bretonnia Long Live Bretonnia! (A warcry Band)

[IronCog]

Right So from the Title of the thread, it's a Bretonnian Warcry Band. Now the first question is what Warcry band? Well  Idoneth Deepkin get weird sky Eels...... hummm things that fly..... knights..... Pegasus Knights? Also.... archer infantry.... hummm Bowmen? So my plan is 3-4 Knights, and 1-4 Bowmen. I know horrible list, probably going to loose a lot but I love Bretonnian Questing Armies so we're doing it. Ebay is supplying the Pegasus, their in the mail right now but I have loads of bits and want to get started, so I built some knights from parts I have laying around, they're a mix of empire, bretonnians, goblins, Imperial guard, etc.... 

I began with building my "Lord" Knight:

 

While I wait on pegasus, I actually built a BSB or Battle Standard Bearer:

The standard s plasticard, brass rod and some greenstuff. Then I spent this weekend painting somewhere around 9-12 hours of painting work:

I'm trying to press my painting skill, also using a crappy phone camera. 

 

Comments welcome, Also Thanks for looking & Reading.

Sincerely,

Right so I got reinforcements via ebay! They're still soaking in simple green to strip the paint.

 

Also as for why I've been a bit quite I'm actively remodeling my house / tiny home which took a bit almost done, one of the things I did was build a better modeling table also I kind of organized my tools, as I am also a scratch builder.

Thanks! I hope to get this thing farther along. I think I might try and go full 1,000 point army one of these days.

Right sorry for a "double post" but well I want to get some models done. 

So update, I got done cleaning (I know I could go deeper but I want to start painting a Pegasus) 

His head is new not sure where the other one went. I also built up the base, don't worry there is a brass rod core, and the grey white stuff is Vallejo Grey Pumice which will look like sand for the water effects I plan on doing.

Also I started in on an Archer for my warcry band and I got say I am liking it. The core model is a Necomunda Cawdor soldier, Bow is from High Elf archers and the head is a bretonian Man at arms I had laying around.

This is so cool! I love the bases you have built and the Cawdor body looks great when all put together!.

Thanks I saw another conversion of them for mordihem that's where I got the idea.

So Small update, for this months painting challenge I am doing a Bretonnian Pegasus Knight:

He's in pieces right now to make painting him easier:

 

And I finish 4 archers to join my Warcry unit:

 

Custom Banner of the Lady for my foot troops:

So from the OP is it safe to assume you are planning to runn them with the Idoneth Cards for Warcry ?

If yes, then its nice way to bring back some of the old flavor!  At least if you dont fancy yourself being a giant, bloodsucking, bat monstrosity who thinks themselves noble knights  

I am hoping we get more older faction cards. I would to to see BoC Warband for example.

I have to totally agree I'd Love to see a Bretonnian Warband our local group has though of making some simple rules but Idoneth Warcry warband really works well. I run 3 "Pegasus Eels" and 4 Archers don't win a lot but I have so much fun losing. 

 

 

So its been a while, I've been busy and well lazy. Today I did some work, now I know they look like snot rockets, but trust me its water effects.

 

To be exact, Vallejo Water Texture:

 

I found a cool base building tutorial I am going to try and incorporate into their bases. 

Here is the tutorial, its not mine I am just using it:
