I am unbelievably happy with this unit! Both the Grail Knights and the Questing Knight models were very special to me so I really wanted to put some extra time into them. Questing Knights come together to seek out the Blessing of the Lady in order to become Grail Knights so they're already a bit more elite than an average knight. I hope this week of videos has inspired you if you're interested
in painting your own Kingdom of Bretonnian army, or even just as a week of fun videos to watch as the unit slowly but surely came together. If you have suggestions for other types of projects you'd like to do take place over a week, let me know! And yes there is a battle report coming with this Questing Knights unit very soon!
We don't have access to full editing this week but please ask any questions about paints etc and we’ll answer everything!
Basing scheme:
AK Terrain Dark Earth texture paste
Ryza Rust (dry) brush
Screaming Skull (layer) dry brush
I add flock/tuffs once the unit is complete!

Back in 98 or so the painting style in most magazines and box art is so basic compared to today's standard. Its crazy seeing the hobby evolve with how good people are and how much detail has been achieved. I was blown away in 08 when I first seen NMM on a Confrontaion box art and rule book. The hobby has went from basic base coats as being fully finished to actual small works of art in 20 years
Paints available now and UA-cam are why
That is a very true statement. It’s not crazy what people can do.
An idea of extra Bretonian content: some scenery (joust field, knight tent, mystical lake…), unit fillers, thematic army carrying case
You are on to one of my plans more then you think.
Nice love you're videos, now show us the whole army together.
I’ve shown it off on my Patreon quite a bit but there’s a battle report being filmed tomorrow!
Andy, if you could do a video on brush control and maintenance fir a newbie painter it would be amazing!
I can do that.
Looking at them altogether I think the fact that they are all quartered schemes also adds to the cohesive unit look mate
Yeah that's a great point!
Honestly I did not think it would look good but I am so shocked at how beautiful it turned out that I think I’ll have to do one dedicated to your channel once I finally start my Bretonnian army
Hahahaa I was worried to don’t worry. But I am happy with how its looks and yes feel free to add one in.
I have just bought 12 questing knights - watching this makes me feel much better about painting them , thanks
So happy to hear that pal.
Turned out awesome, my man 👍🏻 my favorite is the dude in black and red with the axe
He did turn out well.
As always a great video 🙂 i think it'd be really interesting to see some army shots of everything youve now got painted for your Bretonnians to see how the army has grown in advance of the WHW event 🙂
I will do a big army shot at some time soon. Need to finish a few more units.
Man, that blue and orange is fantastic. I may make that my lords colors. Really sweet! Crushed it as always sir!
That would be so cool. Glad you like it.
Great series, reminded me of your "horus heresy made easy" High elves are good way to continue. Best Knight? Black & Orange with White & Purple a close second.
You sir have good taste.
I'll be using this scheme for my own Bretonnia army. You are the man!
Love to hear that, glad you like it!
Fantastic, and they look so good all together. I love your theme weeks, and your Old World content is (for me) the highlight of your channel. Hope you're going to show how you would paint more Old World Orcs in your style using Duncan's paint. Keep up the great work!
Yes more orc content is coming for sure! Need a get a quicker scheme for the infantry dudes first!
They look so good! Love the blue and orange ⚔️
Thanks man!
I'd LOVE to see a mounted yeomen/ mounted squires unit done in this manner!
You will there planned for a video soon
“Nope, not doing blue and orange”.
“I’m painting this one blue and orange”.
Can’t say you don’t listen to your audience 😂. In the end he’s turned out brilliantly, the darker blue looks great. Good luck at WW, I can’t think of a better reason to take an army to an event than that your proud of them and want to show them off (that’s how I ended up placing last in the only tournament I attended, with a Dogs of War army).
Haha glad to hear.
Cheers Andy! Cracking series and look forward to more series in the future!
Glad to hear.
Amazing work,
You should consider checking out Hayland wargame terrain, they have an entire collection of monthy python and the holy grail miniatures. Imagine doing this again, but with monthy python and their squires holding the coconuts 😂
Oh I need This in my life.
I love the bretonnian content, your videos are some of my favorite bretonnian painting videos on UA-cam. Selfishly, I'd love to see the peasant painting tutorials you've mentioned, more characters, etc. but im a die hard bretonnian so dont let me lead you away from the content you want to make. Just putting it out there 😉
I will be doing and man at arms video for you don’t worry pal. I promise.
I liked this one a lot - I also have a blue and orange Questing Knight (Sir Blippi) but I have only used contrast so far so this really helps me on what to layer and highlight with!
Oh that worked out great then! Glad it was helpful!
Absolutely fantastic
Cheers.
