Kingdoms Advent: Day 15
Dec15
Day 15 and I’m resorting to repeating lame Arthurian Jokes from the internet.
What was Camelot famous for ?
It’s knight life !
Day Fifteen: Jousting Dummy
Today we have another decent addition to the Kingdoms theme. This little jousting dummy (or training dummy, or whatever you want to call it) gives us a few more spare weapons and armor for our minis after you take things apart. (I can always use another one of those 2×2 plates with the post in the center.)
But even if you left him alone, he’d make a decent low-budget Arthurian Terminator.
Mine wasn’t a 2×2 with a stud in the center, i had a 2×2 with a uh what do you call those little black things for pivoting things.
Whoops. Yeah, it’s a post, not a stud. I’ll update the text.
I kinda like it
But I think it would’ve been cooler if they had made a quintain It’s a kind of rotating dummy with a shield in one hand and a weight on the other, used for tilting. A knight was supposed to joust into it, hit the shield, and then dodge the weight that would swing around and knock the knight off his horse. It’d be a bit more complex, but I can think of a way to do it
But it does work like that.
