Sounds cool when can we here more?
That sounds pretty cool how you compare those two factions, but what about the
bulls? In my "lego world" I used The Bulls and The Wolfpack together as a
Mercenary Guild who sell their services to the highest bidder. For the Leader
of the WP/Bulls is a druid named Harlan (Brown Cowl,Brown cape, WP torso,
Iceplanet 2002 old guy face and Homemade Staff)I'd like to describe their
Alignment as Chaotic Neutral with a streak of evil. They are idolized as
heroes by some and spit on like criminals by others. I also use the Forestmen
but I use them as elves instead (although there is a satyr in their ranks)well
those are just my thoughts

Ah, foo. I forgot about the Bulls. In my world, they are the "real" bad
guys. None of the other factions like them or deal with them. They're just
a "keep to themselves except when the want more land or moolah" type of
minifigs. Also, like the ideas about the elves. I might have to check into
that...What do you use for legs?

Shouldn't that be Moo-lah? =]
Just milking another bad joke from the udder-ly silly Bull faction. Now I'll
be hoofin' it out of here.

I think that any bull kingdom should use the official currency of
moolah. It doesn't sound like anyone is actually going to be giving
them a kingdom. I know that I'm not. But that would be a good name for
their coins.

Sounds like a plan, man. BTW, if I ever get enough bricks, I might consider
doing some sort of volcano-ish fiery fortress to house the Bulls. Just a
thought.

Cheez, I'm havin' a cow! I calf stand this anymore...
My Bull section is udder-ly unimportant. I have four of 'em and prefer to
ignore them. I might use the torsos that came w/o the emblem but the others
can stay in storage for now. The faces all came to a good use, tho'.

I guess I wasn't the only one who used the bulls as Mercenary Guild/Camp. My
evil prince hires them as a group to help him win the war. I guess I had
better explain a little of my story board.
I noticed that the new 2000 knights have a very similar crest to the Royal
Knights. I'm using the Royal Knights as a rebellious prince who is jealous
because his older brother is getting the throne. Now daddy(the 2000 King and
his knights) have to stop him from taking over the kingdom.

Great ideas! I noticed the similar crest as well, and my RK and KK have
actually united. I use the different shields for different factions of the
army (eg swordsmen use the KK shield while spearmen have the RK shield).

I'll come out of hiding because you're talking about something I'm
interested in... figuring out how to organize my knights, if/when I
decide to create a large(ish) castke... ;)
OK, I have a total of 1 or 2 RK. Since I'll have so few compared to
the KK, I'd use them (or their bodies/shields) as elite/unique soldiers
of the KK. The old "crusaders" I have would be somehow aligned with the
KK/RK (lion thing and all), but I never decided as to how. The Black
Falcons and Black Monarchs are also aligned, and probably in a similar
maner as before, with the BF being a subgroup of the BM (because of
name, really). The guys with the crossed axes on their bodies are
rent-a-guard (like the Monty Python and the Holy Grail... should give
them the new kettle helms :) ). I have 1(!) wolfpack, so I don't know
how he fits in. The Bulls are mercs. At some point the magic guys pop
in (I allign the Dragon Masters and the FK, with the FK in charge), or I
could use the DM symbols as an elite group of BM, with the FK symbol
guys as a non-magical 3rd faction. :)
