5th Edition Bretonnians where my army - never enjoyed fielding or painting anything else half as much. Thank you for sparking some now very old and very fond memories! What a superb force.
Your army is the army I wish I had, I would stare at them for hours in the magazines or in the shop. Brightly coloured knights on display just brings such joy to a man.
Awwww heck yeah! I've been painting up my classic High Elves Army, keeping the original minis & painting up ones I've found on sprues. I started with 6th edition fantasy in 2003. I never stopped painting minis since then. It's been a trip looking through my old army books. Fantastic video!!!
@@isamotahar2708 I'm of a mixed mindset around it - and like it as a concept. All the peasantry scum, single colour under their Duke. But then things like Grail Knights should have their own colouring and heraldry. Same for Paladins. At least that's what I'm going to do. Not 100% certain on Knights of the Realm yet. I like the idea of it looking like a unified army, while having unique heroes and lords.
@@Patrick-y4d1z The joy of the hobby is each person can do their army in the colour they like. I totally agree a block of peasants and archers shpuld be in one lords colours, his levy. I just love the old 50's movies, each knight in his own heraldry. It's not a block army, it is men fighting for honour, and the oath they have teken. It speaks of a time long passed. I just feel the heart of the army has been lost with the one colour scheme army.
8:30 Color on color. You need color on metal. If you want a blue and red field, you need a pale of one of the heraldic metals between them. Sometimes a sufficiently large charge in a heraldic metal, such as the argent pegasus, can do in a pinch, though.
Great video. Congrats on your Bret army. In the 1990s when I started Warhammer Fantasy I bought a Bret army for my daughter who was interested at the time, but that interest waned. So it went into storage. Thankfully I didn't sell it. About 10 years ago I painted it up and played 7th and 8th edition with it right up until today. I went a different route with my Grailies. They are all white and gold, not multi-coloured like my knights so they really stand out. It is wonderful to see so many painting videos like yours due to Old World.
That sounds pretty cool! I remember having a moment while painting the grail knight standard bearer where it was primed white but the horse and armour had been painted and it was like pure white heraldry and it looked pretty awesome
Eric. Fantastic! I am in my early thirties and loved the Bretonnians when I was a teenager. I just opened The Old World Bretonnian Starter box like 10 minutes before I saw this video. It just arrived today. Like you, it is like a childhood dream coming true. I couldn't afford the "Regiment" boxes back then. Now that I have the Bretonnian starter box, I am not throwing it out. I get a second chance on owning my first "Regiment" box. Man! So exciting. Thanks for posting this video today. It made the experience all the better. Good luck on your knightly quests.
Escalifont is an excellent name. I also always name my characters with something in mind, usually something only I know, but it adds immersion to your force.
Huzzah,, thank you for sharing your journey. You are the Champion of Britonnia as far as I and maybe others are concerned. I know of no other channel that has dedicated more content than yours (*). Bless you Eric and may you continue your quest. And maybe take us along I live vicariously through you, so thank you again. ( * I'm not a big UA-cam channel explorer though.)
Ah man, your commentary at the end really warmed my heart. I had a very similar experience. In mid 1995 my friends got into 40k as we started secondary school. I went into the local store and picked up the brochure - it was the one with the Imperator Titan on the front. I did *like* the 40k stuff, but in the main I'd gone in because of peer pressure. But what I fell in love with was the spread of Warhammer Fantasy stuff: the page was dominated by the artwork of Eltharion vs Grom. It was so beautiful and powerful and vivid (I grew up in Basingstoke so wasn't used to any of those things). I got into WFB at that moment, though I didn't get my first models until Christmas 95. I didn't play a game for the first eight months or so of being in the hobby, until some others at school took an interest in WFB. But in that time I just soaked in the lore and the art and the models. Warhammer Fantasy/The Old World/whatever was and always will be my truest hobby love!
8:47 OH!!! SEEING THOSE BRING BACK SUCH UFF! those are so nostalgic! I need those in my life! those old blisters where so amazing! because you could buy one beautiful tin miniature that was affortable as a kid and not like these 50-100 euro packs.
