I Built MEDIEVAL ARMIES In LEGO!

4:29 Halberds were historically often used by body guards so your choice is an accurate one

Even today, the Pope’s guards at the Vatican are armed with halberds.

This is extremely impressive. Gotta say i am somewhat jealous of your armies.

[@patrykb7841]

Yeah, me too

[@theodor8886]

Same. This is just amaising

[@ANTARY008]

It’s illegal for Lego not to release cheap Medieval theme. It is just as great as Ninjago, but somehow it is only released in large, expensive sets.

[@DianaZavalaOrchidCusp]

Same here

[@TyronBezzina]

Bet lego themselves are😂

[@samkerr6029]

The orange eyes glowing in that bat helmet has an epic look to it. Fantasy Era - Evil Wizard and Evil Wizard, Series 13 would make a good addition to either Fright knights or Trolls.

9:00 advice, don't use printed torso under the armour, instead use regular torso, in that way you can build 2 characters instead of one

[@Jar_Jar_Twinks]

the black falcon torsos are $1.27 on pick a brick, while a plain blue one is $1.19. if he got plain torsos for armored characters, he'd be spending more to swap out the arms. it also just makes more sense to buy equal numbers of the black falcon torsos and legs, in case he wants to reuse them later. your advice does make sense and works in other cases, but for black falcons (or really any figure you can get on PAB) it's just simpler to use printed torsos under the armor.

[@Alim-v4h]

​@@Jar_Jar_Twinksyou're right

[@bricksbyficks6448]

The black and yellow tournament Knights are just incredible! The custom barding is cool too, hopefully lego brings that theme back some day

[@TheGalacticRepubIic]

Them ‘pearl dark grey’ helmets are definitely hard to get in bulk. Luckily I won an EBay bid for 6 Kingdom Dragon Knights for only ~£20

[@Goldfyre]

WOW thats a really great deal. im still holding out hope that PDG helmets will come in a new set at some point lol

[@qdaniele97]

Someday, someone with lots of Castle minifigs, sets and MOCs will have to make a parody of the Game of Thrones title sequence but with Black Falcons, Blue Lions, Green Dragons, etc. replacing GoT's factions. With great panning shots of Lionsheart Castle and the new Falcons' Mountain Fortress. It would be so sick 😁

[@pineapplevisual1564]

Give them lion knights some help!

[@weik-2936]

here's an idea for additions to your armies: Viking Mercenaries its based off of the idea of the Byzantine Varangarian Guard, basically the Byzantines hired Norsemen to be Imperial bodyguards (because they couldn't trust their own people to guard the Emperor) and shock troops to pull it off in lego you basically just need to take the body and legs of any faction, place a viking helmet on them, and give them a round shield and whatever weapon you deem appropriate for a Viking mercenary, what whatever other additional bits (capes/shoulder armor) you want to make em feel unique the faction-specific body denotes who this Viking's employer is, but by retaining a Viking shield (whether its plain or the more intricate Viking prints) you show that they are still an independent

[@zebrakahlo]

I saw somewhere orcs, updated with dinosaurs. Raptors like horses, triceratops like tank and more

[@drzander3378]

I don’t have many dinosaurs but some of the ones I do have I use as mounts - along with a Star Wars dewback - for my lizardman army. I can imagine them looking pretty good with orc riders, too.

[@jf_kein_k8590]

13:33 That black and grey knight also looks interesting.

[@Kix-d9b]

its nice to have a breth of fresh air when it comes to lego castle

[@freetowatchchannel9946]

that goatherd legs on the viking torso is dope

[@aquapucci]

That raven army would cost you 2 grand to put together nowadays. That's crazy.

