Title: Winterhaven - A royal announcement
Post by: Gis on September 19, 2010, 02:56:09
It’s just another Saturday morning in Winterhaven.

(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a415/gorraxpb/Royal%20Announcement/IMG_2703.jpg)

(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a415/gorraxpb/Royal%20Announcement/IMG_2704.jpg)

As usual at around 10 in the morning you hear the bell that signal the town crier is on his way to the village square. “Oyez! Oyez! Oyez!”

(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a415/gorraxpb/Royal%20Announcement/IMG_2705.jpg)

People quickly gather round, while Kialto the Town crier walks up to his usual place between the smithy and the Mug and Swords.

(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a415/gorraxpb/Royal%20Announcement/IMG_2707.jpg)

Citizens of Winterhaven I bring the tidings from Farmer Stubbs. You all heard he was robbed, while he and his daughter were on their way to our market last Wednesday evening. A runner was sent to their farm and returned this morning. Stubbs himself has been up and about but he has a mild concussion so his sons are doing most of the word around the farm. His daughter, Sinra, is in a worse condition and has been bed ridden since the accident.

(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a415/gorraxpb/Royal%20Announcement/IMG_2710.jpg)

We really need to stop these ruffians before more commodities get lots or more people hurt. We have heard rumors that a guarded caravan with special goods will leave Fallcrest this month. The plan is to enlist some of those guards to go out and deal with this threat. If this will not succeed, we will need to turn to our warrior guild to remedy the situation.

I also have brought you good news today. As many of you probably already have heard Jonas the Baker and his wife Chaira have grown our population with one this last week. Their daughter Megan is doing great and I have seen Chiara at work kneading dough again already.

(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a415/gorraxpb/Royal%20Announcement/Jonas-Chiara-Megan-1.jpg)

My final announcement today is one directly from King delivered to me only minutes ago.
102 years ago, the catastrophe that resulted in the destruction of almost everything in these lands, resulted in a chaotic and scary environment for people to live in. But some saw the opportunity. King Damrick, our first king, was one of those people and founded Winterhaven on the ruins of an old castle. Next year this will be 100 years ago and because of this King Darnald has decided that it needs to be celebrated! So celebrate we will.

(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a415/gorraxpb/Royal%20Announcement/IMG_2711.jpg)

Saturday January the 15th we will have the first ever Winterhaven Jousting Tournament. Every knight is invited and feuds will be temporarily on hold. Following the jousting tournament there will be a big feast to which ALL inhabitants are invited. The day after will be for the remaining eight jousters  and there will be an exclusive ball in the castle in the evening.

(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a415/gorraxpb/Royal%20Announcement/IMG_2714.jpg)

In the coming months we will need to prepare for these festivities so I kindly ask you all dedicate extra time for this, so we can make this the biggest event ever taking place near these walls. A city representative might visit you shortly to request your aid. Please don’t let us down.

(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a415/gorraxpb/Royal%20Announcement/IMG_2715.jpg)

The prizes for the tournament will be AT LEAST three Magical Items from the royal treasury, but depending on the number of participants this might be increased. Two participants have already confirmed our own Knight of Winterhaven and Crown Prince Tobias.

With that Kialto is done and wanders back to the mayor’s office.

I am actually planning to make this into one big photo story but for that I need your help so we can turn this into a community event.

So far I have reserved the Fleur de Lis coat of arms and the Tower one. I hope Damo wants to use the swan knight.
All other coat of arms are still available. Please post in this thread which knight you want to fight for you and customizing options and names can be done through PM.

I am also planning to have some form of betting with points (no real money obviously)

So I hope people are as excited about this as I am. When it comes to coat of arms it is first come first serve unless you of course are able to negotiate.
 
Lets make this into a great event!

Great Idea Gis, let me know if you would like me to send you photos of the knight and what poses to use.

Black Lion Rampant
30 62 3032 - Flag, medium, square (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30-62-3032)
30 62 3042 - Shield, medium (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30-62-3042)
30 63 9670 - Horse coat, long, scalloped hem (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30-63-9670)

for the general record - there are 25 jousting knights in release that I am aware of - these are the ones with full caparison (horse coat) and don't include ones with only barding.
Title: Re: Winterhaven - A royal announcement
Post by: Tiermann on September 19, 2010, 17:56:41
actually that was the one I used in my illustration for caparison - here is a set of images showing the caparison types, the first one would be my Champion for this event.