I love this so much. As someone who also got into the hobby around 2000 and got back in about 20 years later I relate hard to the satisfaction of finishing your childhood dream army
This is my favourite video of yours by far. As a kid I didn't have a lot of money, and I didn't really play the game, but I always loved the look of those old Bretonnian models and I would fantasise about collecting them. I think I had one or two of the cheap boxes that came with 8 plastic longbowmen or 2 knights of the realm, and I had so much fun painting them (I did a very poor job, but they were mine!). I hope to see more Bretonnian content from you! Oh, and the pegasus is incorrectly mirrored! On one side it's passant or trippant, on the other it is sinister!
Had the old box set and loved both the Brettoniand and lizard men. Makes me happy to see someone still passionate about them and seeing the kits still in use on the table and enjoyed.
12:47 - I still have that one, in perfect condition. My first visit to that fascinating little shop selling that obscure hobby. The impact it had on my childhood can not be overstated.
I'm hoping they release a new Empire Army soon bc that's the one I'm interested in and I had no idea what Warhammer was when they canceled Old World, I was 7, so I appreciate them bringing it back.
I love your videos not only because of the hobby, but mainly because they are very relaxing and allow me to feel the atmosphere. And congrats on finishing the army!🎉
I know I say it all the time, but I love this channel. Hands-down my favorite 40k channel out there. It really encompasses everything that goes into warhammer, painting, converting, making terrain, army planning, big dream projects and now battle reports. What I like most is that you finish so many of your projects and have big fun collections of models, armies and terrain to play with. Thanks for all the great videos brother
I'm in the same boat. Played and never stopped collecting Bretonnia. After all these years my dream army is on the table again with a new edition and I cannot be happier!
This one just came across my feed. Figures. I can tell you're excited; that Army looks great, man. Oldhammer, I did Chaos Knights. Sigmar, Soulblight Gravelords. I've not started Old World yet, but Bretonnia is calling!
Always kept my Bretonnians ... even from my first as a kid in the later '80s. Always used foundry and others when needed, as Perry's and other companies. Glad to see others have too .. cheers.. great job 👍👍
Hey Eric if your into knights and like to read I highly recommend The Red Knight series by Miles Austin (Canadian). He’s the one that got me wishing I could have build my own “Lance” with the Bretonians
So glad that people are excited about this game. I'm hoping it's a long-term success, and GW supports it. BTW that damsel on foot is one of the most classic models citadel ever produced.
6:45 What is that music?! Its stuck in my head and i love it. Also, i was so pleased to see Bretonnians return, i bought the starter box. I collected some Empire back in the day!
dude i got into the WH universe for real only last year. you were one of the first channels i came across to watch about 40k, and now even your voice is nostalgic to me for that very fantastic time of being brand new to it all.
I had the same thing, but with Mordheim. I remember when the game came out and poured over all the promotional material and the Town Crier inserts that ran in White Dwarf. I never knew anyone who wanted to play it and I damn well couldn't afford it at the time. It just got relegated to being a pipe dream to play. 20 years later, my local gaming club in Edinburgh ran a campaign and I finally managed to cobble togeather a Witch Hunter warband (Using tips from this very illustrious and excellent channel!) which have proven, for me at least, to be the best model's I've ever painted. I think this is what I love most about this channel, the quiet enthusiasm to try all the cool ideas we dreamed about when first starting the hobby. Thank you Eric for these epic vidoes.
I started gathering my own Bretonnians some time ago, and recently acquired a second batallion! Thanks to you, I am more inspired than ever to get into painting my knights. I can't wait to see my army march for the glory of the lady! You're the royarch we always needed, Eric :)
Great video! I remember fielding my Empire army at a tournament when it was first completed - it’s a great feeling. So congratulations to your Brettonia army! And thanks for a very nice video that takes be back to my early days of the hobby in the 90’s. Long live the Old World!
Eric that pamphlet unlocked a core memory of mine. I was obsessed with that image. I took it everywhere with me as a kid. And now that I’m an adult with a budget I’m finally make to collect and paint my dream army the lizardmen. Your channels amazing keep up the good work
Awesome work as always. I really hope you're still working on the titan, can't wait to see how that turns out as well. You are one of my biggest art model inspirations. Keep up the great work.
