B is for badly behind schedule.
So just one month in to this plan and I am already falling behind.
I still have my Araby selection to finish but as I am well into next month ... I need to crack on with stuff beginning with B or I won't get any of the 'B's painted at all.
So as a little reminder B was for Bretonninans, Beastmen, Barbarians, and Blood Bowl.
However just like the A's I have found a bunch of other stuff beginning with 'B' I wouldn't mind getting some paint on.
For example I want to get some more Vikings painted both as the The Norse of Skeggi and for SAGA.
So I will be trying to paint up some Bondi and Berserkers. (D'ya see what I did there?)
So B is for Bretonninas, Bertrand, Brigand Bowmen and Bergerac.
I have always been a fan of Robin Hood.
There have been a few different movie versions of Robin Hood ... with the lead role being taken by the stars of their day ... Sean Connery, Kevin Costner, Russell Crowe ... but they all pale next to the original ....
A fact not lost on Games Workshop it would seem.
Never afraid to borrow from other sources ...
... so it was the legend of Robin Hood was woven into the background of Bretonnia.
However I am looking to make a start on my vintage Bretonnian army.
Due to scale creep the 5th edition Bertrand the Brigand and his companions would be a bit too large.
So I have been trying to select some likely alternatives from my collection:
I am thinking (left to right) Robin, Will Scarlet, Little John, Friar Tuck and Much the millers son.
Then for merry men ... I mean Bowmen of Bergerac ... a selection of peasant archers. (More in 'The dip')
With a few 'Rogues' for that 'Rob from the rich, give to the poor' look.
