Hey Guys and Gals ( *yoda* qoute :-D)

A question to the new Castle Sets , does the Knights will belong to the dwarfs?

And are the Orks and Trolls & Skellies a Team?

Thanks

The Dwarfs have joined with the Crown Knights for sure, just look at the heraldry. And I think it is probable that the Trolls have an alliance with the Skellies as well, but I'm not a 100% sure on that.

Hi there! Appearently, the Dwarves are allied with the knights. ;-) I don't know about the orcs/trolls and skellies, though. :-/

I think the dwaves are on the same side as the knights, the orcs and trolls on another side, with the skeletons and the wizard on another. But TLC are trying to avoid strong story rules this time ( *sweet* ) so I doubt that there will be an official stance on this... Go with what ever you want! :-D

[The Kid]

I think the skellies are gone. Out. Bye.

The Knights are definitely in alliance with the dwarves.

And the Trolls may have taken some influence from the skellies - take a look at their shield emblem.

Are you sure they haven't taken influence from Boba Fett, then? The Mandalorian emblem resembles those shields pretty closely.

Yep the skellies seem to have disappeared. The Crownies and Dwarvies have definitely allied- the heraldry, and a knight on a dragon seems to be saving a captured dwarf in Troll's Battleship.

Crownies and Dwarves are both on the same side. (Probably joined forces due to the new Goblin threats.)

Skellies would be on a side of thier own, brought to life by the evil Sorcerer to wipe out the good guys.

With the skeleton army now mostly under control, a new enemy arises, the Trolls and Goblins, due to this increase in enemies the Crownies join Forces with the Dwarves.

That's the way I look at it at least, but as Sinner has said, there is no set story, so it's really just how you see it. :-)

You certainly have no lack of imagination there Amanda! Which probably just proves why TLC decided not to do a fixed storyline for this Castle theme... *JUST IMAGINE* :-D

That is a good story! *y*

But I prefer to believe that the skellie attacks and troll attacks are happening at the same time to heighten the drama! ;-)

I'm a bit sad that the skellies haven't returned, they were a great faction....... :'-(

TFFN! >:-)

Good question AS. I think the official answer is provided in the following article re. the Castle 2007 theme (Castle 2007 Designer Feedback) posted on Classic Castle.

The article states:

2008 is going to see the battle grow much bigger, as both sides are being joined by new allies. These reinforcements will bring with them new vehicles, machines and settings to make the theme much more epic. .

So I believe the official answer is that both of the new races are allied with the existing factions.

[SWMAN]

I think that Lego has finally gotten smart and gone back to the old ways, where there was no real storyline. They discovered that very few people like the KK theme and strict storyline idea, because it limited playability. With the new Castle Line, you can decide, because there is little to no actual story. Now, we can assume from some of the sets that...

1. The Knights and Dwarves are Allies, from the Troll/Orc Ship and the fact that the dwarf shields look like the Knights Shields

2. The Trolls and Orcs are allied because in the new dwarf sets they are both attacking the dwarfs.

3. The Skellies seem to be omitted so far from the late 2007/2008 line, either from the fact that lego wants to focus on new factions, or the fact that a lot of people didn't really like them that much. The skellies could go either was, being allied with the orcs and trolls or opposing all of the factions.

The great thing is, you can decide whatever you want.

Now why didn't I think of that!!! The answer was there all along. Still, I agree with SWMAN, in the end it's just up to your own imagination which factions are on which side.

[xbloodyfangs]

I think that the trolls don't have their own faction, but are instead part of the orc faction, like in LOTR. Basically, since the orcs don't have horses and knights, they have trolls.

BTW, I think that it's skellies+orcs vs. humans+dwarves.

[Wout]

Will the orcs like the skellies? I think some ocrs maybe don't like skellies, maybe they are afraid of them.

Will the skellies like the orcs, maybe they find them too barbarish. Or think they stink :-P

Have the orcs a leader? The crown knights have a leader, the dwarfs have a dwarf king, the skellies have the bad wizard, but it looks like the orcs are a bunch of anarchistic barbarians X-D . Will the orcs even listen to the bad wizard?

I reckon that the trolls serve the skellies because the trolls are monsters but the skellies are a force of pure EVIL! *skull*

Thus I think that the Dark Wizard is in control of them, the skellies being his cruel and loyal minions but the trolls, a much larger force, fearful of his wrath! >:-)

Thats the great thing about this line, YOU decide whats happening.

TTFN! >:-)

[iamded]

The dwarfs (dwarves?) are definitely allied to the knights, for all the reasons mentioned, and becuase the dwarfs forge armour and weapons for the Crownies. In my story line I'd like it if the Goblins and Skellies weren't allied, but with the amount of shelf space left, I think I'll have to ally them, with them all squished together.

The best way to look at it IMO is that both the knights and dwarfs are peaceful, however they might join together to eliminate the orcs etc. However that dosen't mean that the 2 sides are the best of friends, perhaps it's a case of needing each other for now.

I like that view *vader* , which makes me think even more of the 08 line, its so open to interpretation, lets you........Just Imagine *sweet*

If that were true, it seems unlikely the Dwarfs would've adopted the Knights' heraldry. To me, the similar heraldry indicates a very close relationship between the two factions. If indeed they are seperate factions in the first place, the Dwarfs might as well be an integral part of the Knights faction.

You could be right however what if the 2 sides once shared a friendship that was broken at some point in the past? Untiting again short term could be a possibility.

That's the thing about this line, lego haven't yet divulged a lot so you can pretty much do what you like story wise.

[TheFrisian]

I could argue the point even further, but as people pointed out all along in this thread, in the end it's really just up to one's own imagination! ;-)

Oh i agree with you, it's ones own call at the end of the day. :-)