1:40 that row of knights was my big wish to make as a child. but I couldn't paint very well so they didn't look amazing at all. also my collor knowledge was a bit off. but man that knight battalion is so sexy!
Living the dream, very inspirational... about to embark upon a similar, nostalgic journey!! Look forward to more content around Bretonnia and the Old World!
I didn't grow up on Warrhammer, but they did bring me back to the 90's play with the classic Lego Castle sets. My first army I made to practice with One Page Rules was Lego Knights and I so want to make my own knightly army. Thanks for all the Bretonnian videos!
Excellent video mate, really appreciated the soft nostalgic outro. Reminded me of wandering into a GW for the first time in 2006, what a blast from the past
Looks great! I know for Necromunda and Blood Bowl using silly or pun filled names is a great thing to do and often a fun way to attach a visual + narrative theme to your minis.
Your army looks fantastic, and it's glorious to see Bretonnia getting another lease of life. I've so enjoyed getting my knights out of retirement and back to the battlefield where they belong. For the Lady!
I really love the grail knight conversion. Replacing the standard with a lance was a "why didnt I think of that" idea. Great video! Your army is beautifully done!
Mini Wargaming Bunker is awesome. My parents live in Welland. I stop by every time I go to visit them. Hope you had a great time. I also share your love of the puns in the names of your units. I use puns in my creative work, too. For my joy, if nobody else's.
Jeez they look absolutely epic - Like yourself, back in the very late 90s or early 00s I was attracted to Warhammer purely by the photos of Bretonnian Armies I saw in my sisters boyfriends White Dwarf mags (and including that same magazine you showed in the video, got it upstairs still!)
I am inspired. Old Bretonnia models are dusted off and ready to be finished. Thanks Eric for another truly inspirational hobby vid. You are also to blame for my Black Templar army 😝
great work on everything! One thing I really like is the balance of uniformity and individualism where it counts, the way stuff like the spear or lance shafts all being black or wood and the leather details painted, well, just leather helps to cut back on the overall detail clutter and enhances the heraldry and colors of the knights! One of my problems is that I usually don't paint whole units at a time so every model I pick up kind of gets their own blend of colors and they look individually fine but all together it's an explosion in a paint factory
As you said, the lances, leather, fleshtones, armor and bases are usually painted the same. But i also try to use the same hues of blue, green, red , yellow etc across the whole army. There are exceptions but for the most part it helps the overall appearance
Ive loved this project. Its made it even more diffcult to choose between Bret and TK than it already was. I have to admit, the 6th edition army books are something special to me. Those are the look and feel i always associate with WFB. Those and Warhammer Age of Reckoning
I love this army. I started to build armies for Warhammer long ago in the late 90's as I was finishing college. And I sold it all off. Watching UA-camrs like yourself build all these old armies from back then is giving me the bug. But without a decent start on an army I fear it's just too much for my budget right now. And quite honestly I'm already pretty heavily invested in several games that I can't get local players for. Beautiful work. And thanks for the nostalgia.
Fantastic video my friend! I have always dreamed of having a Bretonnian army. Back when I got into fantasy I wanted Bretonnian’s but the range was quite limited and the rule set was old so instead I went with the new shine empire models. But now with the old world my chance to collect the noble Knights of Bretonnia has come forth once more! For the lady!
The kit-bashed Duke on Louen's hippogriff looks epic. I have that model, Louen included. It's a lovely piece, but Louen doesn't have as much vintage charm as the monster does. I might have to kit-bash a rider as well! Such awesome work.
Your videos have been slowly convincing me to try out old world. The passion and drive you had for this hobby is really inspiring ill wait on it until the Empire gets released. Thank you for the great videos and content GLORY TO SIGMAR AND THE LADY
Great video and what an incredible journey you actually inspired me to pull out my old 5th edition brits i've been painting through those old monopose archers with Bertrand, alongside Hugo le Petit and Gui le Gros I love your heraldry really awesome work!
Yes sirrrr I just ordered my Green Knight to start my Bretonnia army! Every month im going to get 1 new unit. I played 40k but Total Warhammer 3 has made me love fantasy more than 40k and Bretonnia is my main!
