Unorthodox Chessmen, Weighted
Description
This is a series of [unorthodox chessmen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairy_chess_piece) for use in certain chess variants such as [Musketeer Chess](http://musketeerchess.net/games/musketeer/rules/rules-short.php), [Hiashatar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiashatar), and [Chess with Different Armies](https://www.chessvariants.com/unequal.dir/cwda.html). Also known as *fairy* chessmen, these pieces are based on my [simplified Staunton chessmen](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3783173). Note that this project is currently less mature than that orthodox project. In particular, the threads are known to be wrong and some parts' roofs will need a bit more support. ### Completed Designs: - *Corinthian Pawn* - a pawn with a helmet; may be used as a superpawn, bodyguard, or simply a cool-looking substitute for a standard pawn - *Monk* - a pawn-size hooded character - *Raptor* - featured in various chess variants as a hawk, falcon, or eagle - *Unicorn* - used in Musketeer Chess, knight-like but a bit more powerful - *Cannon* - for Musketeer Chess ### Planned Designs - *Elephant/Alfil* - used in Musketeer Chess and other variants, or in place of the bishop - *Hussar* - a Polish winged knight for games which feature a *flying* knight - *Jester* - *Leopard* - *Short Rook* - a limited-range rook, as featured in *Chess with Different Armies* - *Short Knight* - for use in any game which must distinguish two levels of knight, such as a standard knight and a weaker *charging* knight ### Likely Future Designs - Archer - Axeman - Bull - Cardinal/Archbishop - Dragon - Eye (of Providence, Horus, or Ra) - Fortress - Griffin - Lion - Mammoth - Musketeer - Prince - Princess - Rhinoceros - Spider - Swordsman - Wizard - Wolf ### Other Possible Future Designs - Bear - Cat - Chancellor - Chariot - Colonel - Crocodile - Demon - Druid - Duke - General - Genie - Giraffe - Glider - Goose - Gorilla - Guardian - Lieutenant - Lioness - Mouse - Rabbit - Raven - Serpent - Tiger - Vampire - Warrior
