Medieval tale V

One of the factions for the Medieval Project is called The Emperors Light. 

For this army there will be a mix of figures from different suppliers but some of the figures, I’m particularly excited, about are the Bretonnians. 

I picked some knights up (I think they’re 4th edition maybe?) from eBay quite a few years ago now and all of them are in different stages of being painted. I guess you could call them an eBay rescue. The colour choices are a little McDonaldsy in my opinion so I’ll definitely be repainting. 

I just realised one of the Knights is holding a bugle. How can he blow a bugle with a full face covering helmet on? Haha

I’ve always loved the old school Bretonnian Models from GW but, to date, have never painted one. Like the imperial guard of 40k the Bretonnians are part of the human element/faction of the old warhammer fantasy game/world. Obviously based on Knights of ye olde England or even King Arthur and the Knights of the round table. 

I also scored a small bunch of men-at-arms.

The Bretonnian sculpts are a little dated now compared the newer more dynamic models GW are producing but there’s a certain charm about them that I personally find everlasting. 

The scale compared to perry minis, warlord and fireforge is a bit different but I’m not worried about that. Maybe the Bretonnians are like a super breed of human like Space Marines hehe. 

I should point out that these minis are plastic so not the old, OLD, school minis from GW but I’m excited to paint them all the same. 

I still have so much to build but, I’ll be honest, the hobby butterfly in me is already starting to think about Turnip28 haha. It was around this time last year that I was dabbling with that project so my next post might be on that OR maybe it’ll be on more medieval stuff. My blog is like a lucky dip, you never quite know what you’re gonna get 😉
