Like a lot of AFOLs of my vintage, the first Castle Lego set I ever owned was the venerable "Yellow Castle", and although we've moved on from those early visors, separate tunic pieces and brick-built horses, the Classic Castle sets still hold a place in my heart.

Fast forward a few decades and I'm building a pair of the gorgeous Kingdoms Joust sets, and I something clicks - I need a group of different knights competing in the tourney. Each of them a champion hailing from neighbouring kingdoms, baronies, duchies and fiefdoms, their tunics emblazoned with their own insignias!

So without further ado, my updated versions of original Classic Castle knights:

And for anyone interested, I did the same thing with the Black Falcons a while back:

If anyone has any suggestions or feedback, please let me know!  :classic:

All I can say about these decals is wow! They're done very well! I never owned the Yellow Castle set though, I guess I was too young.

Thank you, and perhaps I should have linked to the originals!  :wacko:

Oh, no not at all! By all means you should draw your own ones if you want to, I'd be surprised if I was the first person to have the idea in the first place!  :laugh:

It took a guy ripping your decals to get you to come back to the forum  :tongue: but great to see you come back. Very nice work as usual, I'll be sure to save this. Did you get to apply any of your decals? I really wanted to see them (specially the elf ones) on real figs. I would do it myself but I have yet to find a decal source here in Portugal (doubt it even exists).
Good to see you and your wonderfull decals again  :classic:

Thank you, but actually I've just been really busy with work! I did apply some of the elf stickers, here's one of my elven scouts (the fig on the right is the unchanged official one):
