THE KRAKEN HAVE LANDED! Lord Leviathan leads his army of Sea Dog foot soldiers and Tridentmen. My Kraken empire features Irish names and complexions, and is easily one of my favorite factions to build out so far. Sooooo much fun!

These look incredible.

 I love the trident build too.

 I had a few delivered and used some ninjago legs and a cmf torso to build a custom too.

Nice I saw this on Reddit earlier.  Nice use of the Nexo knights blue helmet looks good.  
I have about 40 of the horse knights now.  Looking to make another pab order soon to get some Griffon and Kraken knights.

Nice collection of Horse Knight minifigs! They have so much potential. The blue helmet helmet looks great.

I’m glad you like them and well spotted on Reddit. I did indeed post there as well 😊

The blue kettle hat works well with the Horse Knights. I also have the great helm in blue but decided not to use it. Maybe I should 🤔

I got the minifigures from PaB except for a few that came with the Horse Knights Castle, BAM (the jester) and my spares. The PaB ones were mostly accidentally sent free from LEGO as were my Serpent Knights (not shown). I called Customer Service to let them know and they said I could keep them - woohoo!

Thank you! With a bit of creativity and enough parts, a couple of different torsos and leg assemblies can create quite a mix. Which blue helmet did you mean: the kettle hat worn by the halberdier or the armet worn by one of the mounted knights?

Both look great but I originally meant the Nexo Knights kettle helmet. It is so nice to see it in a real Castle setting.

I never considered Nexo Knights part of Castle either despite what LEGO said. It was good for parts and some of the villains were outstanding but the knights, vehicles and buildings? No, thanks - not my idea of Castle should be.

Horse Knights have been a lot of fun to army build! Between being the only new faction with multiple torsos, there’s also a real opportunity to mix in some other figs from the past, such as the Dragonborne D&D fig or the blue CMF wizard. Plus the standard torso is basic enough that you can create some great variations with very little customization.

My army of Horse Lords hails from the region of Equitane, under the rule of King Phillip:

Pictured are Sir Destry the Daring and cavalry of knights:

Lastly, here are a few pics That show off the variety of classes I’ve established for this faction. Depicted here are my Equitane archers, guards, men-at-arms, knights, ranger, and king figures:

Since we already have more than a few factions that have leaned on blue, specifically from the Fantasy era, I tried to purposefully make this faction focus more on white as their primary hue. I love the archers wearing what is essentially an all white tunic and hood over their chain mail. And finally, yes, that’s a third party helm I used for the men-at-arms, but it looked so good I couldn’t help myself, felt like a perfect fit:

Those are some nice minifigs but I think that the Lego version of the helmet would look much better.

@Mr. Elijah Timms, Very cool! I really like when each minifigure is visually coherent with a colour scheme and look. As for the name 'Equitane' as a portmanteau of 'Aquitaine' and 'equestrian', that's simply brilliant.

What head is this from?  The army looks great by the way

[AmperZand]

@zoth33, Thanks! The head is from the Space CMF Series, no. 26, Blacktron Mutant.

[Yoggington]

I saw these when you posted them elsewhere.

I'm very impressed with the cyclops head on the Hulk body, I'd never have thought that up.

Thanks for responding.  I will have to see if I can pick some up that head looks great.
