Minifigs
So who's in this set? A black skeleton (which used to be very rare before the chess set is release), a white skeleton with shiny helmet, and two footman. As you can see, footman only got the front torso printed.

Barricade
The barricade is actually quite simple, although it is small and thin, it do looks nice. Maybe because of the shield and spears. However, the skeleton have to stand on the platform to fire it's crossbow.

Catapult
The catapult is quite flexible actually, as there is no front or back here. The catapult can rotate 360 degree and fire any you feel like to fire at. Also it carries two small shield for the footman.

Extra pieces
In this set, we get a little more extra piece to spare just in case you lost them and/or broke them.

Completed model
I would say this is a nice set too as the catapult looks good so do the barricade. While from the point of view of minifigs, I don't like it that much, maybe there is no horses.