Stunning looking Unit! I like these 5 daily video blocks has got to be taxing some days, but results are phenomenal.
They can be but the results keep me motivated. Like I’m exhausted now but am so happy with the finished unit.
They look amazing you have done a fantastic job.
Cheers pal
Thanks for this cool journey! Looking forward to the next
Glad you enjoyed it!
Gorgeous work dude!! Been a great week of content
Glad you enjoyed it pal.
An amazing unit for sure.
Thanks so much, love the user name :D
Ogre Maneater week :)
Each one can be uniquely painted like the knights.
There are some really cool 3D printed designs too.
I have all of them and really want to do that week so bad.
Awesome series! Favorite color is the white and red questing knight.
He did turn out well.
very cool minis and painting schemes...all of these knights would be amazing in a DnD game ....
Hahah yes they would.
Absolutely fantastic!
Glad you think so!
@@MediocreHobbies I’m currently building up my Bretonnian army from the box set. I don’t have any Questing Knights or Grail Knights yet but watching both your series of videos on them really makes me want to get some and paint them up!
Looks Fantastic!
Thanks so much!
Nice! Looking good as always!
Thank you! Cheers!
That's a very nice looking Champion! Watching these vids made me pick up some Bretonnians to go with my High Elves and Tomb Kings; got my Knights of the Realm in box ready to be assembled. The BSB on Pegasus donor showed up so the Hippogryph project will be started up tomorrow if all goes well! Also using the BSB bits on an extra Knight of the Realm I picked up (second hand) to make a BSB Paladin; just need to figure out how I want to do the arm... the part kinda... jumped away after detachment so I might just pin the hand to the torso and sculpt the arm around the metal rod.
Love idea and not wanting the banner. Great stuff.
Hell ya Andy, glad to finally see it. I told you it would look awesome. Now I gotta see the mediocre marine come to life!
I know I know.
Great looking unit
Cheers
Another great week Andy, a superb looking unit. Looking forward to seeing all the knight units on the table. Really like the yellow/blue scheme.
Chers Pal. Glad you liked it.
Have really loved watching this questing knight week, the chosen colour schemes have been great!
I personally would love to see how you would paint up the new night lord and mandrake kill teams as i managed to get my hands on a pre order😁
Night Lord one is live now and the mandrake one will be out next week 😊 glad you’re enjoying the videos!
@@MediocreHobbies I've seen it and love the work you did with the 2 things coats range! Might have to treat myself to the blue triad and give it a go!
Nailed it Andy, absolutely top notch. Orange and Blue scheme looks the business! Serious progress on the whole Bretonnian project. Look forward to seeing the Trebuchet and the others, with the suggestion of a Grail Pilgrim and the Reliquary. Keep up the awesome work!
Oh the grail reliquary will be done 100%
Fantastic work as always! Really enjoyed the series and a (robot) Knight series would be grand - as would a ‘General’ Series for several factions perhaps.
Hope we grt another tournament report style video after April’s event for thos of use that didn’t scote tickets!
Oh you will for sure get a report video after the tournament and hopefully I will have a trophy on my table lol.
Good Luck!
Kinda random, maybe too much, but I think you could do a Troll Horde in a week. They’re pretty simple models, look good with a simple paint scheme. I think you could do a list with a unit of common trolls, a unit of river trolls, a unit of stone trolls and maybe a giant and a Saturday character (maybe the new named character). You’ve already got the hag.
Some trolls would be cool.
Warriors of chaos week 😅
Need some inspiration for tackling a hellcannon, its seriously intimidating
Hahaha I need to get a hellcannon first lol.
I want to see a unit of Exhiles. Paint them pretty and black out their heraldry. I’m too scared to do it on mine
A unit of what?
@@MediocreHobbies in the arcane journal there’s talk of knights that were exiled and now deface their own heraldry. From what I can gather it looks like some even roughly black it out. I’m too scared to ruin any of mine and won’t commit to a full exhiled army anyway. Would love to see a bad boy errant forced to conceal his heraldry until a specific quest was done
I want to start by saying that I absolutely loved this week's theme, as I am a huge fan of Bretonnia.
Here is my ranking of your color tames on your Grail Knight/Questing Knight:
red/blue Grail Knight
orange/black Grail Knight/Questing Knight
blue/orange Questing Knight
purple/white Grail Knight
yellow/black Questing Knight
yellow/black Grail Knight
pink/white Questing Knight
red/white Questing Knight
yellow/blue Questing Knight
black/white Grail Knight.
But they all look absolutely amazing. Really looking forward to your next Bretonnia videos.
Ah thank you so much for talking the time. Love your list.
