I Ranked Every LEGO Castle Faction!

Heres my long ass comment. I hope you enjoy. I love the new Forest Men. But think the old ones where ok but plain. the new ones are my jam. I'm going to be real. I think the green dragons are a little over hyped. Their neat, but I uses them as former members of the red dragons. Who are on the run. Maybe make the Bear Knights. The original faction before most where forced to wear the dragon crest. The only ones who still wear it are the chads who will take anyone on. I love Vladek. But all the helmets suck on the minifigs. So that kills his minifig. I'm fine with the dwarfs. Just needed a bit more. My fright knight's are true neutral. And uses skulls in jars to power war machines. Their main issues that there grunts are to plain. the Skelton knight's have the beast evil lair. Besides maybe Jestros castle. I treat black knights as a grab bag of mid evil parts. I dont treat them as their own faction. I think the Bull is the best bad guy in midevil. But besides the Bulll there mid, and fit the dark forest man/wolf pack them more then the bulls. I tend to use the rouge, as a true rouge. Who rarely works the wolf pack. Most of the time just a bounty hunter. Currently I took my rouge mixed him with LM2 Wild style. And made a forest woman who field the forest men and is the leader for the wolf pack. I plain on taking the Vader mech. And turning it into a tree golem, power by the dead bodies of fallen forest men. Like a 40k dread noght.

Yes! Black knights and Wolfpack need a modern remake.

RIP Kingdoms theme, so much potential for that short lived theme. doesnt make sense why they would scrap their lion and dragon knight factions a year later for another lion and dragon knight faction...

Red Knights and Green Dragons chess set is a great way to get those figures

I totally agree with the Green Dragons as an S-tier. Maybe my favorite of the Castle figures. As far as I know they were the first with that dark pearl grey armor and accessories, fantastic prints, kind of at the beginning of castle getting cooler facial expressions. Their sets had a lot of parts previously unreleased or at least in new colors. I bought a lot of these. I think you may have been a little tough on Wolf Pack. Just figures alone they were pretty great and you see them in Castle MoCs all the time.

Agreed on 2 things, Fantasy Crown Knights are epic, and the Bear Knight is definitely ideal for green dragon knights.

If the Castle theme had lived past 2014 I think that it would have been great if we got to see different factions that correspond with different regions, the regions could be western Europe, eastern Europe, the Nordic countries, and even what we call the Middle East.

Definitely think Raven faction should get their own line of sets, maybe pit them against Bear knights. The color scheme and design screams classic lego while being fresh and grounded in realism

Green Dragons were the only faction I ever attempted to army build, they're so cool! Makes me happy to see some appreciation for them nowadays

I agree, the Medieval Blacksmith is my absolute favourite Lego Ideas set too. I love it’s scale, it’s detail, it’s civilian focus. I also love how perfectly coherent/self contained the design is. I’m not really sure how to explain it - the are no extraneous bells and whistles - every element of the design is focused on delivering the concept of “this IS a blacksmith”. Other Ideas sets may be more visually spectacular but not always so coherent E.g. Barracuda Bay (which btw I love) is more dramatic but a bit visually chaotic/fantastical, with lots of disparate stuff going on. I hope Lego makes more Medieval builds in the scale and style of the Blacksmith. These could be other buildings, or small diorama scenes (e.g. a farm or manor house, a watch tower, a toll bridge, a mill, a trebuchet etc)

I love Dragon Masters. They are my favourite faction, and I love all the factions of that era: Black Knights, Wolfpack, and Royal Knights.

Saying the blue lion knights are F is a crime, the figs and the sets are amazing

I think the pink crown knights deserve some more love. Last year I repurposed the new CMFs into a custom army and built my own version of the Classic Yellow Castle in a display that was approximately 30×40 inches. The new armor is really cool, with a nice printed torso under the Chestplate.

I agree with some but you gotta be honest with me most of the reasons I went against your decisions was just the pure nostalgia factor, most guys like me grew up with the lions and dragons factions that you put in the f and d tier and we loved them. I’m not trying to make an argument I’m just saying that some deserve more credit than they were given and I totally agree that most factions shown need a much needed modern remake but besides that it was a nice video and I enjoyed watching it, good job dude :)👍

It's hard to take the Rogue Knights seriously when they're almost naked.

Black Falcons are definitely my favorite, with a close second being the Red Lions from the Kingdoms theme. I like the Forestmen, too - though I agree that the minifigs are a bit plain-looking. The modern ones are better, but the fact that they only have the ones with the red sleeves/collars is definitely holding them back - the original 90s versions had a mix of red, blue, and black. And I definitely liked the Trolls, just for how unique they were! Their Mountain Fortress was such a cool reinterpretation of the classic LEGO castle-set formula. I'd love to see the Pink Knights get some new sets. The old yellow castle is definitely minimalist enough that there's plenty of room for interpretation, but between the yellow color, the arches, and the use of lattice fences on the main tower, I see it as a Moorish/Andalusian-style architecture. I'd love to get a full series of sets with that style, to contrast the more European-looking gray stone castles we've mostly gotten.

Dark forest got snubbed here! Dragon knights and fright knights are my S tier but I’m a sucker for 90s castle in general and I love the fantasy elements. Got a NISB night lord’s castle coming tomorrow!! Wish fantasy era wasn’t in my dark age, those sets were really cool

The Scorpion knights are S tier for sure, love their color scheme!

Great vid man! Looks like a lot of the classic Lion-based factions need a much needed remake!

I wish Lego castle would come back as a main theme, all the sets seem to be big collector sets or gifts with purchases.
