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!

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.

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

“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).

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.

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).

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.
