Kingdom of Bretonnia – Warhammer the old world

So far I’ve mostly built WH40k stuff, but when TOW arrived, it intrigued me a bit, and I just had to get a box and try it out. I thought the Bretonnians looked more fun and since Ivanhoe and other films like that I’ve always liked that genre.

I started with the knights. All horses was made with two halves and a head. I figured out that by combining the halves I could get four different poses.

I had to check with a friend i the other two poses was valid, which they was, so I continued.

There was a few things I needed to sort when working with the knights as they could be built as either knights of the realm or knight errants. Both are showed in the instructions but the army list only speaks of knights of the realm. So I decided to go with that.

Each unit consists of one champion, one standard bearer, one musician and three knights.
I had a hard time trying to figure which head should go on which one. The only simple one was the musicians as I think it would be hard to blow the horn with a helmet on.

I also built the three pegasus knights.

As can be seen I’ve also started on the archers.

I painted the guns with black metal. Then the tracks got a thin layer of rust, some orange rust, and later I dry brushed with steel.

Details in red was painted on the figures, which was a bit of a strain.

I’ll paint some more small details, then I’ll check if I missed something, before putting on a clear cote. Then decals and weathering is left to do.

After masking for the red pattern in the front, they looked like small packages! 🙂

Time for some red paint.

Then off with the tape!

After some minor touching up, I started paitning the tracks.

They are small, so a bit hard to hold while painting the details. More detail painting later.

I bought this box together with a few other Legions Imperialis boxes. After doing my 2nd Thunderhawk build, I decided to do a few more troops/units in White Scars’s paint scheme.

I removed and cleaned up the parts for all four tanks.

As with many of GW’s newer kits, they are very easy to build, and everything goes together very smoothly, with barely no visible seams at all.

There was options for 2 different side guns and 2 main guns, as well a few otions for the command turret. I choose to have one commander and 3 gunners.

Then it was time for some primer and later some paint. Using more or less the same colours I used on the Thunderhawk.

I haven’t decided how I will paint the red pattern on these vehicles yet. I’ll think about it a while.

Like the first one this was an easy fun build. I’m alos showing pics of the first one with decals.

So now I have one for each side of the conflict. I have to check how many there usually are in an army. Perhaps sometime I’ll get 2 more and paint them in other colour schemes.

As I now got decals for the first ship, I showing them here too.

Then a pic of both ships.

I did some weathering with Tamiyas panel line wash, Agrax earthshade, silver and diluted pale sand.

I’ll consider both builds done and will post final reveal pics as soon as possible.

I masked and painted red chevron markings, that is common for White scars.

Part of the engine nacelles was painted red and then the engines, guns and some other details was painted with black metal.

Then gold was painted on some details.

The windows was painted.

Next I’ll clear cote it and add markings.

As the decals for the first Gunship was missing, I got a new one and decided to build that one too. At least there is decals enough for several ships on the sheet.
The first one I built was for the traitors as it turned out, so now I’m building one in a loyal scheme.

Building it is quite easy and everything fits very well.

Right before I started painting, I decided to glue the canon as well.
Instead of starting with black primer as usual, I went for grey instead.

I then used beige and ivory as zenithal colours.

On top of that I painted a off white/ivory colour.

Next I’ll ask for the chevron pattern on the nose and probably on the wings.
