Bretonnian Lord with Great Weapon on Foot  -  Posted: January 3, 2026  -  Manufacturer: Games Workshop
This figure was one I didn't want to pass by, even though it's a Bretonnian lord on foot... What kind of Bretonnian lord fights on foot? Still, it's cool and I experimented with the sword, tried a non-metallic metal scheme using metallics. I'm happy with it.

I am totally going to field this figure as a foot knight. Who wouldn't? It's small and the helmet would definitely not fit that Lord's head... Still, it's unit filler anyway!

Bretonnian Lord on Magpie Hippogriff - King Louen Leoncoeur  -  Posted: November 16, 2025  -  Manufacturer: Games Workshop
This beast took ages to finish.I started the conversion project in Summer of 2024, and then finished that up by October 2024, and then it took me a whole year to finish painting it. These projects can feel so big sometimes. It's essentially like painting three or four miniatures, and when it feels like a chore it gets very difficult. But it's finally done and I am pretty happy with it!

Bretonnian Lord on Magpie Hippogriff - King Louen Leoncoeur  -  Posted: November 16, 2025  -  Manufacturer: Games Workshop
The hippogriff is inspired by the magpie as they are in the prairies of Canada. They are beautiful, mischievious birds that I really love. It also let me do something fun with the colours by allowing me to paint a black-primed figure up with blue highlights, all the way to white to show how it's kinda glossy and also add some green in there. I really like the way it turned out.

Bretonnian Lord on Magpie Hippogriff - King Louen Leoncoeur  -  Posted: November 16, 2025  -  Manufacturer: Games Workshop
The added mini shields allowed me to cover up the Age of Sigmar iconography, and the red and blue theme with hints of green and brown and off white and white I thought really worked well together.

Bretonnian Lord on Magpie Hippogriff - King Louen Leoncoeur  -  Posted: November 16, 2025  -  Manufacturer: Games Workshop
Years ago I was working on another concept for a Bretonnian Lord character icon of a raven holding a scepter with the top being a fluer de lis, and I painted a few men (and women) at arms with that iconography. I stole that for this fig, but instead of putting it on a different colour, I went with my red and black and off-white colour scheme that I used on my original men at arms. I really like that shield, I feel it turned out pretty well.

Bretonnian Lord on Magpie Hippogriff - King Louen Leoncoeur  -  Posted: November 16, 2025  -  Manufacturer: Games Workshop
The King's helmet was not too bad, I painted the wings in the same scheme as the hippogriff, but the lion was painted with the same off-white lion-ish colour found elsewhere on the figure. Also the sword was a fun practice in blending. I'm really happy at how the green blending went, but the outline lines are a little too thick I think.

Bretonnian Lord on Magpie Hippogriff - King Louen Leoncoeur  -  Posted: November 16, 2025  -  Manufacturer: Games Workshop
The sculpt of the hippogriff is really nice and dynamic. It has a lot of motion for sure. And it fits right in with the Bretonnian theme with those mini shields on there!

Bretonnian Lord on Magpie Hippogriff - King Louen Leoncoeur  -  Posted: November 16, 2025  -  Manufacturer: Games Workshop
The colour pattern of white and blue-black makes this bird pop in a way that no collection of browns and off whites would, so I'm pretty happy with it.

I like the bed roll added detail on the AoS figure there, it works in this context too.

The banner is made from paper and PVA or white glue, then painted.

I definitely could have cleaned up some of the lines and highlights, specifically the top of that little shield... oh well :)

Not a bad looking back side is it?!?

Bretonnian Lord on Magpie Hippogriff - King Louen Leoncoeur  -  Posted: November 16, 2025  -  Manufacturer: Games Workshop
Since I had to put a support in the front talon, I *had* to cover that up with some cat tails, which *had* to be in a pond, which *had* to be painted in a fun way. It was fnu to paint, and it was also a lot more work than just flock and sand and static-grass basing. I'm happy with it. All of the rocks, lily pads, and fish are freehand. Finally it was painted with a gloss nail poish that I borrowed from someone who wasn't using it for the wet look, which is hard to see in this picture.

