  1. Its not really big conversions yet. I tend to stay away from green stuff if I can and find ways to make parts fit. Trting to use 1 knight kit to cover a wide range. So far we have Mallobaude, as a Vampire Lord. Currently working on his Vengorian Lord form. Then the test model of the unit leader for the grave guard. Pay no heed to the Bretonnian lord in the back. He isnt keeping a eye on the bretrayer.
  2. Depends. If Bretonnia gets removed from the list of models again our points most likely wont be touched. It also depends how big the increase is. 1-5pts here and therw wont do mich to help. But if its like an average of 10pts change for most factions and bret remains where it is. Heck yes it will help. What would help more is if we got the City of Sigmar keyword. Holy cow (excuse my language TGA, I am a sailor 😧 ) the difference it makes, even just using nothing but bret models. Having access to some more benefits actually helps.
  3. As blasphemous as it sounds I have began a project.... a very dark project. With the introduction of the Soulblight Gravelords... I am slowly creating an army with the most hated enemy of Bretonnia. The B***** Duke, the Black Knight, the Serpent.... The Duke of Mousillon, Mallobaude. Who made a deal with Arkhan the Black in the end times and received the Blood Kiss. I am sure he would be made to "live," again to of course make good on his deal. Currently converting extra knights of the realm into black knights, men-at-arms into skeletons, evil damsels into necromancers, some of my old bretonnian lords on foot from even older editions into wight kings, and kitbashing left over grail knights with blood knights to make the dreaded "Knights of the Black Grail." Already turned the new vampire lord model (on foot) into Mallobaude.
  4. You do remember there was a time and place you couldn't even buy slaanesh models from the online store for a good year? The only character they had was Masque for awhile there. I miss you snake riding chaos lord! The same happened to the beasts of chaos. In fact I do believe their models where removed from the store for the longest of time. Also the main reason both Tomb Kings and Bretonnia kicked the bucket was during that time period Game's Workshop's.... faulty leadership.... was in a Copyright everything... phase. That's when the space marines became... Adeptus Astartes.... Astro Militarium... Ect. Guess what you can't copy right? Arthurian legend and French 100 year war era knights. Spooky mummy/skeleton Egyptians. Hense why the faction and models disappeared. I will give you one thing though, you can't even use the Legends heroes with your bretonnians... their keywords still don't match. (But who would anyway, in all regard the normal King is better then Louen.... for shame.) The only legend worth nabbing is of course the Green Knight.
  5. @Mwatts25 I made a kit bash of a Demigryph and Pegasus to make a sort of Hippogryph but I feel you... need a new sculp for sure... OR you can go for the old faithful!
  6. @Grdaat Everyone once said they will never bring back Slaanesh. The original rule books for AoS 1.0 and 2.0 did not have slaanesh's symbol. Their models where slowly being removed from the store and rules put into legends. Lore said Slaanesh was missing. Everyone consider Slaanesh to being removed to make the game more family friendly. Where is that now? Slaanesh now has two battletombs, and has an old world hero brought back from the dead and legends including the ancient mystical Slaangors... they even updated age old keeper and fiend models, and gave the masque an clean up. People said the old world was dead, it would never come back, we will have to live with AoS for ever or go to Avatars of War or Third Age.... and oh my gosh... look at that... Total War: Warhammer 2, heavily supported. Old world announced coming. Two factions pronounced dead given life again... Kislav and Bretonnia. You can continue to nay say my good sir, that is your right. But at this rate... anything is possible, and I hope we get to say "We told you so," later. Me and my massive bretonnian collection will wait eagerly. I am even cleaning up my Repanse (even though she more than likely not come back, she will be ready to quest).
