Castle Faction Breakdown Guide?

[natesroom]

I'm trying to figure out a breakdown of how to build the different factions whats correct and whats not. Is their a place that has one well done? I've checked out bricklink and it answers some of my questions. Is peeron better? Could we put together a whole post that is dedicated to accurate photos and part breakdown here?

The reason i ask is i am trying to rebuild knights procession and i am missing some pieces. The helmet is one piece i'm trying to order and when i go to brick link it doesn't seem to list the "Neck Protector" helmet in the very Bright Light grey color unless i'm not reading it right.

Anyways i think a visual reference of accurate official versions of each faction in one thread here would be a cool idea if there is enough interest in developing one?

Anybody else?

Actually t looks to me like the helmets are just the standard light grey and the 8 i got had the extremely light grey version, so thats an answer for me.

D'oh! He's inconsistent on how he categorizes 6018! On the list of sets, he lists it as belonging to the Black Falcons, but then in the list of minifigs, lists them as being Black Knights!

On the page to 6018 he says:

"Die Minifigs sind sehr untypisch. Sie tragen die Kettenhemden der Drachenritter, eigentlich deutet nur der Schild auf Adlerritter hin.

Oder ist der Schild eine Kriegsbeute?

Oder ist der rotgewandete Ritter ein zum Ruderdienst gepreßter Gefangener? Die auf ihn gerichtete Armbrust könnte das nahelegen."

Which translates to:

The minifigs are very untypical. They wear the dragon knights' chainmail, actually only the shield makes them look like falcon knights.

Or is the shield a bounty of war?

Or is the knight clad in red a prisoner who is forced into the duty rowing. The crossbow pointed at him could be a sign for this.

Yeah, 6018 is one of the long-disputed sets in terms of allegiance. As I recall, someone even found a catalog where it was listed with a *Crusader* logo next to the set, thus making it potentially belong to THREE different factions.

However, although he wrote the note, he probably should have been consistent in terms of either putting *both* the figs *and* the set into the same category (or into both categories), rather than putting the figs in with Black Knights and the set in with the Black Falcons.