[@SargeJim]

Glad you appreciate the blue lion knights they are my favourites 💙

[@Alim-v4h]

9:14 King looks strange with torso with bags and soldier's clothes, i think you should give him more aristocratic torso

[@comicwarrior1432]

for your black falcon army, An alternative that I saw for helmets is to use a blue bandana hair piece from the Ninjago Island minifigures. I think it looks AMAZING

[@odinvik7821]

what I miss in modern minifigs is the varity of prints for each faction that was common before

[@ReliableDiamondThug]

I think that second harpoon piece turns basil's axe into a really cool two-handed battleaxe if you place it on the bottom of the hilt and move the axe heads to the top harpoon.

[@joemcduck2748]

You should make a rogue knight that is feared due to their abilities. Like imagine hearing stories of a single knight who took down an entire army, then coming to fight him/her!

[@jeffbrown2034]

RE Basil: "this is currently my favorite figure of 2024...I honestly cant see anything beating it" D&D CMF Dragonborne: hold my beer

[@kriegdeathkorp1286]

If you don't mind me giving my opinion on the matter, I think that the cavalry units should be the ones with the great helms and not the infantry knights, since the great helm is designed specifically for horse-mounted knights. in any case, I realy like your army and I am very much jealous of you, since you can't get much castles minifigs where I live.

[@Brick_bro]

Awesome! The hair from Lego avatar looks cool on the orcs in my opinion!

[@Goldfyre]

Oh man good shout. I kinda forgot all those new parts existed tbh lol

[@wholeset]

Your armies are very impressive, especial the black ravens and for your trolls I'd suggest using the peg leg on one of them

[@kriegerproductionsofficial]

You have created some very exotic but still uniform looks.

[@Krueger_ai]

Personally, I would use the original Fright Knight minifigures for Basil’s army, and the original sand green orcs for my Orc faction, with the CMF orc as the Orc Prince.

[@rileylagerstrom9843]

with those extra knights you should make a band of rogue knights/“knights for hire” and you could use extra part you have and swap em around and make more custom one off knights

[@LordNeil]

In my Moc that I am Building currently I have a lot of factions from previous castle editions. We have the Crown Lion Dynasty: With all three variants of the Lion Knights, the red white, the blue and the red blue from the 80s (The new Version though), and the Soldiers in the Kings Palast are the Crown Knights from the Castle Edition with the Skeletons, as Royal Guard. Then we got the Rebel Lords: Consisting of the Black Falcons, Raven Knights, Red and Green Dragons. Then I implement some minor factions: Wolfpack Bandits, Skorpion Knights, and a custom Faction the Amethyst Wolfs (They are a Minor Noble house in the City, they have the Knights Kingdom Colors and Armor of Danju, the Purple one), also there will be Fright Knights, and some Vikings as Mercenarys.

[@miguelangeloaguila4140]

Lore for the armies: The Dragon Knights Once the most powerful empires in the land, the Dragon Kingdoms have been taken down like the creatures they named themselves after. However, the remnants of these fallen nations; the Red and Green Dragons have come together in an alliance. Uniting their small kingdoms into a-soon-to-be unstoppable empire. The Lion Civilization Despite being the second largest kingdom in the land, the Lions have been very fat and complacent. Because of this many Lion Knights believed that the Lioness; their fearless Queen is young and naive, causing them to splinter off and form their own factions. One such faction that splintered are the Crown Knights. The Orcs and Trolls Much like mankind, the Orcs and Trolls of the Ghis Desert have vied for control and territory. That all changed however, when a young warlord named Gul’Karga, united the many clans and tribes under his command, declaring himself the Highlord/King. Many years later his grandson, Sauron Karga would witness the arrival of the Ravens. The Fright Knights When Basil the Batlord fled to the bone isles, he was approached by a tribe of Goblins who worshipped his power. This gave Basil a sort of demigod complex, and so he agreed that the goblins can worship him as long as they served him. When he returned a powerful necromancer, he was approached by followers old and new. The Black Falcon Forces After the successful expedition to the Lions, the Black Falcon Kingdom was split into two factions. The Red falcons, who controlled the Falcons Point, and the Blue Falcons. However, it seems as though the Red Falcons are beginning to question their allegiance. The Raven Knights Despite suffering a massive defeat at the hands of the Black Falcons, the Ravens have become the largest army in the world. Rumor has it that the Raven King will approach Sauron, to form a powerful alliance to take back the northern continent. The Viking Horde This once great horde, composed of many clans, once controlled the north. Until the Falcons declared themselves the only true Northmen capable of ruling a kingdom. The last Vikings fled to the northernmost regions, hoping that they are safe.

