Actually... I like that!

Yep! Definitly a good idea... I could easily contribute a Bull's Attack,
2 Catapult Crushers, 2 Axe carts, and the little siege vehicle from 6098 as
well... (not to mention 11 Moo Men...) Plus any more that I acquire in the
meantime, and maybe some siege vehicles of our own design.

Sounds cool!

I'm guessing that Fright Knights and Dragon Masters will probably look the best
alongside the Bulls, but of course I haven't tried any of it yet, so I don't
know... I've got 64 Fright Knight warriors to contribute, 18 Dragon Masters,
and 11 Wolfpack figs (And I can scrounge up some different style heads) It'd be
really cool if we could scrounge up a hundred or two attacking warriors
(that's two hundred, not two :) )... For the Star Wars display, we had... about
40 scouts all rampaging through the forest, and it looked good, but it wasn't
NEARLY the quantity of 'raging horde'.
For the King's army, I'm not sure what would look best... as much as my first
impression shouted that the new castle guys would be a continuation of Royal
Knights, they just don't quite fit in... I'm not sure what would look best...
But I've got 30 Royal Knights guards/knights, and 10 of Leo's Knights (this
number destined to increase)... I don't think we need quite the quantity of
these guys as raging horde 'figs... unless there's an ongoing battle wherein
the King's knights have actually left the saftey of the castle wall to attack
the barbarians hand to hand...

Quite cool!
I can probably throw together a big section of castle wall, depending on what
we decide to use as a format (using 5x6 castle wall sections vs. solid
bricks)... I've got VAST ... VAST amounts of grey 5x6 wall sections, but not as
many spare grey bricks... I'll have to see how much castle wall I could put
together with either method....
