"Oh no! I have to get another army! How terrible! If only I could have foreseen this! What? No darling, it's for the boy of course!" You sir, are a genius

Brilliant to see Warhammer Fantasy coming back! As a relatively new gamer, I got into Warhammer long after WFB had ended. I’ve always wanted to create a Bretonnian army, but saw no point as hardly anyone played Fantasy Battles. But now is the perfect opportunity! 😀

Looking very much forward for ‘The old world’. Got a 300+ figures Empire army, so I will not be rebasing but will 3D-print movementtrays with slots for the smaller bases.

The Kingdom of Bretonnia has always been there and will remain so! Greenskin prepared you for the destruction of your people, the charge is imminent!!! For the lady, for the king and for the grail! ⚔

Love the painted sample figures and you have the start of a nice looking force. Great to see and hear your enthusiasm for the Old World returning. 👍

Awesome video! Great to see the old gems 💎 brought back to life with your army. Nice colour scheme and paint job. The unit filler idea was a great addition! Good luck on your project good sir!

Very nice Stuart . I really like the grubby look of your Bretonnians . All of this 'old world ' talk makes me feel like a kid again opening up the 4th edition starter set . 😊

These look amazing and I am looking forward to this coming back. 👍

Great work and effort! Love it!

Looking great! Can't wait to watch this project unfold! I'm still working on the wood elves, going to try and get the cavalry done next week.

First time on your channel, fantastic vid looking forward to more!

One of my favorite Warhammer units ever are the Bretonnian bowmen, with the palisades Infront. Another is the field trebuchet, absolutely love trebuchets. Men at arms are probably third. I guess I kinda like Bretonnians.

These are great. Enjoyed this video. The IF cross looked so good on the shields.

funny to see this video while i started to paint my bretonnian army now :) looking forward to your project

Great colour pallette and lovely to see your excitement for the project ! I must finish my Brettonians, I have some heroes, grail knights and men at arms still waiting in the hobby queue....

Fantasy > AoS 4th-6th is the golden age! Your son is lucky to have you ❤

Honestly I'd love to see a series where you tackle all different fantasy armies been using your dwarf scheme recently and would want to see your take on some empire, orcs etc

Love seeing this coming back, not played since 80s just started painting again since 80s as well, my god how it’s changed 😂 love the vids thank you

Really enjoyed this. I do regret selling my Bretonnian army a decade ago - one of the best armies I ever painted! Looking forward to seeing it all back - I'm amazed you bought all of this before it returns, I had a look a while back at prices for some of the old minis I sold and needed to remortgage the house for the Grail Pilgrims etc. Would love to see more of this stuff :)

Gonna Watch and Soak this Up Later!

Great video Stu, I'm intending on keeping my models on their existing bases and planning on increasing the size of the movement trays.

Really beautiful bret army, mate! Congrats + sub

Lovely looking paintscheme, Bretonnia, Skaven, Dwarves and Lizardmen are by far my favorite GW armies

I've been a huge Bretonnia fan since the glory days of 5th edition, with the lance formation (which is returning!), chivalry, and the Bretonnian code of honour. I wasn't keen on the grimdark direction 6th edition took them, and increasingly dismayed when 7th and 8th editions came and went with nothing for the noble servants of the lady. It was looking as if they'd been Squatted long before the End Times. Imagine how thrilled I was to discover they're the first to return with The Old World. For the Lady!

oh man the little bit of blood splatter looks so GOOD!

I could not love this more! Bretonnian's from the 4th ed box were my first WFB army, I definitely plan to do some repainting/rebasing of my old miniatures, and suppliment them with the new kits! For the Lady!

Love the color scheme!

I used to use those green renedra bases you used for the knights to build moulds for cloning pieces. Now I’m happy I held onto them 😂

I am not bothering with old world, but seeing these projects spring up is what I am looking forward to from the release. Plus maybe the odd miniature for other games

great!

#oldworldnewarmy I just glued a bunch of dwarves onto 25s and have a similar plan to have them ready for launch.

I started my Bretonnians early too. 30 years or so back (Still not done) ... LOL 😄🤣🙃

'For zee lady!' great to see Bretonnia getting some love, they are my favourite! Can't wait to see them in live action in that chaos rising film, knights vs chaos marauders!