  7. @oscisi Oh I plan to. Adepticon? Eh probably not. With the loss of the Sword of Judgement. With the introduction of Bonereapers and Telcis as well as so many more anti spellcaster stuff. My bretonnians are hard pressed to hold out two turns. And woe be me if my opponent has the double. The only armies I can really have a fun boute with nowadays are the stormcast, skaven, and beastmen. Everything else can literally eat the army alive. Sword of Judgement on a suicide bretonnian lord on Pegasus was my only trumph card for awhile (I will miss you getting d6 mortal wounds on 3+'s). I may still do it for the fun of it. Maybe do it in costume. Somethings I plan to do is proxy my boys as Bonereapers. As other then the fact their undead (blaspheme), they are relatively the same base size wize and martial prowess. The trebuchet actually fits nicely on the bone catapult base. (Gotta put my king on a slightly bigger base as the legio is 80mm and the king is 60mm). I plan to go to MWG when ever they allow visitors. See if the gang will let me add the "Cities of Sigmar" keyword to my boys for a game or two. Or use that community made battletome. From my month of visiting them, Matt is generally up to custom rules. Luka would so be down for it (I am betting). But I have fallen in love with my 10 Steam Tank army.... as well as my "vampire coast" cities of sigmar freeguild army.
  8. To answer your question. Yes. I did. To that last Adepticon before covid hit. Placed 83 out of 185. Won 2 out of my 4 matches. I lost to Nagash (because my grail knights didnt want to make a 3 inch charge... twice and left the king alone). And I lost to ironjaws.... with two wyverns, and pig riders. I was basically dead in a single turn. I am so glad that battallion is gone. I also took my brets to MWG. One won 1 out of my 6 matches. Against Steve's beastmen. But most of the time I didnt do competative choices in those matches (like the king challanging a ogre riding a giant mammoth with ****** armor to a 1vs1 honor duel). Recently however I have been hard pressed to play games or keep up with this community or even... make good of my promise of posting adepticon pictures. Even before covid... my job took me away from things for a long time. I still bring them to local tournies. Especially tournies where I know new players are playing. Cause truth be told. I ant going to win with them. But their gorgeous (to me) models and their a lot of fun. And a lot of prime players get caught off guard as its nothing they know.
  9. May I suggest 3d printing? I use the table war trays as well for formationa for fantasy.
  10. Really I won't mind a spiritual successor personally. Maybe with the recently announced pointy hysh elves? Explains the elven looking sword. The Lady of the Lake did sacrifice herself and gave her power to Teclis in the end times... Who knows? Either way two-three years from now if they do release the fantasy game, they will have to give us Bretonnia sooner or later at least for that. @Evangelist of Cinders Yes I do know that the grail is used all over 40k. But it is rarely used anywhere else in Fantasy. That sword looked Elven, and I know the Eldar don't use grails. But who knows!
  11. Could someone please put some sense into me before my own mind decides to raise my hopes so high, so that when they are dashed against more rocks I do not get devastated? Why? Because, I feel I am reading these signs to deeply: November 15th 2019: Games Workshop announces the Old World is in the works. A Horus Heresy for Age of Sigmar. Not only did they do this, but they showed a map with Bretonnia smack in the bloody center. While it is a many years away, it means they will have to re-cast or make new models for Bretonnia. December 12th 2019: Games Workshop releases the updated FAQs, Base sizes, and more. What is significant about this? Well, I decided to see if any changes happened to the Bretonnia compendium. But what is this? The Bretonnian compendium, the PDF, is no longer searchable on their main site and can no longer be located with the other Compendiums (Oddly so is Tomb Kings). December 20th 2019: An friend of mine, old friend from years past, that was also a avid Bretonnian fan has told me that some recent update to Bretonnia lore was hinted at in a recent release of some sorts. This one I put more as a rumor, as he has been unable to get me the proof of it yet. But it used to be that Grail Knights, Damsels, Giles, Leon, and a portion of Bretonnia was put in a realm called Haven. However Bel'lakor learned of its existence via Manfred spilling his guts in order not to be killed by Bel'lakor. It is left with the vague hinted idea that chaos then possibly eats Haven, but never truly stated. However, this new recent release states that the realm Haven actually was instead unable to be contacted anymore, having been lost in the massive saturation of Chaos. December 31st 2019: Games Workshop does this: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2019/12/31/the-rumour-engine-december-31st-2019/ Not only is this weapon Elven looking (as we all know, the Lady of the Lake was Lileath. Or other wise known as the Elven Godess of Prophecy who foretold of the end times). But that damned Grail trinket hanging of it! I know I might be reading to far into this, and spreading damnable rumors, only to raise peoples hopes and ruin them when nothing happens. But please someone tell me something to make me stop.