Bretonnian Lord on Magpie Hippogriff - King Louen Leoncoeur  -  Posted: November 16, 2025  -  Manufacturer: Games Workshop
The figure is the original metal Louen Leoncoeur, which I happened to get cheap off of my favourite internet auction website. I had been mulling over what hippogriff to put him on. Some people put him on that Imperial Griffon, some on the Age of Sigmar Lord-Aquilor, but to me those were too big. I wanted something a big smaller, more along the lines of the old Warhammer hippogriff, that's when I saw the Vanguard-Palladors. They were a little big, and didn't have wings, but they looked great otherwise! Converting this King I had to cover up the Age of Sigmar iconography, which was easy with a few of those little shields from the Bretonnian Knights of the Realm box. Then I had to sculpt on the saddle to get the smaller King figure to fit, and then also attach the wings! The wings are the same metal wings from the 90s that were also used on the eagles, and many other flying figures back then. Finally, I had to figure out how to get the plastic figure to hold up the four pounds of metal on top of it (the wings and the king himself). The original model had a single contact point on one of the back hooves, which was just not going to do it! I was able to stabilize it with a single paperclip into the front-left talon... but how could I cover up the added support paperclip?!? And then it hit me: use cat tails and have the hippogriff jumping over a pond! I love the idea, and also it added a lot of extra painting and hobby time...

I wanted to do an entire red barded unit for Battle Masters, so I decided to do one based on a paint scheme I'd seen online somewhere for these old figs with the shield image on the barding. I like how they turned out in the end, super sharp in red, even though it's a bit similar to the other unit... anyway, the fleur des lis is always fun to do.

The original unit was royal blue and red, but I didn't want to do that colour scheme, I wanted to do one inspired by Sweden, and so it's blue and yellow! They turned out pretty well, I used the same device as the unit is supposed to have and that worked out well enough. Overall I'm pretty happy with these knights.

Bretonnian Empire Imperial Knights Battle Masters Old World Warhammer  -  Posted: December 5, 2024  -  Manufacturer: Games Workshop and Milton Bradly
The rear of the Battle Masters knights. I think they turned out well. The freehand is pretty good, but maybe I wouldn't hightlight it quite as high next time to preserve the difference in color and tone between the device and the background cloth.

Bretonnian Empire Imperial Knights Battle Masters Old World Warhammer  -  Posted: December 5, 2024  -  Manufacturer: Games Workshop and Milton Bradly
Many people asked about the scale comparison between the Bretonnian knights for Warhammer and the Knights of the Empire for battlemaster, so I decided to put together a scale comparison shot. The horses are a welcome third variation to the fifth edition knights, but the knights are slightly smaller, and their helmet designs are slightly later in historical terms. Also the feather is a little 'empire-ish'. Despite all of that, I think they work pretty well together.

Bretonnian Empire Imperial Knights Battle Masters Old World Warhammer  -  Posted: December 5, 2024  -  Manufacturer: Games Workshop and Milton Bradly
Three Bretonnian-ish knights from the Battle Masters board game collaboration between Games Workshop and Milton Bradley. I'll definitely add these to my Bretonnian Old World army since they are so, so obviously the precursor to the famous and wonderful fifth-edition Warhammer Fantasy Bretonnians. The feathered helms will add some variety, and the horses are basically the same horses from 5th edition. I'm happy with how these turned out and they were a lot less work than I remember Bretonnian knights being!

A close up of the front rank of my new Bretonnian men-at-arms unit. Well, not new, but newly rebased and reinforced with a few extra figs I had lying around to bring it up to a 18 man unit of figs on 25mm bases ready for the release of Warhammer the Old World! In the original Kings of War unit, these figs were burried in the second rank...

The entire Bretonnian men-at-arms unit all rebased and ready for their battles in Warhammer the Old World. I removed the figs from their Kings of War unit base, put them all on 25mm bases, and added four new figs to round them out to 18, enough for three ranks with a frontage of six figs.

Bretonnian Lord on Foot Warhammer Old World  -  Posted: June 13, 2021  -  Manufacturer: Reaper Miniatures
The Bretonnian Lord Roland 'The Gray' Tristement, a second son of a great Bretonnian Lord who struck out and attempted to found a dukedom in the Wasteland in the Northeast of Bretonnia on the edge of the Darkwald Forest. In the end he died Sadly at that hands of an undead blight that plagued his castle and lands from the beginning of his time. --- I really wanted some Bretonnian knights on foot, but those old GW metals are expensive on eBay, so I looked around and found these fantastic knights from Reaper Miniatures. Clearly they're going for that Medieval vibe and I think they're pretty great figs sculped by Werner Klocke.

Bretonnian Lord on Foot Warhammer Old World  -  Posted: June 13, 2021  -  Manufacturer: Reaper Miniatures
The Bretonnian Lord Roland Tristement used the symbol of the tower with four turrets on his heraldry because he knew that his fortress would be the only tihng that kept his people safe, and he wanted a strong image to rally the peasants behind. In the end it didn't avail him, as he was ambushed by the undead on his way back from a hunt, and although he fought bravely, he did not survive.