Loving the use of the L'Anguille serpent on your champion. In the whole of the old Bretonnian army book the only model I could see that had that icon was the Questing Bannerman. Really annoying when you're looking for inspiration 😅
I forgot to say on your last video, or one before that, but in response to the person who suggested making a unit using Realm Knight torsos and foot Knights, I did that in my old army, but combined the empire templar knights great weapon arms with a Knight of the Realm. The hardest part was finding the bits to make up his gear.
Ye the gear is a big deal for me. It makes the whole unit.
@@MediocreHobbies yup it's a really nice unique unit quirk.
You're moving on from Bretonnia before you do one of the best minis GW has ever made? The Grail Reliquae is so cool!
Oh I’m not moving on at all 😄 I plan to grow this army as much as possible!
Brilliant video as always Andy, thanks so much for another inspiring paint job. Um, that said, you do realize that at some point, someone on the other side of the table is going to point at your hero and say, "So, that's the Mediocre Knight, right?"
Hahhaa of course. I’m ok with that.
Great job! I love these types of series!!
Glad to hear I enjoy making them.
These are fantastic! A great week of videos. The knights look amazing! Looking forward to some more Middle-Earth content
Same can’t wait to get back at it.
i just wanna see a full army line up now :P
Oh you will. A bit more to see first. My Patreons got a look a few weeks back.
@@MediocreHobbies oh i cant wait! il continue enjoying the content you put out :)
IRN BRU knight! 😍
😂😂 damn it
@@MediocreHobbies nothing wrong with they sir! It’s a staple!
I like this scheme a lot but I think the orange and black scheme is still the best one overall.
The knight series you mentioned would be cool to see at some point.
Did you get the nightlord mandrake set from GW? As seeing some of them would be cool.
Whatever you do next I’m sure as always it will be anything but mediocre, keep up the good work Andy.
Ye i think the orange and black is my favorite as well. And I did indeed receive that set and will be doing them this week.
3 mate, not 4 as one of them was released ;) Unfortunately I don't know any good prices at the moment. I think at least 2 of the 3 will stay like that or grow higher. Fingers crossed GW starts casting them.
Let’s hope.
I didn’t know Element games stocked two thin coats, thanks for the heads up! How are their metallics? I’ve found citadels to either be really good or really bad lol
They do indeed. They stock everything lol.
Hey Andy, For those of us who have commitments during your streams, is there an option of saving them and uploading them here?
UA-cam no but I believe you can go back on twitch and watch them.
High Elves!
There’s more coming for sure for them!
Still like the orange grail knight the best
Yeah he’s pretty cool!
Ha. This has the same colors as my mom’s favorite collage football team. War Eagle.
Hahaha love it.
What about the grass sculpted on the hoof.
Bet he will cover it with tufts. I do the same :D
I just ignore it lol.
What about old horse standard bearer? One of the best miniatures ever 😍🤗
I have him and am using him for my banner for my second unit of grail knight. No way I won’t be using that model.
@@MediocreHobbies can you show him?🤗
Loved the videos so far. Found them through starting my own bretonnian army which i am currently working through building.
Quick question, which primer would you recommend and brand? Thank you
I’ve tried a few and usually end up sticking to the one I know best, citadel chaos black and grey seer. Others I’ve tried have been okay but I find using a product I really know well works better for me than testing out ones that could be better but only if I change how I use them. Hope that makes sense?
@@MediocreHobbies yeah makes total sense. So im assuming you do the zenethal method with these two?
Thanks for the reply!
@@andrewharris6879 Yes, here's how i do it!ua-cam.com/users/shorts51Hx1uTmtSw?si=vVOnkpfUwi0wC2hZ
@@MediocreHobbies ah brilliant mate. Thank you very much for your answers and patience. Keep up the great work.
Just going to ask this here because i couldn't find the answers going through you previous videos -
Firstly, can you explain your process for undercoating your models? It looks lighter than a traditional zentihal highlight undercoat?
And secondly, i wondered while watching this video, your all over nuln oil shade stage, do you use neat nuln oil? Or do you thin it at all? If you thin it, what sort of ratio do you work to?
Thanks for taking the time to read this 🙂
It’s chaos black and then a heavy zenithal of grey seer. And it is indeed straight nuln oil. Big the new 18ml pot.
@@MediocreHobbies Cheers for that mate 🙂
Unit looks great. The Bret’s look great. Now let’s see something a bit more sinister! Dark Elves!? 😅
Hahhahahha
Please do spme Brettonian terrain.
The lore video stuff isnt as entertaining imo.
I have big plans for this.
@@MediocreHobbies oh awesomeness! Can't wait :)
