So I'v started a bret army with a templar theme and just finished my 1st knight.

Opinions, criticisms, advice (particularly on how to base them better) are all wanted.

**Ordo Dakka**

Nice, very clean white. Knightly.

**Kubik**

Wow, and I thought it's nearly impossible to customize, and make some cool theme for WFB army. You proved me wrong.

**CrazyMez**

Other than the symbol on the shield being a little A-Symetrical I have no complaints. Id possibly give the base a different coloured edge to the centre of the base.

Its a personal preference but as you gone for a brigth sandy colour perhaps edge in bubonic brown?

**Inanimate**

I like this. Looking forward to seeing more.

**kenshin620**

Awesome idea!

Although all the funky helmets make great teutonics

I just tried bubonic brown and its to greenish so I'm thinking i should keep them as is or else go with a pale brown of some sort.

I've got another 5 that are nearly done, got a day off tomorrow so hopefully I'll have them done soon

**Trilobite**

Fair enough, Like i said its a personal preference. Either way, they are looking good.

I did a few of my Knights Errant like this. It's gotta be the easiest way to paint Brets. It's definately the best way to put a decent-looking Bretonnian army on the table fast.

**kronk**

Well done!

Maybe a few tufts of static grass would be good, but it looks great.

**jonolikespie**

I managed to get 2 more guys done 2day:

All 3 together:

Atm my list has a bret lord and a prophetess and I don't know what models I want to use for them, any ideas

**Norwulf**

WOW! I love these! Great idea, you've made me want to get into fantasy with these. I'm obsessed with the Templar knights.

**Red Corsair**

I like this much more then traditional Brets, very nice.

**Manchu**

I think the painting is nice but now they are even more strongly reminiscent of historicals rather than fantasy miniatures than colorful Brets.

**SONS of ORAR**

nice. the shading isn't bad at all, personally i'd increase the contrast on the white and give it a wash of devlan mud. Good work so far

**Nalyd**

Awesome work.

**Caboose**

What colors did you use to build up to the white?

**ghosty**

Sex on hooves.

Love it

Just need some fleeing innocents getting run down/tomb kings getting crushed

lol thanks.

The white is dheneb stone, 2:1 of dheneb stone and skull white, 1:1, 1:2 then pure skull white.

I was also thinking about adding weathering to them except I don't really know how I would do that, I want it to be subtle not just 'heres a brown colour, drybrush it'.

**lord marcus**

I'm subscribing. My bret army is based on a nobleman whose brother came back from galivanting around bretonnia with a sizeable force of knights/men at arms and has joined him to crusade and rid the world of twirly mustachio evil guys.

Or at least thats the childs description. More detail can be provided if neccessary.

**shingouki**

i really like the way you have made those look.

**jonolikespie**

So call me crazy but spending $190 on a single regiment is just a bit expensive, instead I'm using bretts and empire greatswords to make questing knights:

so what'd ya think?
