Black Falcons - 51

The Black Falcons are my favorite (and are the "main" force in my kingdom), so
I'm curious -- do you make your Black Falcons in the "classic" style (like
from the Knight's Castle and Black Falcons Fortress) or do you make yours in
the "newer" style, like the Black Falcon guys who came with the Sea Serpent
(gray legs, gray helmet for the bow and arrow guys)?  I prefer the latter;
it's such a classy look.

Well... that's a toughie... 95% of the time, I store my guys exactly as they
came in the sets... but when I acutually use them in displays, etc, I mix 'em
up... Actually, my preferred method for black falcons is blue torso w/ black
falcon emblem, black arms, yellow hands, black waist, blue legs, and black
helmet... The only time I can think that a black falcon fig came like this
though, was in 6059, Knight's Stronghold... BTW, Black Knights vs. Black
Falcons... usually I regard them as different "teams", but they actually came
TOGETHER in the Sea Serpent! Are there any more crossover sets indicating an
alliance/oneness between the two?

(+ 4 maidens, 9 ghosts, and *1* peasant)

My LEGO collection is pretty humble in all aspects, but I'm happy to say this
is where my kingdom really shines.  :)  I've got as many maidens and peasants
as I do soldiers!

WOW! Are they actually bona fide peasant figs/maidens? If not, what have you
been using to make 'em? I've estimated that I could make about 50 or so
peasants by cannibalizing different themes (Star Wars and Pirate particularly),
but I haven't actually gone through and done it... Any other recommendations
for maidens, peasants?

(...) The only sets that both the Black Falcons and the Black Knights ever came together are 6057 Sea Serpent and 6059 Knights Stronghold. Even though they came together in these two sets I think of it as more of a confrontation than a cooperation. (...) (25 years ago, 31-Dec-99, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Wow, I totally forgot about that set! I've been wanting to get all of the Black Falcons' vehicles and war machines, since they're my favorites, and I completely missed that blue catapult. Thanks for mentioning that! (...) Perhaps the small (...) (25 years ago, 31-Dec-99, to lugnet.castle)
