Ludzik Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 So I got a dilemma... New Castle sets are in the wild... I got couple of them and now I'm stuck with yet another faction!!!! UGH Tripple UGH The body's are good because they fit the crownies just fine but the shield with that weird looking crowned lion doesn't really fit the lion's nor the crownies :( I'm considering trading those out for lion's or crownie's shields but if I get more of the theme would I keep trading out? Currently I have Crownies, Lion's, dragon's old style and new style though new style shields fit with the evil knight shields giving me a small band of marauders... then I got the elf shield, with the eomer shields and the ork shields (those last ones being nice and blank are perfect for castle defending foot soldiers) oh what to do!

Rook Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 (edited) Keep the sheilds and buy a couple off BrickLink. Trust me, later you'll want them. Edited May 17, 2013 by Rook Quote
SkaForHire Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 I agree, keep them, you will want them later. Especially since the kite shields seem to be rare this wave... those may be good trade fodder later. Quote
CommoScout Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 I personally use the vast array of different shield designs to designate different families in my world. When a new design comes out that closely resembles an old I see it as an opportunity to expand a family - sons, daughters, aunts, uncles and cousins share a theme/symbol and modify it based on their region or taste. Makes obtaining and blending in the new factions easier for me. Quote

Legomaster34 Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 (edited) I just use new shield designs as new factions. Some I'll blend together, and sometimes if I don't have enough of a particular shield, I'll mix the "leftovers" all together and make a rag-tag band of thieves, stealing shields (and other equipment) from the other factions. If I get any of the current Castle sets the two new shields will just become new factions, if I do decide to get any of the newer sets. EDIT: Even if you do decide to give them Crownie shields to blend them in, as other users have said, I'd keep the shields, just in case. Edited May 17, 2013 by Legomaster34 Quote
