Knight Girl's Bretonnians

[Knight Girl]

I'll be posting my Oldhammer Bretonnians here as I acquire, build, and paint them. My force is a mix of 3rd ED and 5th ED models from Citadel and maybe some other proxies.


First, the postman brought me some eBay treasures today: 3 "Fighter" blisters, 2 are the Bretonnian Knights with Handweapon, Mace from 1990, and the last is as shown a Chevalier D'Honneur" from 1989. I'm going to paint them all, I love the 3rd Edition knights and will have a regiment of them.

Aces. And look at that, new in the blisters.

Right? So much nostalgia.

Looking forward to seeing them in paint!

The weather has been against me for spray priming so I've been prepping lots of minis. Hopefully I'll get a day to spray them and then spend the time painting.

Can't wait to see how the army progresses. I loved those Bretonnian editions and always wanted to make one for 3rd and, although I made a start, my inability to get hold of the mounted knights (and total lack of focus) meant it stalled. I hope you didn't have to do anything too illegal to get those knights in blisters! My recollection, even a fair few years back, was that obtaining them involved blood sacrifices and your first born. Which I thought was a pretty good deal but no one else in the house did!

HI! I hope to show painted progress soon-ish.

The knights in-blister were not crazy-high, perhaps because of the condition of the card backs. I've had some good luck with finding 3rd Edition Bretonnian knights, it may just be that everyone is buying metal Empire and Chaos Dwarf minis right now or something. Metal 4th Edition Empire Battle Wizards, for example, are going for almost twice what I've been spending on Bretonnians.
