Foot Knight of Bretonnia! This is the alt head for the resin kit with a quick swap out for the other head! Using a bit of green stuff I made a jaw for the skull. He will lead the unit of exiled foot knights! . . . #bretonnia #warhammertheoldworld #warhammercommunity #warhammer

Yeoman Guard Unit ready to hold the line, it's taken a while but the whole gang is here! each with their own sigil to give them good luck and advertise their mercenary career! . . . #warhammercommunity #bretonnia #warhammerpainting #warhammer

This guy will be the unit champion for my foot knights. he is the resin hero, I have taken off the Ork head and replaced it with a giant skull, then using green stuff, modelled a jaw to give it a bit more life. . . . #bretonnia #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity #knights #warhammmertheoldworld

Work in progress on the next damsel for the desert army! Taken from the dark water set, she's perfect as a damsel. Might try and do a video of painting her! . . . #warhammertheoldworld #darkwater #bretonnia #gamesworkshop #warhammer

Another project after some successful eBay bidding! I managed to win this on eBay, very excited to add it to my collection and maybe use it on the tabletop! . . . #warhammertheoldworld #warhammerfantasybattle #warhammerpainting #Warhammercommunity #bretonnia

the first three of ten for this unit of Bretonnian exiles brigands, armed with blunderbusses and Pavise, ready for the tougher than average enemy! . . #gamesworkshop #theoldworld #warhammercommunity #bretonnia #warhammerfantasy

the unit champion, the desperado ready to lead his unit of border prince brigands. He has multi attacks, which I think is best represented by the multi barreled blunderbuss! . . . #bretonnia #warhammercommunity #warhammer #theoldworld #gamesworkshop

Another Pavise #workinprogress for the unit of brigands. This shield is inspired by St Micheal, which appears to be a common motif on historical pavises. This one is a bit more noble so will be for the desperado. . . . #bretonnia #warhammertheoldworld #gamesworkshop #Warhammercommunity

Next pavise done! Stocking with the risqué theme, these Bretonnian Brigands are a saucy lot, certainly they deserve their place in the borderlands. . . . #bretonnia #warhammertheoldworld #warhammerfantasybattle #warhammerpainting #warhammer

A little side project that I have been meaning to finish for a while: Arcane Familiar! Does it need representing on the TT? no Could I pass up the opportunity to paint the classic Morgiana Frog? Also no. I've gone witchy for this little guy. A nice interlude. . . . #warhammer #bretonnia

Final member of the border prince bombard crew! I've taken the sparky from the freeguild fusiliers, laden with gunpowder he looks ready to prepare a cannon for fire! . . . #warhammertheoldworld #bretonnia #warhammercommunity #gamesworkshop #warhammerpainting

The first 5 men in the yeoman guard! Their shields are more detailed to reflect their mercenary experience. The need to advertise their prowess! . . . #bretonnia #warhammer #warhammertheoldworld #warhammerpainting #warhammercommunity

Side project: Foot Squires! These are my new mordheim minis for my Bretonnian warband. Starting with an empire archer, I shaved his torso smooth, I used the arms from the new foot knights sprue and a knight errant head . . . #Warhammercommunity #mordheim #bretonnia #gamesworkshop #warhammer

Another #workinprogress this week! The last foot knight of this row for the unit. I focused on his head to get it just right, when you know what the knight is going to look like! . . . #warhammertheoldworld #warhammer #gamesworkshop #Warhammercommunity

Two more yeoman guard, taking coin to fight for their border prince leige! The champion of this unit gets a crown for command and the other has picked up another god, Morr or less! . . . #Warhammercommunity #bretonnia #paintingwarhammer #gamesworkshop #warhammer

The third knight of this unit, armed with an axe a sword and a shield! I used one of the new transfers for this guy. One left to do in this rank! . . . #warhammer #bretonnia #warhammercommunity #warhammerpainting #knights

Two more yeoman wardens for the exile army!! Each with a unique god, maybe a nod to some of the gods that have more power in the border princes than they have in Bretonnian. . . . #warhammertheoldworld #warhammerfantasybattle #bretonnia #gamesworkshop #warhammer

Border Prince Brigand! Armed with a blunderbuss and a shield, ready to jump out at unsuspecting travelers in the borders. His shield taunts enemies when he fights for his lord. Love the fusilier model, much better in the old world! . . . #bretonnia #warhammertheoldworld

Next unit: Border Prince Brigands! This is another unit for my exiles army coming together, using the freeguild fusiliers and some fire forge games pavises! . . . #bretonnia #warhammertheoldworld #warhammerfantasybattle #gamesworkshop #Warhammercommunity

Exiles Yeoman Guard! The first for a new unit of a Bretonnian Exiles army. As they have more leeway to paint what they like on their shields I figured I would go wild with it. . . . #bretonnia #knights #warhammer #Warhammercommunity #warhammerfantasy

I'm back with a foot knight, the first of a new unit! I'm also bored of tincture so I've started using orange. This will be a unit of 21. . . . #bretonnia #warhammertheoldworld #gamesworkshop #warhammer #Warhammercommunity

Next project #workinprogress ! I'm doing more artillery. I started this a while ago but I've finally got round to finishing it. I love the cities of sigmar range but it's not Bretonnia! . . . #warhammertheoldworld #bretonnia #gamesworkshop #Warhammercommunity

Tre-moo-chet done! Fetchez le Vache! Time to launch another cow! Fully painted with crew ready to fling cows at the enemies of Bretonnia! . . . #trebuchet #bretonnia #warhammerfantasybattle #warhammertheoldworld #Warhammercommunity

Work in progress on the trebuchet! It's almost here, the trebuchet in action. I've gone for a light brown wood and corroded bronze for the metal work. I need to do some highlights on the bronze and some grass tufts next. #warhammer #warhammertheoldworld #bretonnia #trebuchet #Warhammercommunity

Nottingham GT summary! So after a successful weekend at the Nottingham GT, here is the 2k army that I brought with me. No blocks of peasants yet... . . . #warhammertheoldworld #warhammerfantasybattle #warhammer #Warhammercommunity #gamesworkshop

Banner nearer for the Pegasus knights, done! It's not completely finished and it's another tournament ready! The flag is inspired by the royal french flag, the Oriflamme and the banner dragon of Wessex. . . . #warhammertheoldworld #warhammer #warhammerfantasybattle #warhammercommunity #bretonnia

Work in progress on my banner bearer Pegasus knight! Transfers are on, hopefully I'll get these two before the Nottingham GT! . . . #warhammertheoldworld #warhammerfantasybattle #gamesworkshop #bretonnia #warhammer

Bretonnian grail knights! I put these guys on new bases to be used in a tournament, I painted them years ago so I should probably do some more! . . . #grailknights #bretonnia #warhammertheoldworld #gamesworkshop #warhammer

It's been a banner year for me! I now have a fully painted 2k army and loads of banners to go with it, one just in time for 2025! Going forward I'm concentrating on infantry so I can make a winning 2k army. . . . #warhammertheoldworld #2025 #bretonnia #freehand #warhammer
