About Fright Knights

Bats, a witch and a night lord

Most of the story can be read straight from the set names. The Bat Lord has his own catapult, the witch travels by windship and lives in a magic manor, and the whole faction is centred on Night Lord's Castle. The tone is closer to a ghost story than to the historical sieges of earlier Castle waves, which made the theme stand out when it appeared in 1997. A few small sets followed in 1998 before the line ended.

Sizes and variants

Night Lord's Castle (6097-1) is the largest by a wide margin, with 607 pieces. Witch's Magic Manor (6087-1) has 255. Traitor Transport exists in two versions: 6099-1 includes a cave and has 146 pieces, while 6047-1 has 145. Smaller entries include Witch's Windship (6037-1, 60 pieces), Bat Lord's Catapult (6027-1, 54), Fright Force (6031-1, 28) and Fright Knights Catapult Cart (2540-1, 27), the last two both from 1998. If you are unsure which Traitor Transport you own, the parts lists make the difference easy to spot.
