Description

A siege weapon in your hands

No castle siege is complete without a catapult, and this set turns that idea into a handy model of 83 pieces. The two minifigures load and fire it, so attack and defence can be staged straight away. Its small size makes it a good add-on for a fortress that is already on your shelf. If you want to put together a scene with a stronghold and attackers, you get the right machine here without having to buy a big box.

The darker side of the castle world

The Black Falcons are one of the best-known knight factions, and the colours show it: black, light grey, yellow and dark grey shape the set. The yellow acts like a warning light among the gloomy tones. Of the 83 pieces, 26 are different, so there are plenty of identical bricks for the frame and base. The parts list on this page shows the exact distribution and helps with sorting if you plan to rebuild the model or complete it.

Reusing the pieces

Black and grey bricks fit almost any castle, so it pays to look at the parts list before you buy anything. The “What can I build?” tool also shows which other sets your own stock could produce. The catapult itself can be varied too, for example into a crossbow or a watchtower, if you rebuild its parts. That is exactly why a small set like this keeps its value for a long time in a growing collection.

Play it or display it

As a toy the catapult works instantly, because two figures and one weapon are enough for an entire skirmish. Collectors put it beside other Black Falcons sets to show a closed scene. With only two minifigures and a modest footprint it is easy to house, and since the black and grey mix looks calm, it also fits into a cabinet alongside other castle models from the eighties. Going through the parts list also tells you quickly whether a second-hand copy is complete.