Yellow and blue looks so good. I wish I was good enough to paint that style

This makes me so happy. I grew up basically devouring WHFB and I'm considering going back in if there's an interest around here.

First! But what a project! Bretonnians is always my dream project. Im so glad Old World is starting out with them.

I have just started Chaos dwarfs and wood elves(having TK!) Letsgooo!

I've got some Beastmen that I would love to drag out for my buddy to fight (he's primarily an Empire guy). But I am really attracted to the Highland Miniatures Dwarves. Gonna plunk down some money on those!

I sold off most of my Bretonnians but have enough left for a small force rebasing the Bowmen which look better on the larger bases. Don't want to face rebasing my Skaven however.

I really like your paint scheme here! I was starting an Ogre army last year and I'm glad that I didn't base anything. I would rather wait for Old World and put them on square bases. I magnetized the arms of the ogres, and I'm loving the customization opportunities. They're big enough that I can use larger, stronger magnets that are a lot less fiddly than the ones you need for man-sized arms.

Looks great mate! Would love to see a panting tutorial for that knight!

Excellent video! I'm on a similar track at the moment assembling some Dark Elves, a few ebay bits but some of that line is still supported by AoS. Very excited to see this army fully painted.

I love seeing all your projects develop, but the Old World/WHFB is definitely my favourite so far! It's inspired me to start my army early too. Its mostly Slaves to Darkness, but I've already been distracted by some Beastmen :) If you're looking for tutorial suggestions, I think different greenskin skin tones could be a good one! So lighter skin for goblins, medium skin for normal orcs, and darker skin for black orcs.

So looking forward to seeing WFB return. I started out with 5th edition and have never been able to get into AoS. Brettonnia was my first army and it’s great to see them and TK l coming back! Can’t wait to see what they do with it. I do however have 300 clanrats and skavenslaves that I will not be rebasing!! 😂

my first ever mini's i was 7 years old i think. fell in love with it and moved onto warhammer 40k. god. seeing this i might just buy a box set again and off we go :P no more pesky metal though, lord making those thngs with plastic and metal was a HELL!

I always loved the Brettonians, My fave Old Hammer Army, I am still working on my army wondering if I am going with a lord on horse or king on griffon. I just got my Pegasus knights which are pretty cool, debating on the Trebuchet. I still have my old army so I really didnt have to go all out on bowmen and knights which run a pretty penny now. Good Luck and cool video :)

Can't wait for more Bretonnians!

The final edition of Warhammer Ancient Battles gave +2 for ranks and +1 for formed unit. 3 ranks of 6 became the "go to" unit size. Maybe we'll see something similar in Old World.

Tip for people doing this - Wargames Foundry sell many 90s Bretonian minis (by the Perrys) in their Hundred Years War series. Their Renaissance series have some old Empire minis as well.

Fantastic! I'm in the middle of converting my Age of Sigmar Slaves to Darkness army back into Old World Warriors of Chaos. Your vid is very inspirational for that work.

6th edition, best edition! The Old World is gonna have to be really, really good to convince me to play it instead of 6th...

11:48 For tha Lady!

Great work, I have been looking at Night Goblins and/ or Orcs for my project, but Chaos would be a close second as I started in Warhammer during 5th/6th Edition. I actually worked on chaos warriors while in the hospital healing up. I’ve been using the grots from AOS and was looking at 20mm square bases. I guess I can still use those for the army. Nice work on the Bretonians, I used all of my models for an imperial guard conversion I guess about 19 years ago at this point so would have to start from scratch their as well.

I won't be rebasing any time soon. It remains to be seen if Old World will be any good (given that they're throwing it way into the past, some armies just might not be playable). I'll build for 6th, which was the edition I had but never got to play, and I'll go from there. If I do go for Old World, it'll be base adapters and spaced movement trays.

Nice project. In regards to the ranks of the infantry. I noticed that on a picture showing archers you can see, standing next to them, is infantry in 4 ranks I think.

My pile of shame includes a complete army deal grail knights pilgrims questing knights not to mention pilgrims as well as extra characters I did manage to keep a tombs army as well

Good to see you picking up a sproos of bretonians!

Those units look class. Cant wait for old world, hope my 30 man handgunner units are viable haha

THIS is the game I’ve been looking for from an old locked memory. Neighbour kid way back got these and they were cool but I was too busy colllecting Star Wars to buy in GW prices. Never knew what it was called.

