After 10 years of doing painting tutorials for both Games Workshop and the Academy (www.duncanrhodes.com), I finally get to paint one of my absolute favourite miniatures of all time - A Bretonnian Knight of the Realm! With the imminent release of the Old World, we figured this was a great opportunity to paint this classic and beloved miniature from the Golden Age of Warhammer Fantasy.
We show you everything you need to know to paint your Bretonnian Knights of the Realm from start to finish. As usual, all the techniques shown here can be used on a wide range of miniatures in your Bretonnian army as well as your favourite medieval miniatures too. For the Lady! For Glory! For Bretonnia!

All I wanted when I was 14 was a Wood Elf dragon. When I finally got one, I stuck it together, got massively intimidated by the paint job and left it on a shelf forevermore. Some say it still stalks the loft of a particular house in Nottingham...

My favorites are also the Knights of Bretonnia, and I am very much looking forward to painting the revived army. Most especially that new Prophetess on horseback. Only complaint about that model is that she is not riding sidesaddle.

I am a veteran painter of Bretonnia with about 50-60 knights all of this era kit. Each one has unique heraldry but shares from a common pallet of 6 colours (I use green, as it is my favorite) as you mentioned. the common colours make the models "fit" as a cohesive force. I'm delighted to see that these models are getting the love and attention they deserve. The amount of smooth surface allows for really fun geometric shapes and let you make some fun and interesting heraldry. To anyone just starting to paint Bretonnian knights, Be BOLD. These models can have a serious ugly phase as you move into the layer step just hold the line until the highlights and transfers are in place. Sometimes the most gaudy and clashing pallet can result in striking knights that you place front and center into your lance formations. SOUND THE CHARGE! For Glory, For the Lady, For Bretonnia!

So hyped for Old World and feeling confident enough to actually paint a Bretonnian army. I was still a teenager when I first got into Fantasy and was way too intimidated to even attempt painting Bretonnians.

@@DuncanRhodesDRPA Well, yeah, I know that...now :D But 15, 16 years ago, there sadly wasn't someone telling me that and showing me the process like you and all the other amazing painters out there. I just get nostalgic when I see these minis because they were my absolute dream army back then, and when I got back into the hobby after Fantasy went away, I was kinda sad to (as it seemed) never get the chance to do them. So I'm just ecstatic to see them return and to know that for people coming into the hobby now, there are readily available resources to get over the anxiety of starting to paint!

Bretonnia was my first Warhammer Army ever, first stated collecting back in high school in ye olde 2006, my first love, and an expression of my love for all things Medieval that i never outgrew. So, it brings joy to see someone share such fondness for Bretonnia and its many knights and peasants. I'm looking forward to finally painting them in full multi colored pageantry they deserve. Thanks Duncan for an excellent video. For the Lady and Bretonnia!

In reference to being ironic you're just now getting to do a tutorial for your favourite army, I can relate - I was a theatrical jouster for around fifteen years, yet never played WFB (though I played a heck of a lot of Mordheim :D ). I did paint up a Bretonnian warband for Mordheim in my own heraldric colours (black and white, shield heraldry sable on a pile argent an azure crescent), was much harder to recreate my stuff on that tiny scale!

I've been unsure if I'll be able to get the old world box on release, but I'm SUPER excited that Bretonnia is the starting "Order" faction! (I consider the Tomb Kings another SHADE of "Order", but they are so hostile to outsiders that I only include them with "Order" because they are anti-ending the world, and they're not prone to invading other's territory... You leave THEM alone, they leave YOU alone... At least from what I know about Settra...) I have a huge soft spot for knights in shining armor, and since Bretonnia is all that along with pegasus knights, trebuchets, men-at-arms with billhooks, as well as mighty damsels on unicorns... For Ze Lady!!! (Seriously, I can't WAIT for "The Old World", and I hope they one day make expansions for the Lizardmen, Druchii, (even though I loath Druchii...), Skaven, and the other factions that have not yet been teased...) Also, do you personally think that "Two Thin Coats" is better paint than citadel? I noticed that you use it a lot, and I have only ever experienced the 50 cent Walmart paints before I slowly moved up to citadel. (I STILL use those cheap paints a lot because of how expensive Citadel paints are...)
