Title: playkingdoms' knights
Post by: tahra on February 17, 2013, 20:02:06
Here are our knights... missing most horses. And all dragons.

Our original king, with his guard slightly expanded
(http://www.playkingdoms.com/temp/playmoproc/medieval051.jpg)


The tower faction, likewise.
(http://www.playkingdoms.com/temp/playmoproc/medieval052.jpg)

Wish I had another of these shields. But only have the tiny one - would be.. awkward.

The swanns - also expanded... and even reduced this time.

Gotta love those 90's Knights they all look great, I've got to say though I like your Swan archers and I'm guessing the Swan fella with yellow trousers and sleeves is a custom figure? he looks good  :)

Yep he is... (a better use for the clown hats!)..  maybe the archers too.. I don't remember  :-[

I think these are better than MOST recent ones... with their weird blinkywinkies...  But there are plenty amazing ones now too - like those white falcons :love:

More to come...

About as many as I have of these factions, aside the swans. I have less of those but am actively restricting myself to a single gold knight and prefer to only get additional swan squires. As far as I know the fellow in the pink shirt and the woman in the pink dress that come with the fleur de lis king are also part of the tower faction considering the paper that herald is carrying.

Great customisations! 

Title: Re: playkingdoms' knights
Post by: tahra on February 18, 2013, 09:00:47
Those others are with the "court"... The queen came with the king..

(we have a bunch more swans somewhere... "naked" knights... don't know yet if they'll pop, or go to mount 3)
Title: Re: playkingdoms' knights
Post by: tahra on February 18, 2013, 19:19:44
Some more...

One of the lions... Have no idea what to call all of these - Red lions?
(http://www.playkingdoms.com/temp/playmoproc/medieval055.jpg)

On that first pic, the fourth guard is fat ;) as is the last guy on the bottom row. It's usually not easy to put a fat guy in uniform... But this time..


The yellow lions?
(http://www.playkingdoms.com/temp/playmoproc/medieval056.jpg)

The first guys are the catapult crew (expanded)..


Checkered lions?  (gah)
(http://www.playkingdoms.com/temp/playmoproc/medieval057.jpg)
Title: Re: playkingdoms' knights
Post by: tahra on February 19, 2013, 20:05:29
MORE yellow lions..
(http://www.playkingdoms.com/temp/playmoproc/medieval058.jpg)


The crowned lions.
(http://www.playkingdoms.com/temp/playmoproc/medieval059.jpg)


Darth Vader - I mean... purple dragons.
(http://www.playkingdoms.com/temp/playmoproc/medieval060.jpg)

The first guy is left handed. His right wrist doesn't turn, for some reason - don't remember if I checked - maybe he's not originally ours and has it glued... And couldn't get that helmet's visor to freaking stay up!


Mounted crossbowmen - custom suggested by that AWESOME hat thingie :love:

Very nice gotta say I've always liked the Purple Dragons the fella with the orange beard works well, Crowned Lions are also very nice looking and your mounted crossbowmen look very smart  :)

Thanks! My sister's idea - as with most wizards. They all have the torso with the dragon in the back...


And some more...

Cruzaders - might join the portuguese king..
(http://www.playkingdoms.com/temp/playmoproc/medieval062.jpg)

We were missing a shield, so we promoted one of them with a shield of a more recent version (popped).


Read eagle
(http://www.playkingdoms.com/temp/playmoproc/medieval063.jpg)

A faction without real proper knights, I think... We assigned several to it - including those pikemen - ancient simple customs. And made the knight...


The wolves
(http://www.playkingdoms.com/temp/playmoproc/medieval064.jpg)

Love these guys.. added some from the bronze parts... And more might be added..


Yellow eagle / Red eagle / Black eagle (red) / Black eagle (black) - confused?
(http://www.playkingdoms.com/temp/playmoproc/medieval065.jpg)

We created the knight for that "multiboy" set with the blue caparison.. And also the one in the bottom - the original klicky (Meleager the Mighty <music>) changed heraldry (and only remained in armor because he was so named!), and seemed a waste to use one of them (we have several) here - he has such a beautiful chest!

Title: Re: playkingdoms' knights
Post by: DrDalek6 on February 20, 2013, 21:44:10
More great Knights in case you couldn't tell I like this theme  ;D liking the blue and yellow Eagles all the guys on that top row in fact  :)
Title: Re: playkingdoms' knights
Post by: tahra on February 22, 2013, 21:03:42
And more..


