6040 - Blacksmiths Shop
6041 - Armour Shop
6061 - Siege Tower
6062 - Battering Ram
6073 - Knights Castle
6074 0 Black Falcons Fortress (4 points of connection)
6080 - Kings Castle
6081 - Kings Mountain Fortress (Kinda - only 1 point of connection)
-black walls -
6059 - Knights Stronghold
6085 - Black Monarchs Castle
I gotta say the idea of the connecting walls to create uber castles was the

are worthy of note because the sets focus is on the siege weaponry but there
is a modular stretch of wall included - fantastic
