Black beard Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 (edited) Here's a few pics of some of my Blue coats and Red coats this is the start to my army, they are mainly all out of order and not yet tied to a regiment if you look at the cutlass soldiers they are all out of order but I am going to work on these and get them into units. Also my commanders look a bit confused thats why they have alot of personal guard behind them. I think I have got something to work with here let me know what you think I will keep posting my pics as they get into order ready to defeat any invading pirates garrrrrr Sorry just struggling reducing my images haha I will get used to it eventually with a bit of trial and error Edited July 9, 2008 by Black beard Quote
Admiral Blockbeard Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 wow looks great!!! I am slowly building uo my army, however i find my self short on generals, you have no such problem... this is beautiful just beautiful, there is nothing better than seeing imperials in order! if you want help with pics PM me i can send you some links that make it easy regards Cpt.

Black beard Posted July 9, 2008 Author Posted July 9, 2008 Hi Captain Peg Leg Yeah I think I have too many generals and officers they would probably end up fighting each other.... I currently ue PIXresizer .when I upload pics whats the best size to attach? Quote
Admiral Blockbeard Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 I have sent you a PM, the best size is no wider than 800 wide, i would suggest 650, this is big enough for us to see in detail and small enough that download time is not huge. May i also ask how you got so many soldiers! was it luck of local sales or ebay? Regards Cpt. PB Quote
Fluyt Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 Nice army you've got there . I really enjoy seeing great armies like this. I'm also building an army, but it isn't going that fast. I have only 19 Imperial Guards, 25 Imperial Soldiers, +11 red/white and 10 blue/white striped "pirates" to serve the low-ranks (so only 65 total, with 21 of them not even being real imperials ).

meschepers Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 I have a fairly puny army of both red and blue coats. So pun in fact that I have been considering selling them. I think I have around 12-15 of each and an "admiral" for each. I'm not sure how much that would fetch though. Quote
Black beard Posted July 9, 2008 Author Posted July 9, 2008 Yeah it takes time to build up an army and lots of money!! I didnt stumble across this lot I bought them in groups, off ebay and I had to pay alot for them not sure why they always go for so much..I have got about 20 more that need sorting out mixed redcoats and blue coats I have about 200 in total. I am going to sort out my pirate army as well, with my native army. Maybe I will make a lego island hehe I wish!!!! Quote
Dreamweb Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 That's quite a start! Good luck completing your mighty army... Sometimes when I look at all those armies on Brickshelf, belonging to different people, I wonder how many bluecoats and redcoats have been made by Lego in total? Quote
Black beard Posted July 9, 2008 Author Posted July 9, 2008 Hi Dreamweb yeah god I would hate to guess how many have been made I would hazard a guess at a few million anybody else warrent a guess at how many red and blue coats were made by Lego? Quote
Captain Green Hair Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 Harrr that be a good start matey, but it will not stop me army of swashbuckling sailors! So, how big are you planning to make it, on a Bonaparte scale 1-10? Quote
Black beard Posted July 10, 2008 Author Posted July 10, 2008 Aye Cpt Green Hair your army may destroy mine I hope their arent any canibals among your army!!!! Quote
Captain Green Hair Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 Aye Cpt Green Hair your army may destroy mine I hope their arent any canibals among your army!!!! Nah, i'm the only brick hungry person amongst them Quote
Black beard Posted July 10, 2008 Author Posted July 10, 2008 haha yeah no what you mean how long you been collecting matey? I'm not sure how big I want to build my army doubt it will ever be as big or as impressive as Bonapartes he's got some great armies!! I started up thinking I was going to do a massive scene in the loft with an armada of ships(so far only have 5 ) and build a big island with a beach,jungle and Aztec buildings(keep dreaming) I have got loads of parts that Ihave been buying but just havent got round to doing anything yet.....

Captain Webb Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 GUESS WHAT I JUST BOUGHT MY FIRST SET THE IMPERIAL OUTPOST!!!!! Quote
Axle Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 Blimey that's a lot of smilies, Captain Webb. But anyways, that's an impressive start! I've started mine and it's way better then ours or anyones! 7 people! HA! IN YOUR FACE! I've started my army with decals made by sir Dano. So they are the Crown Imperials! The toughest of them all. I'e enough swords, but only 2 pistols for them. Oh well, the have an entrance to Port Royal and a 10 gun ship. The pirates are doomed! Quote
Eurobricks Emperor Bonaparte Posted July 11, 2008 Eurobricks Emperor Posted July 11, 2008 GUESS WHAT I JUST BOUGHT MY FIRST SET THE IMPERIAL OUTPOST!!!!! Wow, major smiley and off-topic alert. Time for a chat in private Captain Webb! Now on the subject, I'm really happy to see another army builder in the Pirate forum. And this is a very decent start Black Beard! Adding some regimental flags is one thing you can do to improve the army. And I would start forming some regiments. Keep collecting! And remember, if you ever get tired of Lego and want to sell these fine troop, you know where to find me Army building ON! Quote