I also play Kings of war. So I'll use movement trays with slots for 20mm bases.

Hi Stuart.. I'm well behind the ball - TBH you can just about see the ball in the distance.. with a telescope *lol* Anyway, regarding Tutorials - maybe by now you've already done one - perhaps one on animal subjects.. horses for cavalry etc?

Thanks for the video. I struggle atm if i rebase my dwarfs or not..i already have some regimentbases for 20 to 25...but its still a pain to rank them up with there 20mm bases XD

Dang it! gotta re-base my Dark Elves, after dusting them off 😄

if u flip the print 180º , the bases will not come with the elephant foot (on corners etc..) u will have it on the top but not the borders that touch with the other base, for me works better when i print bases (dunno if i explain it correctly sry ^^ ) Nice video btw!! hoping to see ure project move foward!! :)

Great video! WOuld love to see that painting tutotial for the knight! Also, what would you consider a fair prize for the "old" Bretonnian starter set sprues? In my old boxes with stowed away WH stuff, I discovered some complete sprues for 12 knight and 16 bowmen. Now I am thinking of eiher keeping them as a starting point for a (small) Bretonnia army, or sell them, but I got now idea what price would be fair. As you mentioned in the video, Ebay prices are not really giving a realistic range.

Never had the chance to play fantasy. And I really don't care for the AOS setting. So i am looking forward to the old world a lot.

Ah good stuff. Thank you for sharing your spearheading or pathfinding effords ... 😁👍 30 x 60 mm seems to be right, though they look really large at the first glance. And a lance formation of brettonian knights just look so right. I hope they will also re-introduce the Brigants of Bergerac also with a possible wedge formation. I have ever wondered why the standard base size for Warhammer wasn't simply 1x1 inch and 1x2 inches for cav, because at least in my logic it would make more sense, and I also assumed that this could be a thing for TOW, at least thats what I would have done

I found a lad that does 3d designs that are cheap and IMO gets quite the spirit of bretonia so i may do a bretonian army as you = )

i dont think anythings gonna ever top 6th but i am exited for the return of older models

More knights! This is Bretonnia. They are your good troops.

Looking forward to the return of WHFB, though I don't fancy re-basing my 5000 point Greenskin horde.

I’m building a dwarf army on 20mm for oldhammer and then I can use a larger movement tray with gaps to play them as old world. It’s mainly characters or cavalry which doesn’t play as nice between editions.

can you keep posting updates on your bretonia pls :) its great background noise and bretonia is my favorite army in Total War WH

Old Skool

Finally someone talking truth about finecast. Yeah - it had some shockers - but man when it was good it was way better than metal.... And some metal / resin ive had were woeful. So it wasnt ALL bad.

Just put orcs on a movement tray so that way you don't have to have them in tight formation they can look more like a rabble.

Nice! I’m going to make my Bretonian Army out of Fireforge knights, Oath Mark human infantry and Frostgrave soldiers!

Very nice looking figures. I invested a lot of energy and time in Bretonnia many years ago, but left Warhammer behind because GW kept changing the rules and style of play. Sold a lot of them and what I have left I use Osprey's Lion and Dragon Rampant rules which is soooooo much more fun and easier to play without all the 'waiting' and 'next edition' guff that GW keep insist on doing.

Despite some of the doomsaying you see in certain corners of the interwebs, I remain massively excited about TOW. I have been working on a variety of WHF armies recently, and "that base question" has bothered me quite a bit to be honest. - Dwarfs ... I could do almost all of the range on the new 25mm bases right now, and having done a few testers I like them this way A LOT. Just... more interested in other armies at this moment, so not a lot got done. - O&G ... lots of interest in them, and actively painting infantry - on their old bases. Similar to Dwarfs I did some tests, and do NOT like the look of Nightgoblins on 25mm bases - just "too much air". They rank up easily as they are, and have a proper horde look that way, not going to change this. Some common Orcs are in the mix as well, but mostly for "yeah I could add them later on with a multibase to spread them out correctly". I will not take O&G to anything official, so none of this really matters, I just think most things other than Nightgoblins benefit from the larger bases, and we don't know the "standard" for current 25mm and cavalry bases yet. I wish I could do more, but it is only Nightgoblins for now. - Dark Elves, Wood Elves, Tomb Kings ... doing a small unit of each on 25mm, all built and primed so far. All of them look better on the bigger bases to me. No clue yet as to which of these armies will get priority, and when. - Vampire Counts ... I have a sizable army already, and will not rebase them. The new AoS sculpts, while amazing, really do not fit on 20mm bases at all, so I will keep the army with older models and on their old bases. No harm done. - Beastmen and Warriors of Chaos ... I have many a model for both, always hesitated to do them as an army for the ranking issue. So I love the bigger base sizes, but have to wait for them to actually be around to get started. Mildly frustrating! So yeah, not all of it completely rational, but it does not have to be, right? A hobby is about emotions and what I really WANT to do, and as things stand I am kept busy anyway. TOW just can not come soon enough! :D