Scalloped caparison

Slashed caparison
(http://animobil.info/accessories/wit-icons/slahedcapdemo.jpg)

Pleated caparison
(http://animobil.info/accessories/wit-icons/pleatedcapdemo.jpg)

barding with saddle - this one is sometimes used for jousting knights also

old style 2 piece barding

this is great fun to follow, even though i do not have any knights except for the first free macdonald's knight many years ago, and he is without proper armour.  perhaps you might need a maiden or two with baskets of clean cloth to bind up a knights wounds?  i did note the dragon knight with the LED lance in the new TRU advertisment, i suspect you will ban him from entering.

Oh, come on, let's let the dragon knight with the light saber lance in!   :lol: 8}

Post by: Gis on September 20, 2010, 09:14:15
Thank you for enrolling into this event Damo, WoT, Sir Wolf, Tim and Martin.

Also of course a big thank you for your support: Gordon, el jefe, Karim and kaethe!

Tim: I unfortunately don't have 5725 so your first choice would have been hard for me to put together, I am still hoping to get one someday but for now it's not in the cards. So I am very happy you already went to a different option. I do have the Caparison though but from 3030.

kaethe: The dragon knight can legally enter the competition however his LED lance will be prohibited from the competition. It is a game of skill afterall and all competitors will joust with the same material.

Klickus Mobilus: He's allowed but without his lightsaber, sorry!

Just to be clear, to enrol you don't have to own any knights what so ever. I just need to own them! I am currently missing the following Caparisons:

http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30-62-1870
http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30-62-7022
http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=p5731c
http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30-62-0042

Plus the new one from the castle and advent calendar (have the other two new ones already)

So everyone please feel free to enroll, I am hoping to make this into a big event and like WoT you don't have to have a full caparisonned (sp?) knight, any knightly klicky on a horse is fine!




Title: Re: Winterhaven - A royal announcement
Post by: Tiermann on September 20, 2010, 18:29:24
Gis - you might take a photo of all of your jousters lined up, post it, and then mark off on it when one has been taken. A visual reference could be very helpful to avoid confusion.
Title: Re: Winterhaven - A royal announcement
Post by: Gis on September 20, 2010, 18:35:10
I'll do it the other way around...I will post pictures of the one that have been used and the ones I don't have will be on the bottom. By posting a list of what is available people think it is limited to that. But I really like that WoT has decided to go for a horse which isnt caparisonned. There are many different shield (DUH you know better then me I guess) and everyone of them can be used IMO.

So once I am reunited with my Playmobil again this weekend I will start working on this!

I will probably go your route closer to the deadline when people are still slacking to enroll *grin*

Is that right so far? I've only shown the 18 caparisoned knights I could put my hands on, I think Tim has the missing seven. I know one is the purple Barbarian, one is the fairy castle knight from 3837, and one is plain yellow. I've put WoT on a caparisoned horse for now. There are two different Fleur de Lys color options,

Thank you so much for this Martin!!! Awesome work!! Is it ok for me to use these pictures in any future posts?

I must admit that I sometimes forget the old/old ones so I unfortunately don't have the BLACK/red/white pleated one either :(

Coat of Arms : The old nuremberg guard shield  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

My Champion will be the red knight from the 3265  set but the Coat of Arms, his banner, shield and rear armour will have the Nuremberg guard coat of arms.

MY champion is so experienced in Battle he will sent to oblivion all the other knights . You dont have a chance against my First Knight

You did everything needed at this time Elaine. Telling me which knight you want to use. I'll be contacting you at some point for more details :-) But for now you've done your part, doesn't junior want to join?

Lets see who we currently have:

 1) Gis - Tower Knight
 2) Gis - Fleur de Lys Knight
 3) flatcat - Swan Knight
 4) WarriorOfToys - Black Lion Knight
 5) Wolf Knight - Double Bladed Axe Knight (blue)
 6) Martin Milner - Snake Knight
 7) Tiermann - Yellow/Blue Quartered Knight
 8) grangel - Yellow Dragon Knight
 9) Giorginetto - Nuremburg Knight
10) skypurr - Royal Knight (Really finding it hard to describe this one)

kaethe's message leaves me slightly unsure if she want to particpate or not but I will keep the Dragonland Knight reserved for her for know.

And yes as the creator of this I get to have two  :P :P :P

Looking good sofar :-)

Sure, your work has prompted me to do some sorting which I have been putting off!

