Description

A siege weapon in miniature

The Twin-Arm Launcher belongs to the Lion Knights, the castle range from 1988. With 77 pieces and two minifigures it is not a large set, but it includes the essentials: a base or frame, a throwing mechanism with two arms, and two figures to operate it. That is enough for small siege scenes without needing a whole fortress. The set also sits happily next to the bigger castle models from the same line. It is easy to move, too, onto a wall or into a courtyard, so the little model can take on a role in any scene, whether as an attacking weapon or as part of the defence.

Brown, black, red and yellow

The four main colours are black, brown, red and yellow. Brown suggests the timber of the weapon, black and red the fittings and banners, and yellow adds highlights. This colour scheme is typical of the knight themes of the period and still looks simple and coherent today. If you are checking a used copy, the parts list on this page shows how many pieces of each colour should be present, so gaps are easy to spot.

29 part types for a moving build

The 77 pieces are made up of 29 different types, which makes sense for a set with moving parts: hinges, rods and connectors make the two arms work like a real launcher. As you build, you can see how a function can be fitted in with only a few specialised pieces. If you have ideas of your own, you can lengthen the arms, alter the frame, or put the launcher on a cart.

Two figures, plenty of scenes

With two minifigures you can set up a scene straight away, such as attacker and defender, or operator and guard. The pieces also work as additions to larger castle builds. If you add the set to your collection, What Can I Build will show which other models your complete stock could make and which pieces you would still need to get there.
