This part of the art of Lego.  Adding to a theme to increase the size of the
army.

I took the newest and last armada soliders (green and red) and added them to
the Woodsmen and old Lion Armies.  They became officers or minor nobles
whatever you wish to call them.  Give them the Dragon Master Helmets or the
Bush hats from the new adventurer theme.  Presto more troops.  My old Lion army
is over 61 and counting and there are 49 merry men for the King of the
Woodsmen, actually Qui-Gon-Jinn with a crown instead of his hair.  Darth Maul
with a different head becomes King of the evil Witches, etc.   I look forward
to the challenge of filling the ranks. Add female head to new longhorns figure
and we'll have Dennis Rodman.

very respectfully,
don

I will take 50 shoguns over 50 kings anyday.  Heck even 50 batlords are
better than 50 of those stupid kings.  The new 6026 would have been the
set i likely would have wanted 50 of.  Not with that @#$%&* king
though.  Also why dose 6095 have ANOTHER king instead of the
princess/queen.  If it wasn't for the 3 kings and only one princess I
would say this new incarnation of castle is better.  Unless a polybag
set with a "saucer helmet" knight is relased I will have no choice but
to think Ninja and even fright knights is better.

(Classic lions could be the queens gaurd, royal knights could be the
king's gaurd, this new theme I could finnally afford a sizable army for
the standard military.  THREE KINGS.  @#$%^&*@#$%^&*@#$$%^^&*  DOH!!

I WOULDN'T mind the three kings, but there aren't enough of the regular
soldiers at ALL! By my count of "Royal Knights 2" figs:
6026 - 1 soldier + 1 king
6091 - 3 soldiers + 1 king + 1 princess (+2 moo men & 1 skeleton)
6094 - 1 soldier (+1 moo man)
6095 - 1 soldier + 1 king (+1 moo man)
Wagon?(p16) - 1 soldier?
Grand total: 6(7?) soldiers + 3 kings + 1 princess = 10 or 11 figs!?!?

Sigh, it's gonna cost SO much money to build up a good army. Hence my army
will probably stay small :(  Even if I bought 2 of every set I wouldn't have
enough to have a good army (14 soldiers? Come on!) PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
PLEASE HAVE A POLYBAG OR MINIFIG PACK! "Help me Polybag! You're my only hope!"

What ever happened to the good old days? When castles came with 12 figs? I • mean
that's more figs in 1 set than you'd get from this whole theme!
