The Bat Lord is back!

With his Lunar Castle, Black Dragon, and undead army, he will rule the night once again!

Story:

After being banished by the united forces of all the other knight factions, the Bat Lord has finally risen again! With the black magic offered by the sorceress, a new castle is built on the moon, and the Bat Lord vows revenge!

Rising his loyal knights from their graves, riding on his fearsome black dragon, he will plunge the world into everlasting frightful night!

Inspiration:

The Fright knights is one of the most unique castle factions in LEGO history, and with the return of Ghost knight and Basil the Bat Lord in the Collectible Minifigures series, I wish to make a fantasy castle to continue their story!

The concept of a castle inside a crescent moon is explored in a number of fantasy art, and offers strong gothic / vampiric imagery. I think many LEGO fans would love a set based on the concept, especially if it comes with the revival of Fright knights!

Model details:

The Moon castle is supported by a cloud base. Technic core and SNOT technique reinforce the structure

The Main tower: The red and black color scheme is inspired by the classic Fright knight castle. An open back allows access to the throne room, library, attic with magic ritual, and main hall with a chandelier.
The prisoner’s cage connects directly to the throne room. Here a skeleton is found. Maybe an enemy knight after interrogation and a visit from the dragon?
Side tower: The Witch’s study, with a fortune telling crystal, ritual candles, and a giant spider web (echoing Willa’s spider motif). On top, a giant siege crossbow manned by an undead knight, where the Moon castle can launch attacks on the earthly forces. A play feature is included for launching magic flame arrows.
Hidden treasure: An angel statue hides a secret treasure box. Inside the castle, a key is hidden, and a secret path to the treasure can be revealed by playing with the organ (music instrument).
This set also includes a Brick-built Black Dragon, with movable legs, wings, neck and tail. It is a spiritual successor / upgrade to the classic LEGO Black Dragon, first introduced with the Fright knights lego sets.
