Eurobricks

“For a small battle set / army builder, this one is O.K. On one side we have one of the usual KKII colorful knights with his own attire and emblem, a "triangular" sword, his "custom" shield and a horse with head armor. On the others side, one Shadow knight wearing red and... More black like his master (Lord Vladek) and most everyone in their army, plus a small (but effective) battle machine.”

Brickset

“There's two minifigures that come with this set. That of the red knight known as Santis and featuring a bear symbol on his shield. The other is one of Vladek's Scorpion Guards or Warriors. Both are very good in their detailing and symbols. And this is one of the cheaper sets... More to get a hold of Santis in.”
