Customized 4768 "Lion knight" Special plus.
« on: July 05, 2012, 11:14:07 »
Hi all!
Well, the title says it all, I guess!
I don't like the "fantasy-ish" ax that comes with this figure, so I left it out, I'll probably use it for one of my fantasy armies.
The "training dummy" is not half as good as the old one, this one doesn't swivel, and there's no way you can clasp a shield AND weapon on to it...
Anyway, the figure-and heraldry- I DO like, and I've made a Knight and some of his men-at-arms with it.
I hope you like them!

Greetings,
Erik  :)

Nice customs! Too bad about the training dummy, there's only one grip/claw?
This green lion crest is an absolute must-have for my knights!
Best,

..stupid or just cheap. Compare the old style lions with the new ones.. the new lions feel like they're made of cheaper plastic.

BTW, love your customs.. those bodies are from a new special? Never seen them, or are they custom made?

Nice ones. I wanted to see more of this special, so thanks for showing and detailing it! That really doesn't make much sense about the training dummy though. The old one seems much better. :-\
