Title: Another custom Black Lion Guard....
Post by: Wolf Knight on April 22, 2010, 20:32:31
I have to admit I never really felt comfortable with these Black Lion knights... 7664 - 3 Black Lion Knights (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=7664)

I know that they are favourite to a lot of people here in the forum but I could never see through their brown and black colours, especially with them carried a shield with red and black colour.... This lion emblem looks like it can only be carried by good guys... I see these brown and black knights as the kind that would join up with the bad guys....

AndrewL did a great job with his customs in another thread http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=4273.0

I wanted to give a different perspective to the knights carrying this coat of arms...

I kept their captain intact but instead of brown or black, I gave them a red torso...I've also created a knight for the group...This is actually a guard (maybe a honorary one...)

Nice work, Panos.  I really like the matching red and black instead of the brown with these "good guy" lion knights.

Great work Panos! Now that I see them I really like the red, I like that cohesive look. Thanks for sharing with us.  :wave:

Great customs . I have to say though i think the 7664 black lion soldiers are the best i think ( second to nuremberg guards ) to build big armies , i have over 200 and plannign to buy another 100 at least before they are extinct ( no longer available in germany ...) , great to see customs , i am personally too lazy and icompetenend to changes them so i keep them as they are . Lovely mods , might copy a couple of them for my collection. Do i have your authorisation Sir Wolf ( copyrights etc etc )  ;D ;D ;D ;D

I like blacvk lion soldiers with pikes , they make a great pike army i reckon ...

BEAUTIFUL!!! :o
WELL DONE!!! ;D
I really am a big fan of these knights! (Even if they do look "evil" with the black armor...)
But your knights are even better!!! WOW, incredible job! :clap:

Very nice -- I like them a lot!

And many thanks for the ref to my guys -- much appreciated!

I think it's really great to see what can be done creating clearly different sets of figures but which still clearly fit with the same heraldic emblem. A tribute to both the flexibility of Playmobil and the imagination and ingenuity of customisers!

I look forward to your 'bad guys'!

Cheers,

AndrewL

Yes i've seen your army of the Black Lion Knights Giorginetto!!! Impressive numbers  :)9 :)9 !!! I only hope i can do the same with these guys.... You have my permission to copy my design of course!!!!  ;D ;D ;D

I agree that the plain Black Lion Knights make a great pike army...but maybe with a different shield...a brown/black one maybe...

Thank you for the inspiration and your possitive comments!!! It is great to recreate customs is it not???
The bad guys are ready...so stay tuned.... ;)

Yes the 3666 guards are great, but so is this one...30 00 5010 - Royal Guard, redhead (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30%2000%205010) and of course this one... http://collectobil.com/catalogue/items/4583.htm which is my all time favourite....

You are 100% spot on . Actually i should change what i said earlier as the 4583 is by far the best pike guard around... hard to find and expensive , i have very few of these ... The horsed knight is an awesome champion also ...  :)

Target had the 4583 in a blister pack with Sir Polkadot (4567) last summer. I bought every one I could find!
