4806 "Smithy" hammered the final touch to his masterpiece. The spear stood proudly with its red flag and would be sure to let any opponents know who made this cart. The rest of the army's siege weapons would be put to shame by this sleek little ensemble. At least he hoped so.
"Horace... is this what you've done with the supplies for your regiment? This is pathetic and impractical," Leathereye remarked as he sighed at the younger soldier.
"It's not Horace, it's 'Smithy'!" he replied, angrily.
"Just because you're Cedric's son does not mean you can use these weapons for whatever project you want," Leathereye said sternly.
Smithy sighed and began to push his cart into line for inspection by Cedric, himself. His father would understand if no one else would, at least.


This is a small siege weapon or battle cart. It is smaller than any others the Bulls use in the line and actually looks like it can be pushed by the one mini-figure. Two large grey axes stick out of the front, while a large shield bearing the Bull's emblem rests in between them. Two large brown wheels allow the cart to roll. Two crossbows are positioned at the top of the cart, giving it ranged weaponry. A spear mounted vertically flies the Bulls' red flag.
This mini-fig boasts a different head than any of the other two I've seen used and re-used for the Bulls. This isn't a good thing in this case, however. It's pretty ugly and not even in a cool or comical way. The grey eyes make it this way, I think. However, the torso-print also seems exclusive to this mini-fig and it happens to be my favorite of the line so far. By combining this, a brown cape, and a Bull soldier's head with an eyepatch, I came up with a pretty nice looking mini-fig.
This is a pretty good set for $3, especially to bulk up a Bull army. The weapons leftover will help resupply your Fright Knights. Unfortunately, the bull-horn pieces included with almost every other set weren't included, but the helmet can use them. Lego could have put in another kind of helmet or simply included the bull-horn adornments. Anyway, this is a solid set with a fairly cool mini-fig.
