I've been inspired, recently, by many original creations to experiment with
mixing parts from other themes to create unique characters and/or armies. I'm
hoping to get some feedback about the appropriateness (is that a word?!) of
using the following items with the castle theme - let me know if any of these
would be egregiously out of place or improper due to time period, etc.:
1. I was thinking of using the black samurai helmets on some of the Fright
Knights figs - the grey and dk grey are usable too, but I like the black.
2. What about using the triangular hats from the pirates theme for a nobleman's
hat? or is that too nautical or maritime?
3. And how 'bout the pirates cutlass for a more dignified nobleman's sword?
4. Is anyone using the samurai body armor for non-ninja knights?
Thanks in advance,
Bill

| Well, let's see: 1. I'm waiting for those new technic sets to show up so I can grab some trans-blue spears for my Alpine King's men. 2. I'm using black dragon wings, Ninja facemasks, and maybe some Ninja glide wings for the Army of the Dark Tower (...) (25 years ago, 11-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)

| The adventurers hat would also work as an alternative hat. The airman's cap might work as a leather helmet. Of course the adventurers backpack for a dungeon explorer, complete with lance (10' pole) and a pick or other tool... The pharaoh's (...) (25 years ago, 11-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)
