Yah, most people do. In fact, I do too. But I decided to try those out, 'cause
I realized I had as much swords as 4811 figs... I also have a non-mounted
swordsmen unit, using the grey swords.

Meanwhile I olnly have one extra king fig, I used one as the Prince's body.
King Marck's current face (different from the current web pics) is NOT the Leo