The photos came out a bit darker than I hoped, but they work for illustration purposes. Not all the knights are necessarily dressed in the right armor, but I was concentrating on getting the caparions and shields matched up, with a banner if I have one and matching body heraldry is it exists.

It's a shame that Playmobil didn't give the Easter Egg Knight a proper shield, as he doesn't have any specific emblem.  ::)

HEHE the sorting problem...we are facing much the same currently!!

Yeah, Caparison, Shield, Banner are the main things for me at this point. How the knights look I would like to the person picking them.

I saw someone use this shield for the Easter Egg knight:

(http://playmodb.org/parts/30%2064%208142.gif)

From this Compact Set (http://www.playmobil.de/on/demandware.store/Sites-NL-Site/nl_NL/Product-Detail?pid=4147&cgid=Drachenland)

I think that is a decent looking shield for him!

Dark grey legs with Black boots( normal for the knight figure on the horse (3669) .The arms are dark grey also with dark grey palms.It is ok if you use the normal knight figure from 3669 on the horse like the photo

Gis - how are you going to run the tourney? Brackets with dice rolls setting the results of each. 2 out of 3 rolls?

I just did a hunt and search and come up with a total of 31 caparisons. Some like the first red and yellow can be used with multiple shield/heraldry designs as well.
And then there is the barding - two piece on older horses, one piece on newer style, in assorted colors. So there should be plenty available for this and future events. The limits will be what's on hand for the host.
I hope to post a standardized list of all of the caparison late this evening. That way they can be referred to by number/name for clarity.
If you could post a full list of what you have available Gis it would be helpful to people trying to pick a champion.

i did not know there were female knights, especially in tournaments, that is why i offered to bring a basket of clean cloth to bind up the wounds of knights who are injured.    hmmm, let me see if i have a suitable set of armour.  you may unreserve the dragonland knight that you held for me, i just posted that because i thought the laser lance was a bit out of character.

I have posted an image chart of all the caparisoned knights I know of in the Collector's Corner section. It doesn't include the strap barding types, and some of them could be used more than once by changing the associated shield. The plain color pleated ones for instance are shown with a default shield. The red one could easily be used for the Nuremburg Guard with a shield and banner change for instance.

A Wyvern is a heraldic creature, such as the yellow one on the shield in your picture.

Dragons are usually shown in modern times with a body like a huge lizard, or a snake with two pairs of lizard-type legs, and able to emit fire from their mouths. The European dragon has bat-type wings growing from its back. A dragon-like creature with no front legs is known as a wyvern.

I'm late to the party, but I'd like to join.  I'll take the battle axe knight.

Hey Justindo, great to have you join us! As Wolf Knight already enrolled 3315 I hope you are fine with the Advent Calender Silver Axe one.

I am really getting excited about involving so many members in this grand effort :yippee:! The participation picture like el jefe contributed is excellent :wow:! I only wish I had my chosen knight in Klicky form to do the same :'(!

Like I said in the other thread! The more details are provided to me the more details you provide to me the more intriguing I can make the entire story.

If you would want a picture like el jefe or Tierman just send me a PM with your ideas and I am sure we can figure something out :-)

I missed that Wolf Knight had chosen him.  Apologies.  I'll take the green knight with the red cross instead. :knight:

Hey Justindo..sorry for the confusion.

I have assigned you the "other" double axe knight. from the advent Calender.

In general this thread (http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=5834.0) is more up to date as people will be able to find it easier.

This is great stuff, Gis.

As I am late to this thread, I have a little proposal, since most are taken.

I could do a custom knight. His name will be Aziz bin Tarek. His shield had a white crescent moon with a star on a red background.

As I am in Germany at the moment, I could make him next week and mail him to you by post (as we are in the same countrey).

When do you plan to hold the tournament? Am I too late?

 Hey Ali Baba,

Great to hear from you!! Again!

Anything goes in my opinion so of course you can enroll a custom knight! The fact that we are in the same country does indeed help with that!

There is still lots of time as I have a very busy period coming up! I plan to shoot lots during December...might need a helping hand :-)

Could I have the eagle knight #24 instead?

Great!!! Thanks. I'll get to work when I get home, tomorrow. After I have unpacked all my new playmo of course.

About shooting the pics, that would be very nice. I have a good digital camera and tripod and stuff.

I'll post my entry in the other thread.
