Athos Posted April 7, 2006 This thread at classic castle has some nice pictures of the new armor and shield designs from the KK2v3 line. And as a pretty harsh KK2 basher, I must say these accessories look good. What KK2 should have been from the start. Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted April 7, 2006 The coloured armour remains I see... But perhaps an improvement over yesteryear's offerings... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gusmoore17 Posted April 7, 2006 YAY!!!!!!!!!!!! These are great shields and armours!!!! I can't wait to buy the new ones (I mean, if I bought the first ones, and now after the Great Vladek's Fortress, these sets are a Must-buy ones) I agree that these represent how the line should had started back in 2004.......but, what the hell, these are great!!!! *knight* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sting Posted April 7, 2006 :'-) :'-) :'-) :'-) - All of the armour: ESPECIALLY The Black w/ Chain mail Pattern: Now THATS awesome. I give that armour piece 14 mutant thumbs up, and all the other ones get at least 2 (the red and green look a little silly but I'm sure some people could make it look GOOD. - The return of the classic Grilled Helms : its getting better! This rocks! The sets are looking not bad too... well... actually they look like crap but they have some DECENT pieces now. I pray these sell well so Lego knows to keep getting better.

Evil Willy Posted April 7, 2006 Wow, those are really nice if you guys looked at them all. Well I like them thanks for sharingl. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kikuichimonji Posted April 7, 2006 Wow those are awesome! I like those 'classic' shield a lot. The skittle knights shields...meh.... The armor also is a lot better then the original KK2 armor. I have all of those and they aren't useful for MOCs because the colors are too flashy. These look pretty useful though :-D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mithrandir Posted April 7, 2006 Damn, now I'm going to have to add all the new castle sets to my 2006 wishlist... This year is turning out to be expensive... :\ X-D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blueandwhite Posted April 7, 2006 These are a big improvement on the KKII designs (which I am no fan of). Still, there are a few odd things here. THe most obvious is that the armour has chainmail printed on it, making it look like an arming doublet (the garment worn under the breastplate). This would have actually been an amazing Torso print! The chainmail print being on the surface of the armour isn't my cup of tea, but it certainly beats the colourful space heraldry of KKII yr 2, or the futuristic patterns of yr. 1. The heraldry I like. Its far less modern looking, and seems like it will be easier to integrate into a more traditional collection of bricks. Later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted April 7, 2006 I can see the shields integrating into the traditional pieces without too many problems, but will the coloured armour integrate as well? There may be a contrast between the colours making the armour stand out more than it should. The castle MOCers will have to experiment and take pictures once these pieces become available to them.

Sting Posted April 7, 2006 Does anyone else think the new Red Armour could be used to make some nice Roman Army MOC's... It could have potential. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xwingyoda Posted April 7, 2006 I just *wub* those Pearl Dark Gold Armors ! I really want some of them ;-) I am not a KK fan but the upcoming sets are way better than the previous ones ! They come with great parts and great new colours !! *yoda* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jonfett Posted April 8, 2006 I really like the look of these new patterned armours and shields. This one looks like the best out of all of them.. They will be able to be into much better use than the stupid designs of the other ones. See what I mean! (left = new, right = old) Jon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Starwars4J Posted April 9, 2006 Gold armor + black hip + gold helmit + black visor (1990's) + black cape = very cool looking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blueandwhite Posted April 9, 2006 Gold armor + black hip + gold helmit + black visor (1990's) + black cape = very cool looking Yes, but is there a set that contains a helmet in dark gold to match the armour? It would certainly be nice, but thus far I don't see a set that includes such a piece. Does anybody know if one of this year's Knights will have a gold helmet? Later.

I just purchased a few of the dark tan helmits. Though not a perfect match, it'll go well enough with the armor. Definitely General material. How'd he get the plain gold armor anyway? Does a set come with that, or did he brasso some? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Hordesman Posted April 9, 2006 How'd he get the plain gold armor anyway? Does a set come with that, or did he brasso some? Battle of the Pass comes with some, I think one or two. Its obvious from the Toyfair pics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