Women & Men at arms for Lord Ravenwand. Here's the whole (first) group together. I like the shields quite a bit, the gray and the blue look pretty good I think, but maybe they need some white lines too? Still, they look pretty decent to form up under Lord Ravenwand's Banner! Another seven or eight more and I'll have another Kings of War regiment ready for battle.

Bretonnian Women and Men at Arms Warhammer Old World  -  Posted: October 8, 2019  -  Manufacturer: Oathmark Miniatures w/ Statuesque female head
I wanted some more women - with the news that the famous Viking warrior grave housed a women in 2017 - in all of my armies, and there just aren't enough. Frostgrave looks great with all of their female options, but sadly their figures won't fit into the Bretonnian paradigm, so I picked up some heads from Statuesque miniatures. The heads are modern/sci-fi, but without any helmets they will pass as poor-ish warriors! I had to clip the necks shorter on the heads, but after that plus some green stuff, I think they look excellent.

The hat on this figure is my favourite, and the charicature-style face and facial hair. It really reminds me of the old Bretonnians with their big hands and straight, flat surfaces. The spear is much improved though.

Another Oathmark human with a Statuesque head. Again, I had to clip the neck post on the head otherwise it would have been far too long. I'm sure they leave extra length there just in case you need it, since it's easier to cut than to extend. Put some greenstuff in the hole for the neck, push the female head in and it was done. Super easy. Again, I like the figs a lot and these heads work pretty well.

These three knights were painted up for the Lead Adventure League a couple years ago, but they finally got based up for Kings of War. The basing scheme is for Kings of War, but inspired by the wedge-shaped Bretonnian knight units circa 5th edition Warhammer. It's tough to fit that wedge into the square bases for Kings of War, but here it is. It kinda works.

Bretonnian Archers  -  Posted: July 17, 2012  -  Manufacturer: Games Workshop
Another DBA-sized base of Bretonnian archers, and this one even has four figures on it! I went for a little more figs on the base just because I'm not as interested in economizing bases anymore, and because it looks good. I painted these ones exactly for the Hundred Years War, which the sculpting clearly based on.

Bretonnian Archers  -  Posted: July 17, 2012  -  Manufacturer: Games Workshop
Here's a 40mm square filler base to expand the previous DBA base into a Kings of War sized base. Again, I put three on here instead of the two that I put previously, and these are also painted for the Hundred Years War. I'm pretty happy with them, although I've been thinking that I might start blending more...

When I first saw this figure I immedietely liked it. That was more than a few years ago, so it was nice to get around to actually painting it finally. It turned out to be a bit of a challenege to paint... It's just so busy; all the GW characters are so busy. To counter that, I painted it simply. It's a late autumn colour composition. I' pretty happy with the way it turned out in the end.

This is my fourth HotT element of knights for my Bretonnians. It will also transform my previous three Bretonnian elements into a single Bretonnian knight regiment for Kings of War, which is exactly why I painted it up. It's also part of the command group, thus the horn there... I'm very happy with it, it's a bit snappier than my previous knights, and I think it's primarily because of all of the black lines separating the colours and outlining the devices on the shields... Note to self: black lines make for snappier figures!

Here's an obligatory shot of the full regiment of knights for Kings of War... turns out that 120mm is the width of a standard Warhammer/Kings of War cavalry regiment of 10 knights in a 5x2 formation! Lucky me that that's exactly the size of four 28mm HotT elements! Although, I can't imagine putting another figure per column... how could horses realistically move and fight in such a tight formation?

With Kings of War you need characters, and here's my first character painted specifically for the KoW action. She's sculpted by Sandra Garity, and although I thought she'd be kinda mediocre looking, I think she works perfectly for this role! She certainly stands up to the figures in the army so far, but has that extra little fantasy quality that every character figure should have in a fantasy army! The banner is actually a print out of my previous banner, and I thin it worked pretty well, although I will shrink the size of the banners, since it's very large.

A few more mercenary archers for the Bretonnians. I always have trouble with mercenary banners, but I'm pretty happy with this one. Still it shows devotion to the Lady, but with a warlike mercenary twist. I stole the design shamlessly from some random t-shirt with the fleur de lise skull motif. These guys will help transform my HotT mercenary elements into a Kings of War regiment with a banner.

Here's a shot of the two HotT elements and the two 40mm square elements working together to form a single Kings of War regiment of archers.

