.

The Alpine Kingdom -- though sparsely populated, the imposing snowy
mountains to the north are the location of a mystical castle and it's king.
The Alpine King's Guard carry magical ice spears (trans blue).  They wear
black, white, and blue, and their carts are drawn by tamed polar bears.  The
Alpine King is said to have many powers, but he and his men rarely make
contact with the outside world.

The Army of the Dark Tower -- one day, a magical black tower mysteriously
appears in the Mistlands to the east.  Their Dark Lord and his men ride
black dragons and wear the black fright knight helmets.  They also wear
Ninja wrappings to hide their visages.

Where are you getting trans-blue spears from!?  I did not know there were any,
they don't appear in any of my vast collection.
Also, in my kingdom I use the entire Ninja line (with black bows from Wild
West) for the Elves.  The red ninjas are the Elven King's private guard, and I
use the Emperor for the Elven King (gold crown).  The ninja swords make great
Elven blades, and since Elves wear lighter armor (in the books that matter
[Hail Tolkien]) you don't have to change the torso or the helmet.  The samari
swordsman makes up the Elven Cavalry in their heavy armor.
As a side note, Dart Maul and Obi-Wan from the Episode one collection make
good Druids.  My Mauls are all Nazgul riding winged steeds (black wings on
black horses).  Rock Monsters are nice for Trolls or Stone Giants.  I am still
working on the placement of all elements, but you can see that I am influenced
by J.R.R. Tolkien.
Happy Building!!!

The spear will be out soon (if not already in some areas) as part of the
newest Throwbot-Technic line. The one that has it is not technically (sorry
for the pun) a Throwbot, but it's marketing and design have the same features.
They are called "Robot Riders." The one that has the trans-lt-blue spears is
called "Frost," #8511, (notice the simular numbering?)I'm gonna buy up scads
of them.

Ah yes, I forgot about the goblins that live in the mountains to the south.

Well, I'm planning (and starting) that type of world right now.
My main types of characters/races are gonna be: (notice I have many names
missing. I haven't thought of those yet.)

The [Imperial? Royal? Monarchs?]: Good King Franz rules the Lion knights. He
has an army of his own, but mostly he oversees his Earls/Barons/Dukes and
their armies in a Feudal-like system of heirarchy. Each one of them has an
individual army (nicknamed Cubs, i.e. the children of the King Lion), but they
are all loyal to the king and bear his emblem (the royal knights / knight's
kingdom lions). Every army has it's own color and favored weapons (e.g. The
Oceanic Cubs, all with blue legs and arms, ruled by the Earl of [insert
name].). (1)

Forest dwellers: individual warriors, these people are mostly loners and
prefer not to live in the villages and towns. They build their own houses,
some atop trees, others not. They might cooperate with the king's soldiers or
they might cause them trouble - attacking several at a time, stealing their
weapons and treasure. One must be catious while encountering a Forest dweller,
or one might turn up dead. (Some of them ARE nice, though. One never knows. :-)

~(The following categories are stuff that I'd LIKE to do, but I'll be damned
if I ever manage to have enough money to accomplish)~

The Bully Bulls: With their own King, the Bulls are down-right enemies of
Franz and his allies. They want to acquire the vast lands that Franz's
citizens accomodate, and they are managing to do so, little by little. Asa of
this moment, they are not at war with the [Imperial guys] but they're only
waiting for a spark. The bulls are very aggresive, BTW, and are constantly
trying to develop new and unexpected war tactics. Their Evil and Devious King
lives in the Castle of [name undecided yet] and often pays forest dwellers to
attack the Cubs.

Peasants/villagers: Poor farmers, each working under a baron or earl (another
characteristic of a feudal system) or (if they are on the Bulls' land) trying
to work while being extremely exploited.
They live in small towns or villages, working on their Baron's estate (again,
only if they are loyal to the royal (2) knights).

I might have s'more guys inspired from yours but I don't have many other races
(only one dragon guy, two forestmen, one Black Knight, no Crusaders, Dark
Foresters or anything else)

So far,
I have:

Ice Knights:  white-uniformed figs armed with the trans-blue spears, they live
to the north of the continent using arctic baseplates and polar bears.

Cool. I think many people were inspired by those trans-blue spears, and I'd
love to have some.

Barbarians:  Figs using a mixture of pirate, indian, castle, and stingray
elements to create a barbarian-ish look, they are armed with axes, pikes, and
clubs.  They live in the western mountains in crude societies that often
declare war on each other.

Good idea. Those are similar to my forestmen - I like to use a forest as a
setting for small groups, but mountains are definitely good for that too. (I
just don't have enough BURPs to make large-scaled mountains.


[snipped s'more good ideas]

I'd love to continue this discussion another time but I have to go.
Bye,
-Shiri

(1) The reason I'm doin' this is because I don't have enough men to create one
big, solid army. This way, I change the people around each time and I *feel*
like I have lots of people. :-)

(2) Don't you love how that sounds?

The shields in question did indeed come in trans-white (clear) in some old
Space sets, but those will probably be *very* hard to come by... there were
two in set 452/894 Mobile Tracking Station, from 1979. I don't recall any
more, but then again, there are a lot of sets I don't have. *grin*

I THINK that they might have come in trans-red as well, no?  That might make for
some sweet fire shields as well ... Dang - so many posibilites.  I need to go
home and work on characters alone - there is a project in itself.

By they way - if any of you get a chance, post some pictures of them and I will
try to do the same.  We all have great imaginations, but seeing is trully

Yeah, I won't even *try* to speculate what I might to with them, I'll just get
disappointed - I don't have these :-)

I have some newly taken pics from my blue army - the first in a line of (I
hope) many more. I think I'm going to get some sets over the weekend (I'm
going to TCS, anyone wanna join?) so I hope to find more stuff for the army. I
don't think you could call it an army - it's a tiny troop, consisting of six
unmounted warriors and three mounted knights, plus a magician on Pegasus...

I'm still trying to set up a site but I'll try to do it fast - It will
motivate me to work harder :-)

   The trans red shields are more common than the clear shields, as they
were available in more, newer, smaller classic Space sets.  Still neither is
very common.

two in set 452/894 Mobile Tracking Station, from 1979. I don't recall any
more, but then again, there are a lot of sets I don't have. *grin*

I THINK that they might have come in trans-red as well, no?  That might • make for
some sweet fire shields as well ... Dang - so many posibilites.  I need to • go
home and work on characters alone - there is a project in itself.

By they way - if any of you get a chance, post some pictures of them and I • will
try to do the same.  We all have great imaginations, but seeing is trully
appreciating (although some of your descriptions were very, very good ... )

  What would be extremely cool for an Ice Knight soldier would be a white mini-
fig with blue arms and hips, silver breastplate, clear shield, lt. trans blue
spear, ninja head, and a white ninja swath thing that goes on the head.  But
the sad thing is the swath doesn't fit on with the breastplate unless you do
some heavy modifying with an Exacto knife.  Maybe someday.  Oh, and aren't the
silver breastplates found in Imperial Armada sets or what?
