I'm not a fan at all of the new knight factions, though the green wolves look better than the other two yet oddly they are not available in stores.

The lions seem like a clown army and I strongly dislike the painted armor parts on these new falcons. Both armies could have been much nicer if they had uniform soldiers, it could work pretty well for them.

I'll skip these, I tend to only get new knight factions if I can use them.. mostly I got many tournament knights since they could be easily used as a vassal or such.. and plenty of lions that work with the classic lions.

Depending on where my stories go, I might need a reasonable number of medieval soldiers of another faction, but it wont be any of these three.

I suspect on the shields the final number is the position within the mold. The rest is probably the mold number.

That was what I thought too...

Is there green arms to make the green fat and normal knights more civilian? Brown pants should look nice replacing the armored legs.

I think it will be easier to get the green arms than the brown legs...

I THINK there are (will be?) a couple of us exclusives for the green wolves. But yes, very odd to have a faction on ds only.

The lions seem like a clown army

Yes... I did my best to fix them, but.. since the darn shields have that color, and I don't like to just ignore them...

and I strongly dislike the painted armor parts on these new falcons.

Really? I really like the roman torsos with the eagle print!

[Rhalius]

That eagle print is fine, its that weird painted part on the longbowman that ticks me off. It seems a common thing amongst the falcon sets to the point it cant be avoided.
It looks sci-fi to me and not medieval.

I believe a few specials had such a thing in the past as well.

Ah, I think I understand what you mean now. I don't really have a problem with that print, it's the sculpt that puts me off..

[Pynedor]

Thanks for the review, tahra. I'm still not sure whether I'll like the chainmail shoulder pieces or gloves, but there seem to be a good amount of interesting parts in these sets.

I LOVE the shoulder pieces.. I don't love the gloves, cause, again, they prevent the movement.. They look good though. And much better than those big full arm pieces!

[Bolingbroke]

Thanks for the informative review, tahra.

Meh, ill gladly pass on these. I wish they would sack whoever is coming up with these uninspired (and uninspiring) designs.

[Birdie]

Thanks a lot for the detailed review! 

I am on the fence about these soldiers too. Maybe it's the colour scheme, it seems a bit too bright and primary colour-ish. It stands out a lot.

[Bolingbroke]

The sword holders (scabbards) are what tick me off the most about these recent waves. What was wrong with the old belts with a loop in them? I also wish they did more realistic stuff. It's a subject which we have discussed ad nauseum, i know, but i wish they started catering for the adult collector too, like lego does.

I think they may look great, AFTER fixed. I think the problem is, like Birdie said, the 3 strong colors together is just too much. If not for the shields, we'd just split them. I really like the pikemen I did - the color, I mean.

Variety is good, but I really don't like the way these ones look with an attached look and a sword or whatever in front. I like them if turned backwards, but can't do that with those fat ones

Then people might... give them money. THE HORROR.