The defensive stakes make them as effective as a similar regiment of 20 figures without the stakes ;)

Another 40mm square base to convert my two levy archer HotT elements into a Kings of War regiment. I decided that these guys would have a simple banner, given that they're just levy archers I figured that their lord wouldn't splurge for a fancy emroidered banner! The dead guy is another archer slightly converted, but I am happy with it. I really like the faded black and red look!

Some close ups of the usurper king himself. This figure was converted from a standard 5th edition plastic knight of Bretonnia. I used some Empire Militia bits for the head and the right arm, and some eagle wings for the wings. Everything else (cloak, chain mail coif/head cover) were greenstuff additions. Overall, I am pretty happy with how it turned out.

This was the last element I painted for the army. It is a horde element to allow me to field the 3AP paladin option. The figures are from Old Glory and are titled revolting women and children. I am sure the name is meant to have a double meaning, as these are most certainly the worst 28mm production figures I have ever painted! Still, they have a lot of character and bring a certain trashy element to the army!

Bretonnian Army  -  Posted: September 28, 2009  -  Manufacturer: Games Workshop
The general of my Bretonnian army and the standard bearer of the army. The general figure is a grail knight champion that I really liked and thought suited the bill for commander. For this army, the concept is that one of the lords of Bastonne thinks that he should be king, not king Louen... So, he appointed this champion as his general, and assigned his standard bearer to him... Anyway, I am happy with the way it turned out, and the banner worked out well, and is a bit fancier than the banner held by the spearmen as well. Note that only two figures fit on a base; they're just too big!

A couple more knights making up another knight element for my Bretonnian HotT army. I really like the cahracter of these figures, especially the awesome head gear. Most people think that it's pure fantasy, those crazy head pieces, but it's not. Late medieval, early renaissance knights did indeed have sport some pretty crazy head dresses. Overall, I am pretty happy with these figs!

Another couple knights making up the third of the knight elements that will form part of the Bretonnian HotT army. This one I put a little more time into heraldry than the previous element. Overall, I think this is my favourite knight element in the army! Lots of fun to paint.

A Bretonnian paladin for sure, this figure is Jeanne d' Arc, Joan of Arc from Perry's Hundred Years War range of miniatures. I wuite like it, and it fits the Bretonnians in armour and spirit perfectly! It's based for skirmings, but I have a couple of HotT conversion bases so I can field this in my Bretonnian HotT army. Overall, I am pretty happy with how she turned out.

This is my favourite element of spearmen for my Hordes of the Things Bretonnian army. I decided that these spearmen would be here with the army's general, who in my version of the story recently took hold of the Duchy of Bastonne, replacing his cousin through murder and treachery! Aside from that, I enjoyed very much doing the heraldry for these. I purposed picked the coolest design/colours for the element, and it corresponds to a real Bretonnian knight as well. There are no decals, it's all freehand. I should also point out that these are not GW figures, but Perry miniatures. They work extremely well and are crazy cheap compared to the Bretonnian spearmen!

The second set of spearmen for my Hordes of the Things Bretonnians. I really like these Perry miniatures for so many reasons. It's awesome that they look so unmotivated. They personify the way I would feel in their position... "Hey Braithwell, I don't want to go attack those skeleton hordes... Why don't we just leave now?" This elements hails from the Duchy of Couronne, the King's Duchy. As such, they are going against their Duke and their King in this little rebellion! Again, it's all freehand, no decals.

After doing the mercenaries (later in this gallery) who have bright colours and snazzy uniforms, I figured I would do some peasants. Not really primarily fighters they don't put a lot of money into their fighting atire. As such, their stuff is faded, their helmet's are chipped, their uniforms don't really match all that well, and they generally would rather be at home. But still, after all of that, their colours match the heraldry of their Bretonnian Lords pretty well. I wish I had a fig of these with a guy sneaking out the back, that would be me ;)

More peasant archers, these serving another lord. Again, faded colours, mismatched uniforms, dented helmets and the heraldry of their Bretonnian overlords. Overall I really like the look of these figs.

I painted these older (Warhammer 2nd edition?) plastic archers in the style of the day: bright colours that like to clash! Not at all in the heraldry of the current incarnation of Bretonnia really. I imagine them as mercenaries. Given their success against knights, these guys realized that money was to be made inside Bretonnia, helping one Duke resolve the border disputes with another... These are based for Hordes of the Things (HotT), but are compatible with Warhammer as well.

Another element of mercenary archers for HotT (but compatible with Warhammer). Again, I stuck with the crazy bright colours of the classic Warhammer look.

The group of mercenary archers together lined up and ready for some action. Overall the effect of the wooden stakes works pretty well.
