My forces are quite humble compared to some of teh vast armies out there, but I've spent soem time organising them into factions and such. One thing I try to do with some factions is to make the guys all look a bit different, I think it is a little (...) (23 years ago, 7-Feb-02, to lugnet.castle)

(...) you can also use the blue "goalie" torso that is like the d.grey fright knight torso w/ the silver circles. I use them mostly for my black falcon archers because the quiver covers the printed 1 on the back. (...) if you are talking about the (...) (23 years ago, 7-Feb-02, to lugnet.castle)

(...) I think the thing that bugs me most about them is that they have 3 different torso patterns, and a fourth on their shields. I would optimally like a faction to have the same single heraldic device on their shields and torsos. For this reason I (...) (23 years ago, 8-Feb-02, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Oh no! Now I have to list my factions in order of preference! Curse you! :-) I'm only refering to the minifigs, not the sets that go with it (which would change the list radically). 1. Black Falcons: my son and I agree, our favorites! 2. (...) (23 years ago, 8-Feb-02, to lugnet.castle)

(...) The thing that bugs me most about the Dragon Masters is that they are hideously ugly and don't seem to be related to any actual historical period that I can discern, although their helmets look Roman and their architecture is vaguely (...) (23 years ago, 8-Feb-02, to lugnet.castle)

(...) I agree, roughly, with this list. I would probably put crusaders and classic a little higher, and knock Knight's Kingdom down near the bottom of the list. I don't like the too-distinctive minifig face prints, although the KK guys look a bit (...) (23 years ago, 8-Feb-02, to lugnet.castle)

(...) These things are always a matter of personal taste, of course. I don't care for yellow/blue/red primary color combinations, and the Crusaders border on that with the yellow lion rampant shield. Once I mix in the scale-mail guys, I like them (...) (23 years ago, 8-Feb-02, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Maybe I can explain...I think wolfpack are juniorized because, while similar to peasants from the earlier lines, they are more "cartoony" and specialized. While a couple of "old-school" peasants could fit in well in a number of different (...) (23 years ago, 8-Feb-02, to lugnet.castle)

Yes, as both Aaron and Bruce said, these things are a matter of taste. Personally, I enjoy the Wolfpack because the sets provide a crest for a small but important faction in my story (named, appropriately, the Wolfpack...original, huh?)... But (...) (23 years ago, 8-Feb-02, to lugnet.castle)