  12. @Grailstorm With the introduction of Slaanesh and some other tricks I have basically tossed out the useless Archmage I used to run in my list and have given myself a Bretonnian Lord... he is called my Suicide Lord. He takes the Sword of Judgement, for on the charge... he gets the mortal wounds on a 3+ on monsters, 4+ if its just a hero (this is combined with the Enchantress +1 spell, and the Kings +1 on charges command trait). And on Keepers or Similar ******, I tend to do what I call a "Pick your f***ing poison you degenerate inbreed daemon" if I charge in my block of Knights of the Realm with all the defensive buffs . I do this for them to hold the line for as long as they can... If its one thing a block of 16 Knights of the Realm are good for... its holding a line. While I charge the Suicide Lord into the keeper and I charge the 10 man squad Grail Knights, I have dubbed "Grail Team Six" and give him the choice.... either he dies from my Grail Knights, or he Dies from my Suicide Lord.... but his keeper isn't going to be there after this. The King Normally stays out of the fight if its a competitive game, friendly game... he attacks as he pleases with no care. For no Bretonnian ever stands behind his men. He accepts ANY CHALLENGE. In competitive mode he mostly deals with people "deepstrikeing" or reinforcing my flanks as need be. That immunity to battleshock is so d*** crucial, I don't like putting him into the fight unless needed. Remember a Slaanesh hero can only select one unit and make it fight last on a 4+ (2+ if its a Keeper), and if they fail that roll that unit cannot be picked again by ANY other Slaanesh hero.
  13. @oscisi Hey I've been busy for some time now, just a reminder I have not forgotten. Just hard to get to my camera that is in my apartment... when I am out in the middle of a big blue lake.... something about the Pacific Lake being really big. No ladies though, I haven't quested enough yet it seems. Also I would be willing to take those Bretonnians from you and give them a home with mine, if you are okay with me repainting them to better match my armor. However, it states you are not willing to ship to America sadly so I cannot attempt to buy them 😧 Also, @zilberfrid @Turin Turambar and @Verengard to help with the discussion on armor. If we look at the old fantasy setting the best way to look at it is fantasy and mordheim had a basic view on armor: Light - Leather/Studded Leather/Scale and the sorts. Heavy - Anything to do with metal, I.E full plate, breastplate, bretonnian chain. So from Mordheim (as I used to play with my brets): Light Armor gives you a base 6+ save. Heavy Armor gives you a base 5+ save. Shields gave you +1 to your save. (I.E, now 5+ or 4+) Swords gave you parry (When someone rolls to hit you, you roll a d6, if its higher than the highest hit roll of the opponent, the attack fails. Parry couldn't work against things with STR x2 your T). Being on a mount gave you +1 to your save. (I.E. now 4+ for light, 3+ for heavy) If your mount had barding, you get +1 to your save, however you lost movement speed. (I.E. now 3+ for light, 2+ for heavy) However Morheim's rend rules where different. Your rend was based on the strength of your attack (model's strength + weapons strength), where 4 strength gave you -1 rend. All humans start at str 3 and a sword doesn't add strength. So my Questing Knight, who lead my Knight Errant and a few ment-at-arms. Would usually have this load out: - Heavy Armor - Shield - Sword (only for if it was still alive after the charge) - Steed - Barding - Lance (only for the charge) While he did cost half my warband he ran around with a 2+ save. Even in 8th edition it was the same for armor: Heavy Armor is a 5+ Save. Shield adds +1 to the save (4+) Being on a mount adds +1 to the save (3+) Barding on the mount adds +1 to the save (2+) All Bretonnian Knights started with this equipment in 8th edition: - Hand Weapon, Lance, Heavy Armor, and Shield - Barded Bretonnian Warhorse Meaning the entire army mostly had 2+ saves. But again rend was very different in fantasy.
  14. News update. I have safely made it to my new home. Still in the process of settling in. But after months of waiting that Adepticon report will come... as soon as I find the box my camera was put in..... 😅
  15. Mercenaries are Narrative play only I believe. Or I may have read wrong. It has been proven many a times I have read wrong.