Red falcons
(http://www.playkingdoms.com/temp/playmoproc/medieval066.jpg)


Lions! Red / Blue / Green / White
(http://www.playkingdoms.com/temp/playmoproc/medieval067.jpg)

As before, we assigned small bands - though I'm not very happy with the executioners there.. I LOVE the prince special since he appeared... Besides some popped ones (uhm.. maybe a crossbowman?) we made these...

The green shields were part of an american set.. with repeat knights. These popped, and we made those three from old green and black klickys.


Cow / Red wolf / Meteor / Bat / Green cross
(http://www.playkingdoms.com/temp/playmoproc/medieval068.jpg)

That first guy is Meleager.. The others were assigned as needed.. Including giving my sister's amazing bat knight the black knights! That design for the green squire is a PERFECT match for the shield - how amazing is that? I think that torso is from the merry men or the hideaway tree of the same time!


Bowmen / Owl
(http://www.playkingdoms.com/temp/playmoproc/medieval069.jpg)

The Owl was also improvised...


Red Dragon
(http://www.playkingdoms.com/temp/playmoproc/medieval070.jpg)

(love the color combination - same as the wolves!)


Green Dragon
(http://www.playkingdoms.com/temp/playmoproc/medieval071.jpg)

Still have a few helmets and a guy to add.. but we couldn't figure it out, so it'll wait.. The first one is an old klicky with the armor from the castle treasure add on.



Title: Re: playkingdoms' knights
Post by: Rhalius on February 22, 2013, 23:38:27
so many small factions, I'd assume you actively try to have many of them? personly I grouped various ones together, anything with a black lion on it belongs to prince edward.  :)

Title: Re: playkingdoms' knights
Post by: tahra on February 23, 2013, 06:08:52
Well, we try to have all of them :-[ , though we don't....

We'll just group them by animal.. all the lions, all the dragons..

Falcons: white / orange
(http://www.playkingdoms.com/temp/playmoproc/medieval072.jpg)

Bought that superset again, and improvised a couple of swordsmen for the extra shields. The Orange knight's friend was made too.


Double Ax
(http://www.playkingdoms.com/temp/playmoproc/medieval073.jpg)

Loved the yellow guy (special) except for the sword at the hip. Not handy at all. Anyways, since I kept a couple of them to pop, and figured those shields would go well with those tin knights.. there they went (again)..

The first horse guy is also an old custom (with a more recent shield and ax).. as is the last, the orange knight's friend :)


Unicorns
(http://www.playkingdoms.com/temp/playmoproc/medieval074.jpg)

The top middle ones are custom, as is the female knight. We took the unicorn head thing from the horse that came with the first playmodragon, and used it for the waterfall horsy...


Ox
(http://www.playkingdoms.com/temp/playmoproc/medieval075.jpg)

We put the polkadot knight & friends here... The female knight and the guy next to her are custom, as is the purple female warrior and her two companions and the green ones. Unfortunately, the purple barbarians were probably the first we stopped buying, in my moronic playmoaway years. Would love to get more of them. Purple is good.
Title: Re: playkingdoms' knights
Post by: Pynedor on February 24, 2013, 23:37:56
The female knight looks great, but where is her visor? :lol:
Title: Re: playkingdoms' knights
Post by: tahra on February 25, 2013, 08:17:10

There are several helmets that brought no visor... and we have no spares. Actually, I don't truly like them with visors...

It does look a bit on the incomplete side. I don't much like these big helmets.

Title: Re: playkingdoms' knights
Post by: cowabounga on February 25, 2013, 11:45:08
Noooo! You can't leave them without a visor! Please! :o
Title: Re: playkingdoms' knights
Post by: tahra on February 25, 2013, 14:14:14
I'd like to replace most of those huge ones for nicer ones... like the one the fat green guy has in the last pic..
Title: Re: playkingdoms' knights
Post by: tahra on February 25, 2013, 20:34:27
Purple cross?!
(http://www.playkingdoms.com/temp/playmoproc/medieval076.jpg)

These were originally archers and crossbowmen, but I persuaded the latter to take up the longsword. We made a knight for them.. the colors aren't that great, but they had all to be there, so...


Fantasy Portuguese
(http://www.playkingdoms.com/temp/playmoproc/medieval077.jpg)

Master Cowabounga came up with him - the king and horse. I HAD to have them. Then we asked for the flag and shields, and we came up with the men for them.