Your love for the classic Bretonnia made relive the good ol’ days of Warhammer Fantasy in my flgs. Plus, somehow I have a rekindled interest in old high fantasy. Which made me back the Half Tilt kickstarter by TT Combat. Have you heard of it? The KS ends soon, but I think you might like it.
Exquisite 🙂 I absolutely love this, Eric. Congratulations on this lifelong achievement! You've got a new subscriber on Erics Hobby Battle Reports. #bobsnbangs
Nice video. The spacer style insert trays are very useful for getting your old armies on the table quickly, not so handy if you have to change formation mid game.
2:28 I saw miniatures completely made in the style of Monty Python. Such a detailed army deserves to be presented in the Museum of Glory or printed in a booklet as an example for the following modelers.
The pegasus trippant is contourny.
Does that mean "the wrong way around"? if so I was right. But you said it in a fancier way :)
@@alfadasfire, yes, normally an animal charge will face to the right, or Dexter side, of shield. The dexter side is considered the honorable side, as opposed to the left side, or sinister side. And left and right is the wearers left and right, not the viewer, just as with radiologic imaging.
Flying hores-y on flag facing wrong way
And here I thought it was that you were not suppose to have Azur and Gul together on the same heraldry.

few things give me more satisfaction than seeing someone tear open old mini blisters, and imagining the gnashing of teeth of the hoarders.
What good is a mini in a blister pack?
Good for storage, but that's it, unless you're saving it for when you think you're good enough to paint them@@Spark_Chaser
Hahaha that is some vivid imagery.
"Models are meant to be built and enjoyed."
Exactly!
5th Edition Bretonnians where my army - never enjoyed fielding or painting anything else half as much. Thank you for sparking some now very old and very fond memories! What a superb force.
‘It’s just garbage: miniatures are meant to be built, and enjoyed.’
Amen.
Babe wake up, Eric’s uploaded
New Eric channel just dropped!
“Is it the titan?”
“… no.”
*goes back to sleep*
Having all those units just in black and red is criminal
Straight to jail
Your army is the army I wish I had, I would stare at them for hours in the magazines or in the shop. Brightly coloured knights on display just brings such joy to a man.
Also glad to see the old blisterpacks opened. I agree, they are meant to be build, painted and enjoyed.. Played with!
I t’d someone off by having a blister pack model painted and in my army once. Was funny trying hear their excuses for hoarding
Awwww heck yeah! I've been painting up my classic High Elves Army, keeping the original minis & painting up ones I've found on sprues. I started with 6th edition fantasy in 2003. I never stopped painting minis since then. It's been a trip looking through my old army books. Fantastic video!!!
Niiiice! Love high elves too. I want to make a trireme for em like the old army books
They’re so lovely, and I completely agree with the missed opportunity of GW’s paint job
the smell when opening the old blisters take me back to the good old times 😉
Love the army, traditional bright, individual knights.
Yeah I don’t like the new uniform style. Individual Knights look way better
@isamotahar2708 exactly, if you want uniform knights, buy Empire. If you want the joy of the knights of the round or ivanhoe Bretonian
@@isamotahar2708
I'm of a mixed mindset around it - and like it as a concept.
All the peasantry scum, single colour under their Duke.
But then things like Grail Knights should have their own colouring and heraldry. Same for Paladins. At least that's what I'm going to do.
Not 100% certain on Knights of the Realm yet. I like the idea of it looking like a unified army, while having unique heroes and lords.
@@Bearsofthelaw Exactly.
@@Patrick-y4d1z The joy of the hobby is each person can do their army in the colour they like. I totally agree a block of peasants and archers shpuld be in one lords colours, his levy.

Love to see a classic collection like this continue to grow and be used!
Great looking army! It was excellent to meet you at the tournament as well!
Such a fine video 😀 I love it when you refurbish older models 🙂
great work on everything! One thing I really like is the balance of uniformity and individualism where it counts, the way stuff like the spear or lance shafts all being black or wood and the leather details painted, well, just leather helps to cut back on the overall detail clutter and enhances the heraldry and colors of the knights! One of my problems is that I usually don't paint whole units at a time so every model I pick up kind of gets their own blend of colors and they look individually fine but all together it's an explosion in a paint factory
As you said, the lances, leather, fleshtones, armor and bases are usually painted the same. But i also try to use the same hues of blue, green, red , yellow etc across the whole army. There are exceptions but for the most part it helps the overall appearance
Iv always wanted to start this army and now I finally can and I’m so happy. Your looks amazing
Gorgeous paint jobs Eric! I always look forward to your videos.
