Awesome Trebs. 2 more? What are you trying to do? Treb spamming?

My gamig group are all building up 5k armies together. Therefore i feel required to take the maximum 4 trebs. Also means this thread will be very long.

Finished this guy up a couple days ago.



I've started posting Battle Reports with this army if anyone in interested in seeing it in action.

Next one is up.

Awesome. Love that color combo.

Here is the next one. Not the greatest picture in the world but I think the model came out alright.

Knights looking good there. Are you going to do the bases later?

Great start to an army here! I think I like the Brets sans crazy helmet figureheads Have you thought about adding some additional heraldry besides vertically and horizontally divided? How about checks or chevrons? It all looks a bit too standard currently, imho.

Keep up the good work!

I am planning on adding static grass later if that is your question. Its just a little easier to do in a very large group then 1 knight at a time.

Thanks! I am planning on doing different schemes based on unit type. I was thinking of doing vertically/horizontally halved for Knight of the Realm, quartered for Questing Knights and checkers for Grail Knights.

They all have the same scheme atm because I've only painted Knight of the realm.

I really like how the blue turned out on this one.

Standard Bearer is done.

The new stuff is looking really good, but my favourite of them is the blue and green one!

Here is a Prophetess I modified out of a Dark Elf Dark Pegasus and the old Fay Enchantress model. Any recommendations on how I should paint the model? I'm thinking a blue dress with a second attempt at a white unicorn.

I think as long as the unicorn is white, all is good.

She is pretty much done. I think I am going to redo/go over the face again. Opinions?

Did you use a gloss on her? She looks rather glossy?

Yes she has a gloss but so do all the other painted models that I have put up.

Not liking it?

I don't use gloss varnish so I haven't seen a model that shiny before :-). The model looks good.

This is the product that I use on all of my minis.

It smells to high heaven for the first few hours but afterwards it gives the effects you may notice in this thread.

Sub'd this army is looking good and its the first time i have ever a bret's blog on dakka.

I'm not sold on the glossy gloss, and I'd like to see more shadows/shading on the horses and banners.

But that's me nitpicking, I'm just happy to see another Bret plog on Dakka.

Keep up the great work! (Suuuuuuuuuuuuuub-SCRIBED!)

Liking the Knights so far, especially in big units. How long do they take you to do?

The enchantress is a nice clean paintjob, but I would have gone for softer colour combinations, I think.

Each knight takes about 3 or 4 hours including drying time, or 4 episodes of DS9 by my reckoning.

Some take more or less depending on the colors used; specifically yellow and white take forever to get right whereas black, blue and green are pretty straightforward.

Painting has been going slowly due to school becoming more demanding as finals approach.

Here is the Bretonnian Lord I just finished converting. I am up in there air as to how to paint him and feedback would be appreciated. Right now I am thinking of doing him in the same scheme as the banners in the army, blue with white trim, or the color scheme for him on the website of yellow with red trim but I am open to suggestions. I'd prefer not to paint him Green as he will end up looking too much like the Green Knight model, which I am planning on painting up in to near future.

I'm probably going to start putting paint on this guy this week so suggestions are welcome.

The Lord can be any color scheme really. I prefer white and red but it is your call.

I'm thinking blue with white trim and paint the dragon images red.

I took a trip down memory lane and painted up a knight in the color scheme army was painted before they were destroyed by the game store kid.

Looking awesome, not to be a downer but isn't there something bad about green in bretionnia?

I'm not certain what you mean. Could you elaborate?

Not bad, per-se, but Brets mix French and English history, a combination of Charlemagne and Camelot. In this case, there is "The Green Knight", which is a Bret Special Character, with ties to nature/druids, etc.

You have some really nice looking knights there and the trebuchet is really awsome. You get a big Kep up the nice work. Oh the lord on the green knight's horse looks really cool too.