I think what I'll do regarding bases is just keep old bases and base everything on the old sizes, and just 3D print out some trays if I do give the old world a go. Mostly tho my interest is in access to boxed models again to play the older editions(6th ed mostly), until I see the rules for old world anyways. Still looking forward to all the collecting, modelling and painting content that is going to come out of old world a lot tho, even if the rules end up being something closer to 8th ed and im not interested that much

Starting to get very tempted by this. Last time I played WFB was 2nd Edition and I just bought 6th because my LGS play it a lot. I'm just wondering if I can use my hundreds of Landsknechts as Bretonians, but they'll all multi-based for historical games.

This takes me back to Warhammer Fantasy battles 5th edition box set! Bretonnia vs Lizardmen - where it all started for me back in '96 was it? Looking forward to seeing more of this project. The idea of the return to warhammer epic is rather interesting too - do you think they are cashing in on the success of Warlords Epic series? Keep up the great content!

you can fix the model basing problem real easy with movement trays with spacers. a lot of people on youtube are already doing it. should be easy to find a tutorial what measurements you need.

If those puny men get a spacious 25mm what size base will Black Orcs or Dwarf Slayers have now ?

Did you check over at Armorcast, they have nice heraldic emblem decals.

It´s realy nice to see! But where to hell you get affortable minitures? Cause all offers ill see are mutch way to expensive of these good old guys!

I wonder if the arrowhead formation will return as well as the lance??

I've actually dug out an old Dwarf army and bought some 25mm bases for them. A friend is up for teaching me 8th edition (only a decade too late).

Those models are really nice and definitely have the old Warhammer Fantasy feel, a big hurrah for fantasy battles making a come back albeit under a new name. Just a thought that some 20mm to 25mm base converters might be an easy conversion for your son's Orcs..?

where did you find the 25 x 100 x mm bases, and amazing work im doing the same

Ohh, fantastic! I've always wanted to play this but never could, and AoS just didn't do much for me. Now...Brettonia or Lizardmen?

I hope that this game is a true fan service. We don't need new models; just bring us Warhammer as it was in 6th edition, and I'll be happy!

How do you know about base size? Based on photos og models you've seen previewed? Really nice paintjob, btw.

i want to rebase my chaos dwarfs but who knows what the base size will be!

Painting Empire, will leave anything I'm not sure of unbased and only have a couple of units to upsize to 25s

Excellent video on Warhammer Fantasy! How long have you been painting for? Thats a really high standard

Amazing! Would you consider sharing the file for the 30x60mm base you made?

Personally working on my brets as well, doesnt help that i printed off 40 foot knights and doing free hand helerdies on the mounted knight

I am hoping some one will design a two part wrap around 3D print base that can just be glued onto the original bases to convert them to the new rules when it is known what they are. My Bretonian army is too big for mass messing around with bases I hope the only changes to the Bretonians is the base sizes so I can still use all my minis even my rule breaking male spell caster that looks a bit like Merlin chosen for that very look. I do hope the lance formation for the knights is there, and it would be nice if the arrow head formation comes back for the Archers that was a Bretonian only thing when I started. I personally am just not interested in having to do a big rework to play the game or buy a new Army for me toy soldiers is very much a secondary hobby and I want to use what I already have.

Yellow is the main colour of the Imperial Fists. Blue is the main colour of the Crimson Fists, their successor chapter. Maybe you could use some red markings on the blue background if you need to do different unit markings? Just an idea.