Serpent (?)
(http://www.playkingdoms.com/temp/playmoproc/medieval078.jpg)

From the wolf knights, these stayed on their own. Need more "bronze bracers", a black crossbow, and a red quiver - one of them is all open :(

Title: Re: playkingdoms' knights
Post by: DrDalek6 on February 25, 2013, 20:42:40
Like those old Dragon Knights and the Unicorns your Blue Falcons also look veyr smart I like what you've done with them. The Green Lion Knights aslo work very well for me I'm sure you don't need me to tell you my feleing on the Lion Prince one of my favourites, you ever thought of trying him with a black cloak and belt and a shield with a blakc/metallic grey central bit I've tried one of mine with a black cloak but, not got roudn to customising him but, I think the black would pick up the black in his outfit and make him look more like an ordinary Knight or suggest a darker character  :)

You mean the prince special (4505)? I LOVE HIM. We wanted to keep the original close to the... well... original, being a special and all. And with the gold belt...

Might add to them, since we have a couple more torsos... I'm running out of medieval legs of more.... common.. colors.
Title: Re: playkingdoms' knights
Post by: DrDalek6 on February 25, 2013, 21:45:15
Noticed afterwards the next lot of photos liking the archers they're good colour combination your Knight looks good all thing sconsidered the colours mean that he fits in well with his friend the other ones you've put up are also very nice those gold armour pieces do look quite effective would like the pick up that bronze duo pack at some point  :)

I know what you mean I'm the same would want to keep at least one as original was referring to the fact that you seem to have several spare guys  ;) I've got 2 myself I'm not generally one for getting repeats of figures unless I can avoid it but, I've got a idea for some charcters so I wouldn't mind getting one more so I can customise one or two and have one who's original

I actually hadn't thought of that...  :-[   

Though that shield (from the ox cart) does not really look anything like the others. Meleager The Mighty is a Xenaverse character as well, an old beat up knight... if renowned for his (former) prowess. We'll see..

I'd love to have ALL the shields, and I think we used to.. but now... :(

Title: Re: playkingdoms' knights
Post by: tahra on February 26, 2013, 19:43:31
Some more..

Dragons
(http://www.playkingdoms.com/temp/playmoproc/medieval079.jpg)
(http://www.playkingdoms.com/temp/playmoproc/medieval080.jpg)
(http://www.playkingdoms.com/temp/playmoproc/medieval081.jpg)

Well.. minus the dragons :-[  My sister was instantly in love with the wings, and they grew on me. The custom winged ones are her work.. as is the wizard. They turned out GREAT.


Fleur de Lys
(http://www.playkingdoms.com/temp/playmoproc/medieval082.jpg)

These are made up pairing existing ones.. Not great..


Purple and Blue something / Dwarf / Ex-Unicorn / Green Lion
(http://www.playkingdoms.com/temp/playmoproc/medieval083.jpg)

More misc.. Not happy at all with the prince and royal hornsmen. They might drop the pike and move to the court. Of course, it leaves him. We'll see.

We didn't make more dwarves YET.

My sister had the good idea to move the guy from the original dragon (was in the the unicorns but the only thing was the horse's headdress), and she made a friend for him...

The green lion (a recent arrival - special plus) will join the others.

Cool the Dwarf's a great figure I like the Prince in the last photo ditto the Dragon Slayer Knight/Prince I had him as a kid it was great set over all always found the Dragon quite comedic looking back how they made it with the big human hands and such like  ;D
Title: Re: playkingdoms' knights
Post by: tahra on February 27, 2013, 19:55:10
And these are the last (for now)...

Special guards
(http://www.playkingdoms.com/temp/playmoproc/medieval084.jpg)

These were customs suggested by... the spear, for the first, and the torsos, for the second. Versatile guards... they'll fit a bunch of different situations.. And I love them :love: :love:  (I'm usually easy to playmoplease  :P )

Obvious examples, with the winged guy and Zeus:

Mounted crossbowmen - custom suggested by that AWESOME hat thingie :love:
(http://www.playkingdoms.com/temp/playmoproc/medieval061.jpg)

I also love that brown fur cap.  I only have one in my collection, but it appears to be dark brown, not red brown as on yours.  Was this cap released in more than one color?  And does anyone have the part number (numbers) for it (them)?

And what is the source klicky for the blue pants and brown boots?  I like the way they perfectly match the fur cap.

The hat is brown, I think.. From the winter family sets - we bought several of the smaller one AGES ago in a very cheap store...  I love that hat :)

The legs COULD be from the 9970 Eagle knight. Though I'm sure they're probably around other klickys.
