Overused, what they really need is knights armed with herrings.

Female knights could well work. It would mostly depend on how the models looked, which could go either way. I think that the Brets also could do with a big kit - basically, WFB is going towards Mx and Monsters as the selling point, and Bretonnia currently lacks that. Some humungous flying beastie would be logical, but a bit hard to fit into the fluff perhaps.

I just read through the Bretonnia army book the other day, and I love how close they are to medieval knights and chivalry.

But I'm a little concerned. As far as I know they haven't been updated in 9 years? Are they going to be dropped?

I was thinking of proxying them with Orks. Orkish boar knights on a sacred quest or what have you. Naturally I'd write up special rules for them for those players happy to play with such rules, but then just field them either as a very boar boy heavy Ork force or as Bretonnians the rest of the time

Female Knights are distinctly un-Bretonnian, although apparently common enough that once per year a dead knight is found to be a woman tired of living a comfortable live.

As for them being scrapped, i doubt it very much. DE were stuck in 3rd edition for 12 years. A Bretonnian army is still balanced and preforms well even under the current rules.

There's definitely a female Knight in the older Bret books and in some of the Campaign books as a special character.

Indeed there was...

Ah, and there she is sports fans.

Such a typical old GW pose - standing still, holding sword aloft in vaguely dramatic fashion.

Even her horse looks embarrassed at this, as it casts its eyes downward shamefully...

And note: a NORMAL breastplate. Not some form-fitted steel lingerie with an enourmous energy trap in the center right over the heart...
