LEGO collaborations between creators are always fun, especially with minifig creations, as it takes a type of building that can feel quite small assemble into something epic. It’s also inspiring, when working with friends and those you admire, to see what your fellow creators will make of a theme.
This particular constellation of minifig builders first came together for a dark ronin-themed collab called Prism of Shadows that we all posted on last Halloween. We had such a good experience that we wanted to keep the group going, and so, for our next theme, we chose the Knights of the Round Table.
We started by curating a list of knights, then randomly assigned one to each builder. We all did a little research on our respective knights to inform our interpretations. As a small side build, we all made a chair, so our Knights could sit at the Round Table. David (@artist_davs) made an awesome logo for the collab, allowing us to tie them all together.
King Arthur by @brickbot_studio
“I am Arthur, once a boy who drew a sword from stone and became a king by destiny and resolve. In my long reign, Camelot stood as proof that justice, courage, and fellowship could shape a better world. I gathered knights not for their birth, but for their honor, and together we turned hope into law and legend. Though I have known loss and betrayal, they never outweighed the good we forged or the peace we defended. As I look back across the years, I see a life well spent in service of a dream that will outlive me.”
Sir Gaheris – @red.impala
“Gaheris was not a knight shaped by torchlight or song. His helmet bore the antlers of a stag he had speared himself. They were not a crown, but proof of patience and control earned far from witnesses. At the Round Table, his chair carried a flawless golden replica of the same rack, the hunt translated into symbol and memory. Gaheris sat upright and silent, as if assigned to the seat rather than indulging in it. A man who guarded the realm while others debated it, understanding that order endured only because someone was willing to stand between civilization and the wild, and not look away.”
Sir Feirefiz – @_motherofcatdragons_
“Feirefiz, the Peerless Knight. Son of Gahmuret, brother of Parzival.
A pagan prince whose black-and-white skin marked two worlds. He fought his own blood before knowing his name, stood honored in Arthur’s hall, and could not see the Grail until faith opened his eyes.
Knight of steel, not scripture, until love rewrote his fate.”
Sir Gareth – @2p_figs
Sir Bevediere – @expansionbricks
“Among the first knights to be mentioned in the legend of King Arthur and the very man to return the sword Excalibur to the lake after the king’s passing, Bevediere is often portrayed as a scientist of his time or an inventor. He is depicted here in his alchemy lab with potions and brewing jars. He has a tall, almost wizard-like helmet and an enchanted purple pole-arm with a mace head. Look closely, and you can see the result of failed experiments on his flesh.”
Sir Gawain – @artist_davs
“Within the quiet halls of stone, Sir Gawain keeps his vigil. At his side burns the sacred flame, a sign of the sun’s blessing that grants him strength and clarity of heart. When dawn comes, his valor shall rise with it—but even in shadow, his oath does not waver. Nephew to King Arthur and sworn knight of the Round Table, Gawain bears the lion’s shield as a mark of courage tempered by mercy. He seeks neither glory nor conquest, but truth kept and honor upheld. In chapel and battlefield alike, his presence stands as a vow: so long as light yet burns, the Round Table shall not fall.”
Sir Percival – @jdm_bricks
Sir Galahad – @asortaokaybuilder
“The young knight who claimed the Siege Perilous, wielded the sword in the floating stone, bested his father Lancelot in fair combat, and sought and found the Holy Grail. By God’s design, the best knight in the world. Also a huge virgin. (Bless his chaste heart.)
He performs miracles, saves both damsels and fellow knights, heals unhealable wounds…
Not for the notoriety, nor the accolades, just because he is simply the best there is at what he does: Questing.
And once he found the Holy Grail, succeeding where so many others lost their lives?
Peaced out to heaven. Went right up. What a guy.”
Sir Lionell – @bam.bricks_customs
“Sir Lionel is no ordinary medieval knight. He has always been fascinated by technology and is a regular visitor to the technomancers in the castles ground. Behind the massive black double doors, the assistants of the technical masters are screwing and hammering at the iron improvements. Lionel was willing to take any risk to achieve supremacy, so he convinced the technomancer to pore over the old books and combine the writings with current technology.”
Sir Lucan – @beyondb0nes
“Sir Lucan the Butler, faithful knight of King Arthur. Father of Sir Bedivere, he was mortally wounded while helping Arthur during the Battle of Camlann and died from his injuries. Loyal to the king to the very end.”
Sir Tristan – @phiphibrick
“Tristan’s first choice was to be an archer. He wanted to be like Legolas in The Lord of the Rings— slim and agile, without big muscles. But movies lie. Drawing a bow needs a lot of strength. In the end, Tristan still had to carry his big muscles everywhere.”
Sir Balin – @ronin.bricks
“Balin the Savage, also known as the Knight of Two Swords, had his destiny sealed when this weapon-hungry warrior drew a cursed sword, leading him to fall upon an unfortunate fate.
Before his demise, Balin would embark on numerous quests, earning him recognition in many courts. One day, however, Balin drew a sword that would eventually fulfill a prophecy in which he and his brother would die at each other’s hands.”
Sir Yolan – @shulika_27
“A great knight from a distant kingdom that is in the abyss, he has to fight huge monsters, and that is why his armor is as deadly as his weapon.”
Sir Lancelot – @zakar.ion
There you have it, our take on the Knights of Camelot. Our next collab is a free-for-all pirate crew, where we all will create pirates in our respective styles. Stay tuned for that!
