Marshalling the host.

“Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds that you plant.” – Robert Louis Stevenson.

So with that in mind I can ease my way into a new Bretonnian wargaming adventure without the pressure of ever getting anything done. Its all about the dreams.

Leaving the comical stuff to one side this is my new adventure into Bretonnia which will cover old and new depending on what I can get my hands(reap) on as a reasonable price. I have noticed that after the Bretonnian price crash(when the new stuff came out) its started climbing again rather worryingly.

Anyway without any clear direction and squarely based on bargain basement stuff I have begun the dream of assembling a Bretonnian army. Everying is harvested from either fleaby or Facebook Marketplace,old and new. This army has no definite point score to it and as of yet faces no known enemy army type, its just for the love of doing so far.

To start the project off I have gone with completly new figure from Highland Miniatures. I had a reedem code from buying some Highland dwarfs and it was reduced. To set the scence I placed my penitent knight in a bit of scratch built terrain and got him praying for forgiveness from some dark past deed. From this point on he serves the lady and will scurge the lands of the non believers.

Bretonnian Knight and archers.

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.
