Title: 28mm Hordes of the Things Bretonnians
Post by: HereWego on 08 March 2013, 05:27:56 AM
Hey Guys,

I have started a new project using my more than ten years old Bretonnians for HotT.

Very nice. I've got an Empire and a Chaos army for HOTT using miniatures from the Battle Masters game. Hopefully I'll get round to painting them this year.  :D

TERRIFIC LOOKING STUFF! The Flowers of Bretonnia never were so LOVELY! Gui le Gros & company are SPLENDIDLY painted & based as are the the Noble Knights. The standards & heraldic freehand are OUTSTANDING. VERY WELL DONE!

sweet pieces indeed! The chubbyness of the brets is quite adeguate to HotT, and the paintjob is superb. Kudos.

Looking good! I like the way you've painted the shields :)

Looking great! What's that figure commanding your Undead?

The Yeoman painted up WONDERFULLY. As with the Knights, their shields & standards are particularly striking. AND the Battle Scene is TERRIFICALLY cinematic. GREAT WORK!

The nice sized bases that go with HotT do afford you an opportunity to make each one a vignette....good to see your doing just that.

Very nice indeed...I'm working up a batch of these myself and this is proper inspiration.  I love your muted palette and the basing is superb.

More please... :-*

Cheers,

Blue

Great painting, I really like the classic bretonnian minis, I also like the very faded colours you are using to paint them (the fleur de lis knight is especially nice).


Very nice painting on some great minis,
 Damien

Thank you all for nice comments. That's the motivation you need to finish a project  :)

It is a figure from a boardgame, but i forgot the name. Something with "Dark"...

I bought that figure on ebay.

Beautiful subtle and controlled freehand. Those checked fer-di-lese are to die for :-* Your palette is subdued, but I think that brings out the details and variety in the models even more!! Especially when they are accented with small turquoise elements!! I love the variation and customisation you bring to your forces. Its very inspiring, especially the Empire helms.

How is the banner done on the errant knight? Is it paper or a plastic banner?
Title: Re: 28mm Hordes of the Things Bretonnians

Thanks  8)

The banner is made of green stuff, primed & painted and glued. In addition I glued some twines.

@ all

more stuff finished. Some of you may know those figs already!

GREAT LOOKING STUFF! I love the Witch; she fits with the Bretonnians perfectly. The Lads & Lady are all VERY WELL DONE!

Great stuff.  I really like the white & soft blue scheme, and how well you've painted it on.

Fantastic!  Can I ask who the guy with the sword in the front of the Infantry stand is?  Great figure.

The Lads & Lady look WONDERFUL...VERY WELL DONE!

HotT seems to require a manageable number of minis for a game. This has a definite appeal for moi. How have you enjoyed the game thus far?

Lovely stuff.  :-* you've definitely raised the game for my own HOTT Warhammer armies. Git.  ;)

Thanks for the info. A Battle Report would be cool, if you don't mind the extra work.