@@wholeset do you think Goldfyre will approve? And if he does, what’s your favorite. Mines the Orcs and Ravens.

[@Hot_SpicyGrill]

In my army, Black falcons with black helmets are painted black to show off. Because Black Falcons are the warrior culture. Personally I like the black helmets more because its matches the hands.

[@bricktracytv]

For the lion knights, could you swap out their legs and arms for white ones to be similar to the queen? That would be pretty cool.

[@Lumpyrox1412]

Lovely army. I really like what you did with the queen (I usually don't pull hands, but I might have to do this as well). You should look into the white full helm from the harry potter chess set (it might go really well with the queen - I have 2 or 3 of those, might make a queen's guard out of them with the queen's torso and white arms). Love the Silver Falcons as welll (I was lucky enough to get 18 or so ) .

Hey, I just wanted to say thank you. Your videos are always very informative and thanks to you I started building Lego again. 👍I'm in the process of collecting medieval sets. I only have 2 at the moment but everything is difficult at the beginning. 😅So thank you very much and would like to see your Lord of the Rings collection.😁

[@Goldfyre]

That is such a kind comment, i really appreciate that. I love making these videos a ton and i am so fortunate to have people that like watching them. Which medieval sets did you pick up?

[@aboeinheit]

I have the medieval blacksmith and the Crator 3in1 castle set. Also a few old minifigures. Remember the one with the red-grey shield and blue border? Otherwise I have a troop of 21 Romans. But that doesn't quite fit 😅

[@Hot_SpicyGrill]

You should make the emperor's royal guard Brazils. Btw rather then Goblins, Id make them cave trolls. The cave trolls hate dwarfs and turn to stone in sun light. Brazil recruited (inslaved) them and in return he gives them black cloth, weapons, and armor that protects them from the sun. Their still weaker in sun light tho. Their still protected as long as they have so much as a weapon.

[@monblane493]

Love this video too u should make videos like this more often

[@Mocsmith77]

I need to see some Lotr videos from you

[@klausm5460]

Some people outright dismiss the silver helmets for use in a Black Falcon army, because they are too shiny for them. I am torn on this issue. On the one hand the silver helmets look great on their own, on the other hand I like the sinister look of the Black Falcons with black gear and armor. I also appreciate the black hood for archers or assassins. The state of your Black Falcon army is a great start anyway.

[@Goldfyre]

Thanks!! Yeah silver armor is a little too flashy/clean for the falcons imo

[@ogredunedain9440]

Honestly, I think the blue Lion Knights are underrated. If they came out in like 2017-2020 instead of right after the Kingdoms theme they would have been much better received (wouldn't have hurt to have a little better builds as well, but the minifigures were great!)

[@Goldfyre]

Couldn't agree more. The mediocre builds from cas2013 coming right after the amazing builds from kingdoms really hurt it. I still prefer the figs from kingdoms but the blue lions and red dragons are up there with some of the best prints.

I had the exact same idea with the Blue Lions. In my case, these are exiled Lion Knights who kept their old armor after a new king came to power. And they want to take back the throne. I left a comment under your Raven Army video with a few ideas about arming the infantry. Maybe you'll take a look. Otherwise, I'm very excited about the lore of the individual characters. It would be cool if you built part of your falcon castle in half-timbered construction. I'm particularly desperate about my river fortress and don't have good building techniques for realistic truss structures. Thanks for your ideas.❤️
