Thanks! I've never been a fan of Lego's clearly racist anti-Chiss policies.

I would say no, as you can always make your own mountainous base to place a castle on. However, I do like the multi-tiered format and dungeon-esque play features of the raised baseplate castles (like 6081 and 6086). Agreed that moulded plates would add too much to the price as well.

Thanks! When I first started out (again), I couldn't decide between doing the Crusaders/Black Falcons/Black Knights versus the older Classics (and I didn't like the stickered armies of the Yellow Castle, although I had the set). These older guys always held the most power in my armies as a kid, so I thought I'd run with that idea!

Thank you! Always loved these guys, as I only had one of each when I was a kid (grew up mostly with crusaders and black knights). The blue head is custom from Christo (his Grand Admiral Thrawn). I paid big, but couldn't resist the blue head.

Greetings! Long time reader, first time poster. I've been working on some Classic Castle armies for more than a year now (from sets 677/6077, 383/6083) which have been customized color-wise and fleshed out. I know some consider flesh to be heresy, but it is what brought me out of my dark ages. I like when each knight is individual and I can give them a name and identity, and not forget them later. I have four factions going right (slightly fantasy in race, but no magic) now which I call The Kingdom (the ruling faction), The Others (a group of rebels and outsiders from the Old Kingdom), The Alliance (a group of Republic styled warriors led by a group of Nine elder leaders) and a fourth unnamed (but hugely powerful) faction. The Kingdom, The Others, and The Alliance all have completely different heads, while the unnamed faction reuses many heads. The Kingdom The Others The Alliance and unnamed to come soon...hope you enjoy!
