Right when I was about to sort, I got the flu. Perfect timing

Just remember that quality trumps quantity. I am not a fan of people trying to make their army into more than it should be by conscripting town and space figs into their ranks

LOL my city/space guys can easily become medieval via careful cape/armour/helmet placements as well as using skirting. i am actually going to get some fabric this weekend to make some little battle kilts for my guys. but even still having a 250+ strong official outlaw style army is still nice. i need more horses... def more horses. and wargs... need more wargs.

I think everyone needs more horses. I especially need more horses. Which reminds me of the Loreesi theme music "LOOK AT MY HORSE! MY HORSE IS AMAZING!"

i did a count this morning before my stomach decided to make me crazy ill right before work... i have 36 horses including my native print ones. i also found out i have 9 chickens (i thought i had like 18-27 so i need to hunt em down) 5 wargs, i think it was 8 normal sharks, 4 sword fish, and 1 great white, and two octopi i know i have a few more horses boxed up, in sets i have yet to open and sort... but i dont count those. i also have something like 15 dogs or so from the small castle set. also i spent some time looking at the upcoming pirate sets offically placed on Lego S@H... really dissapointed in them... not many good pieces, they seem poorly built and not vintage lego style but more of the juniors line lego has now... the ship left me a bunch to be desired.... but i will still probably buy one.

I think everyone needs more horses. I especially need more horses. I could use a higher percentage of the new horses, but I have a whole Sterilite shoe box of both old and new horses. I'll have to get a count of them sometime. Since my Garhims are mainly footsoldiers, I am pretty sure that I am the exception to your rule. I do have a healthy pack of wargs, somewhere between 15-20, I think. Those are the preferred choice for chasing intruders from our northern lands, as illustrated below: LCC - Garheim Local Challenge 17 - "Propaganda" by AK_Brickster, on Flickr (Sorry, I know this is supposed to be non-faction related!)

I just wish we had some color other then brown with the horses. That as it is I have like 15-20 horses, 3 warg, and will have 5 polar bears in a couple months also 6 pigs, a bunch of dogs, 5 brown cows, 40 some odd chickens I still need some goats. As to the pirate line, most of the sets are rehashs, and nothing really retooled. I plan to get a ship as I dont have any, and probably a couple of each of the other sets for parts packs. I really was hoping for something more but I will take what we can get. Also I really hope for a good castle line in the next coule years

you and me both curt, i am kicking myself for my dark era hitting when the kingdoms line and such was... Bionicles just turned me off of lego back in the day and i got burnt in the long run. i keep letting lego know in all their surveys they give that we need a none violence based medieval line, so we get more animals and civilians instead of horses and soldiers.... who needs 20 kings? NO ONE! i do need more beggars though...

Most of my Beggers, I am using prospector and goblin torsos for. And yes I hit a couple dark ages and missed out on some good stuff in 2007-2013 07 was a bad year for work and other stuff and I just kinda let lego slip on by. Bionicle / hero factory is a big turn off for me, though some of the parts are great for some castle stuff oh well I just need to build the next couple days.
