This is my first ever attempt at painting up any Bretonnians and I am quite pleased with the outcome. I went with the peasant look and lots of brown leather instead of the chequered two tone colour scheme which is very popular. I must admit they were more detailed models than I first realised, especially as I included the stakes and movement trays to go with them. I think I will paint up another group of archers including a banner holder and musician(command looking group) next.

 I also need to come up with dedicated symbol for the banners and a bit of background history to my Brettonian force as it grows.

My first knight on horseback finished and a complete learning curve, especially the horse painting. The colour scheme is blatantly borrowed from many others before me but was very helpful as a painting guide for a beginner .

I must admit the strange bits connected to the horses feet threw me at first but realisation eventually dawned they were GWs attempt to connect the horse hooves to the base in a flowing style. I nearly cut them off.