Ive loved this project. Its made it even more diffcult to choose between Bret and TK than it already was.
I have to admit, the 6th edition army books are something special to me. Those are the look and feel i always associate with WFB. Those and Warhammer Age of Reckoning
I have a tomb kings video coming soon too 👀
Pictures like the centerfold are as warhammer as it can get. Loved the vibrant pictures so much when I was younger (still do)
I love this army. I started to build armies for Warhammer long ago in the late 90's as I was finishing college. And I sold it all off. Watching UA-camrs like yourself build all these old armies from back then is giving me the bug. But without a decent start on an army I fear it's just too much for my budget right now. And quite honestly I'm already pretty heavily invested in several games that I can't get local players for. Beautiful work. And thanks for the nostalgia.
Fantastic video my friend! I have always dreamed of having a Bretonnian army. Back when I got into fantasy I wanted Bretonnian’s but the range was quite limited and the rule set was old so instead I went with the new shine empire models.
But now with the old world my chance to collect the noble Knights of Bretonnia has come forth once more! For the lady!
The kit-bashed Duke on Louen's hippogriff looks epic. I have that model, Louen included. It's a lovely piece, but Louen doesn't have as much vintage charm as the monster does. I might have to kit-bash a rider as well!
Such awesome work.
What a beautiful vídeo, right on the feels, I was a 2000 child too dreaming a perfect painted army...
Lovely army, Eric. I hope it brings you 20 years of joy after your 20-year wait.
I miss this kind of Warhammer. The old armies are amazing.
I hope you gonna have a lot of fun with these knights. They look great!
this all looks phenomenal Eric - congrats on getting everything all painted up
Your videos have been slowly convincing me to try out old world. The passion and drive you had for this hobby is really inspiring ill wait on it until the Empire gets released. Thank you for the great videos and content GLORY TO SIGMAR AND THE LADY
Great job Eric! Keep it up my brother in The Lady!
Great video and what an incredible journey you actually inspired me to pull out my old 5th edition brits i've been painting through those old monopose archers with Bertrand, alongside Hugo le Petit and Gui le Gros I love your heraldry really awesome work!
Crazy free hand on the great banner bearer 👏👏
Yes sirrrr I just ordered my Green Knight to start my Bretonnia army! Every month im going to get 1 new unit.
I played 40k but Total Warhammer 3 has made me love fantasy more than 40k and Bretonnia is my main!
Your love for the classic Bretonnia made relive the good ol’ days of Warhammer Fantasy in my flgs. Plus, somehow I have a rekindled interest in old high fantasy. Which made me back the Half Tilt kickstarter by TT Combat. Have you heard of it? The KS ends soon, but I think you might like it.
Exquisite 🙂 I absolutely love this, Eric. Congratulations on this lifelong achievement! You've got a new subscriber on Erics Hobby Battle Reports. #bobsnbangs
Awesome, thank you! Welcome to the inner circle of early EHBR subscribers
So much love for this, great stuff dude.
Nice video. The spacer style insert trays are very useful for getting your old armies on the table quickly, not so handy if you have to change formation mid game.
Excellent taste in minis. Foundry is amazing.
Love these Old World content videos! Keep em coming man!
2:28 I saw miniatures completely made in the style of Monty Python. Such a detailed army deserves to be presented in the Museum of Glory or printed in a booklet as an example for the following modelers.
The 'moving units without a movement tray example' was worthy of an infomercial.
Love the paint job and the story behind it!
The army is looking great! Can't wait to see what else you add! I'm working on my vampire counts for the old world!
I like how small the hippogryph is. Big enough to scare the enemy but still within appropriate scale
Wow! This was very entertaining to watch and very interesting, thanks for uploading this video!
Great stuff. The Foundry stuff looks great alongside those excellent Perry models!
