Boris the Brash's Bretonnians

[wouster7]

Well you could call this a newish army for me. This is the first army I ever brought when I started on the road to Warhammer Fantasy. Yes it has taken me this long to start to finish it (fingers crossed). So I think I brought the Bretonnian book about a year or so after it had been released. Knights have always been a good starting point to the realm of fantasy. So not knowing better I went and spent all my dollars at the local Toy world...

The first major outting with this army will be 'The Guardsman Trophy'. This event is a warm up for the next major tournament which is 'Tin Soldiers 3' in late June. It's a 2250pt WFB Tournament with an unusual Group peer judged, handicapped tier system. So currently going into the 3rd week of competition The Bretonnain Bus company has 2 wins out of 2 against Lizardmen and Tomb Kings.

Boris the Brash:

Boris on his pet Hippogryph is a Bretonnian Knight of little renown. In a state where the smiting of the biggest ugliest thing is the pinnacle of valor. He was going to ride head on with his trust lance and see what he can skewer!




First trophy in the stages of rough modelling. If it's not too obvious it's a Bloodthirster head. Hopefully there will be more heads to join him soon.





Testing what my painting can cope with, heres the first Paladin with a very familiar colour scheme. Of course we have some amorous Damsel to provide a hint of magical defense for the army.




The customary Grail Bus followed by the always useful Air Bus.





Some helpful peasants with the always hilarious Trebuchet.


More to come and C&C very welcome

grand effort

will this army make it on to the friday crowd goes wild smashed him bro after playing bill vamps on sunday

Very nice! I'm always amazed at how quickly some of you can paint, where it takes me ages just to turn out a few...

My only suggestion Phil would be to get some washes into these bad boys. A brown for the gold, a watered black for the silvers, watered sepia for the bone/talons. Just adds a little more depth ^_^

@Rich

I found out how it feels to ride soft scores with this army. I is taking the SS from CSS

@Mike

I'm just trying to splash as much paint on the models as quickly as possible. Once I have the rudimentary colours down I'm gonna need alot of help on what washes and stuff to add. Yourself and Josh best be patient with the amateur painter throwiing questions at ya.

Bah. Humbug.  (like to see you try and get my LoC head on there as well  )

After looking a couple of times I think they'd be ideally suited to some "dipping" - and would out-do Josh's latest (see his blog) with doing so...

He can't put your LoC's head on there, it keeps exploding itself. Ot it falls to peasant bowfire before anyone can lay a sword on it

@Philfy

Don't you worry there chap, Boris is lining up ya big bird as soon as you get outta your self enforced art break Currently I'm trying to figure out how to put a Stegadon head and Steam tank bits on the base.

[richardbarby]

can you killing blow a stank or are you planing to take all 10 wounds off it

[wouster7]

@Rich,

Already have killed the Stank. Nothing goes on that base unless it's been 'Boris Bashed'. Yup you can killing blow a Stank

[richardbarby]

smashed him bro from the crowd goes wild will be in touch with boris about getting his own slot

[wouster7]

Guardsman Trophy nabbed by 'Boris', with Stegadon, Slann, Steam Tank and Giant bagged for the trophy cabinet. There was a fleeting moment when a Zombie Dragon was on the offering but he wasn't up to the challenge. Will have to be another battle before a Dragons head is got for the trophy base.

Found some GW washes and they are the bomb! They really do bring out your painting. Whoever invented 'Gryphonne Sepia' and 'Asurmen Blue' should be knighted.
