I like the idea of putting skelly heads on the faded Lions & Axes
torsos. For now they are forming the "Blues' and the 'Blacks'
fractions :) None of the Falcons show even the slightest bit of fade
- which is ok since I like them better then the Lions & Axes.

A side note: I'm really surprized by the condition of the horses,
especially the white ones. All of them look like they just came out of
the box, still shiny and very little wear marks (if any). I have some
white horses I acquired from Brickbay that show a heck of a lot
more wear and fade than these beauties.

Also, all the lions minifigures except for 3 has had the yellow
lion

faded to the point that they have just a blue shield on their
torsos,

and all the 'crossed axes' mini figs except for one has had the
gold

faded to the point that they have just a black shield (with a blue

border) on their torsos. Any suggestions on resortation?



I have 6 Crusaders and 6 Black Falcons like this. Very irritating
now. I

always assumed they faded because I used to make the guys
"swim" in sinks,

paddling pools etc as a child, and never dried off the water,
stupid kid as

I was. I usually use these torsos for soldiers who have old, poor
quality

armour like peasant archers etc. Alternatively, I give the faded
torso

Crusaders the blue lion crusader shields, as these don't really
match the

lion Crusader torsos, which have gold lions. Or, you could use
the faded

tosos for armour for zombie soldiers, razed from the dead, who
have rusty

faded armour. If you have extra skeleton heads, you could put
those on

instead of the standard minifig heads, for undead dudes.



cheers



Magnus
