Review brought to you by BrickEconomy Bot
Steve's LEGO Blog
“This little set is the strongest of the Black Knight’s siege equipment, a small twin armed catapult that sadly cannot be moved, it does however rotate and is equipped with a fair supply of stones, so at least it has some strengths. It also comes with two minifigs and a fair... More supply of equipment and a nice green base.”

Brickipedia
“This set is often listed as part of the Crusaders theme although the soldiers carry Black Knights shields. The catapult is mounted on a 4x4 turntable which is mounted on a small green baseplate. The catapult arms can be operated independently.”
