I have to agree that this is probably the worst castle ever (even worse then
6098), but as James said, new weapons, alot of new helmets/visors, new
colors for the horse head cover, a great executer mini-fig and alot of parts
to use for our castle’s so who cares that it’s not TLC best models ever.

Glorious bad castles!
I’m not pleased with the mixture of old and new here. Flame me for saying
this, but I think Lego would be advantaged by dumping all old Castle elements
in favor of all new ones that are designed in a shared style. For example,
the old and new helmets. There are new curvy helms (plus not so old jousting
helms), and they clash with the same-old-morion-nose-guard thingies designed
in an era when all minifigs smiled. To go with the brightly colored
bascinets, imagine if there were an all-new morion-style helm with just a
noseguard sticking down, not a perfect cone either.

Actually, the Armada Pirates helmet is the morion. What you refer to as a
morion is more of a spangen-constructed Norman/Viking style.
It’s hard to tell with blurry pictures, but the new open faced helmet looks like
a barbutte and is another great addition like the kettle hat was in the previous
KK. I’m not sure what I’d term the closed faced helmet until I get a better
look at it.
