Trokair Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Seeing that we now have a dedicated area for all Old World stuff I though a thread for all things Bretonnia might be in order, from Vanilla to Crusade and even the Exiles (of which I will probably be one).

Trokair Posted March 16 Author Share Posted March 16 For some reason all the pictures are upside down for me. Still interesting to see how they match up size wise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonhel Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 They look CoS Cavaliers sized? I have to say while I was in the beginning not a fan of those foot knights aestehetic and I preferred a plastic QK or GK set instead of foot knights for Bretonnia. The mini's look a lot better than I expected, especially the sword/shield variants. I really like the design of the swords. How do they perform on the battlefield? Still a proper Bretonnian knight fights from horseback.😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightbox Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 I'm also curious to see how people have been running / theorycrafting foot knights as the models are -gorgeous-. My thoughts are using them with great weapons as I'm not sure there's much need for them being an anvil with sword and shield when yeoman guard/men at arms blobs are so cheap. One thing I have discovered during my game with brets I had vs goblins was that a baron on royal pegasus with the exiles magic axe and gromril helm is an absolute beast in combat. She really ran rampant through some units and I had the good fun of doing enough overkill during a challenge that she managed to make an entire unit of orcs and their warboss flee and get run down...

They've got Furious Charge, so great weapons and a relatively large unit to soak up casualties feel like the most sensible option (even with the Blessing, they're pretty squishy!). Apart from that, run them in a Errantry War list, or as Exiles with the Vanguard banner to guarantee they get that charge? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from that, run them in a Errantry War list, or as Exiles with the Vanguard banner to guarantee they get that charge? Yeah I was thinking of making 20 of them. I have 2 boxes so was planning 20 GW, 10 S/S (because I like the models) who can always sit in the back rows as extra GW boys and girls in a pinch and then use the spare 10 bodies for conversions and such. I also kinda wish we had a few options of great weapons without the second hand molded on so I could use them for grail knight conversions but that should be a fairly easy fix anyway. Also using the upper torsos on KotR legs shouldn't be too hard a conversion. Edited March 22 by Lightbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonhel Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 (edited) The start of my first lance. A lance of 10 Errant knights. I only need to print the Gallant and than I have 10 😄. Lol, it will take a while to get everything painted. 😮 After that 2 lances of 10 KotR each :-D. Edit: Added a close up of the shield (wip). I like it. I am going for 5th edition heraldry style.

JackStreicher Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 (edited) Since I really liked Lords of the Lance (It has its weaknesses) I decided to build some black steel knights, the Dragon banner of Aquilena and the Dragon Horn of Aquilena.

Double Misfire Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Very nice! Is that a Dragon Prince banner? (Reminds me, I need to source a Dragon Prince banner top to spruce up my Prince Ulther's unit now they'll finally have playable rules!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davariel Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Those foot knight conversions look excellent. The more I see of those models the more I like them (and I thought they were good to begin with!). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every loss did hurt. only criticism (apart from what you mentioned, which doesn’t bother me): The hardships they encounter on their journey are kind of unlikely, all of them and there’s a lot of unlikely encounters 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trokair Posted March 31 Author Share Posted March 31 (edited) While I am still waiting for Forces of Fantasy and the Arcane Journal to come back into stock, and therefore will wait with building of some models until I have read the rules and made an army list, I thought I would get started on some of the more simple elements and get them built in readiness. I am going to start with the Archers and I was wondering if a command group for them is really needed, or could I use those bodies to bolster the Men-at-Arms or use them for things like artillery crew or some such. Edit: Followon question, how many Archers would you consider a good amount? Edited March 31 by Trokair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trokair Posted April 6 Author Share Posted April 6 Build some Peasant archers this week. The front 10 are skirmishers, and I did some light conversion work to reangle arms/bows and such. Then at the back is a bigger unit. Slight filler in the front rank in the form of some spare of the barricade logs stuck upright with a flag attached and one a second base a drum converted into a barrel full of arrows and a brassier. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trokair Posted April 17 Author Share Posted April 17 Men at Arms built. That should be all the peasants for now, got a few bodies left to add crew to war machines or bulk out battle pilgrims if I do a unit of those. Not sure what to do next, considering Mounted Knights or Foot Knights. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trokair Posted Thursday at 11:00 AM Author Share Posted Thursday at 11:00 AM I know it is technically an AoS model, but this is my colour scheme test for my Men-at-Arms. I might pick a slightly different dark green as the pot has gone wired with age and despite lots of shaking and such I could not get it to be truly smooth and homogonous, which is fine for the cloth, but less so for the shield. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarouan Posted yesterday at 09:47 AM Share Posted yesterday at 09:47 AM Honestly, he would find its place easily in a bretonnian army. And if you put knight on foot next to him, the difference in height would be less striking I believe. This picture shows how much better it is to have your basic infantry on 25x25 base than the old 20x20 one. Sooo much easier to use AoS miniatures to TOW.
