All model paints used are from The Army Painter. I am now a member of their factory team! Their new Warpaint Fanatic line are really great top of the line paints. Full disclosure - Army painter pays me, but I spent months testing the paints before agreeing to sign. I would not recommend them to you guys if I wasn't perfectly happy using them myself. Anyways they are available here:

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.
@@empryme , Colours may not be on top of colours and metals may not be on top of metals, but they may be beside each other. Since azure (blue) and gules (red) are division of the field (party per pale, in this instance), then they are considered to be at the same level, so neither is on top.
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!
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
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
the smell when opening the old blisters take me back to the good old times 😉
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.
your original bretonnia video is why i started to collect it myself, didn't rieally like the look of 6th ed. models and those are the ones you tend to see more often, you showcased all those pretty 5th editions sculpt and i fell in lovewith them. I am now the proud owner of a full 5th edition bretonnian army.
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 RUclips channel explorer though.)
Thank you, i would be proud to have that title and will keep working to earn it 😎
They’re so lovely, and I completely agree with the missed opportunity of GW’s paint job
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
Exact same here. Have spent the last few years trying to finish 4 childhood armies 😅
The bright green bases and movement trays hit me right in the nostalgia.
Thanks for sharing your Dream with us, Eric.
Lovely army, Eric. I hope it brings you 20 years of joy after your 20-year wait.
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
One of the most inspiring ideas and videos on painting. Thank you!
Great video and the detail on those minis is incredible. You did a great job on your armies.
Great attention to detail and I love that you are fulfilling a childhood dream in your adulthood. Keep it up!!
those knights look awe-inspiring! beautiful job
Dude well done! Your models look beautiful and I'm glad you were willing to share. You're awesome :D
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.
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.
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 👍👍
I like how small the hippogryph is. Big enough to scare the enemy but still within appropriate scale
Such a fine video 😀 I love it when you refurbish older models 🙂
eric, your passion is infectious. great looking models, and a warm fuzzy trip in the wayback machine for me. have so much fun playing with them!
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!)
Very impressive army. I go through slumps with painting and creating. Then I'll see a video like this and get that charge back. Time to go work.
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!
Awesome.. I'm happy you finally got your army!
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.
I hope you gonna have a lot of fun with these knights. They look great!
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 👀
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
Great job Eric! Keep it up my brother in The Lady!
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.
same here :) Good condition ,just my kid found it a couple of months back and he tore out the first page... 🥲
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!
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 :)
Even though I'm not a fan of Bretonnia, I really enjoyed this whole video. It is very nice and heartwarming. Skaven give a thumbs up. 🙂
What an amazing army! Love the colours
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
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.
Love to see a classic collection like this continue to grow and be used!
Great work Eric! I have a huge stash of unpainted 5th ed Brets. Your speed paint examples look great so may use that as you did to crank the units out.
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!
I let myself get talked out of starting the army twice back in 7th and 8th edition. Third time is the charm and nothing will stop me this time.
Ive been very excited to get my hands on some old world. Being a newer hobbyist I never got to experience it back in the day. Biding my time until they release the dwarfs.
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 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 😝
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
A beautiful army indeed! Love your vids!
The army looks awesome !
Your paint jobs are inspiring!
Those grail knights are really starting to look like Attilan Rough Riders.
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
4:05 On the contrary! There's a nice little reference you can make towards the song "Mr. Blue Sky" by the Electric Light Orchestra!
Some really nice painting here, loved the way the wings on the Hippogriff (was that what it was called?) turned out with those four colors from dark to light. I first thought it would look weird as you painted it, but when we saw the final result it looked great.
I really like that the knights have different colors, as I feel this was something that made this army special back in the days that there were a lot of colors on the battlefield. Hope the big box comes in stock again sometime, as I would love to have these models as the base of my Bretonnian army. I have some of the old units, but not enough for an army.
Wow! This was very entertaining to watch and very interesting, thanks for uploading this video!
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.
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.
Brilliant video! Love the army. I've been inspired to live out my own Bretonnian dream.
Just to satisfy the pendants out there: the plural of Pegasus is Pegasuses as it's a word of greek origin
Dynamite looking brets, keep up the great work sir
Saweet! Looks really good!
Best voiceover voice in the hobby!
I get your name scheme. My Orcs and Goblins army was the Bloo Toofs. Their symbol was Blue tusks on the banners and any exposed lower teeth or teeth-like object.
You should do a unit of Knights Templar from the crusades where they are all painted the same breaking your tradition of each knight being painted differently
Cool job. mate! 👍
Really wanting to bite the bullet and start a bretonnia army, this is very inspirational.
Nice . I still have my old Bret’s. Just need to add to them a bit here and there’s
Didn’t even think about printing movement trays. Good idea
congrats, great work. Enjoyed the video!
A friend of mine is getting back into Warhammer and wargaming entirely...she was not happy about the massive project that she had broken down to complete ended with the enitre AoS debacle, with both a wood elf and a bretonnian army that had detachments that could be used with the other for it.
I've still got an old Kislev force somewhere stashed away that I never got around to painting that I had, originally, planned for some things with 8th edition in smaller force size, but in the End Times events that were planned, I'd stored them away and expanded my vampire counts along with building a Vampire Coasts detachment that I'd also been collecting for.
If you really want to screw with older Warhammer Fantasy players, a vampire coasts detachment really managed to do that. Unfortunately, unlike most of the smaller army lists that GW put out over the years for things, Vampire Coasts one major issue is that it doesn't scale up to the massive battles that well, though a revamp of them could be interesting thanks to Total WarHammer having them with some extra units, but they worked wonderfully as a detachment...because vampiric gunlines and cannons confused the hell out of a lot of people.
As a side note considering the vampires, their studio Bretonnian army looks like they might be the blood dragons color scheme there...
And I'm considering if I should try coming up with some sort of rebasing for my Lion/Dragon Rampant army of knights and footmen for Old World. Not GW minis, but they're interesting, though I'd need to end up with several proxies for it since I decided to include wardogs in it
Beautiful army
I'm a simple man. I see a notification for Eric's Hobby Workshop and I click it.
Spotted a LOTR miniature hiding amongst the Bretonnians :)
Great job im working in similar army idea for months. 😊
you can't put azur (blue) and gueules (red) next to each other because they're both "émaux" (colours in French heraldry). this series is amazing btw ! i hope that we'll see more of it
Pretty sure I went to high school with the guy in the glasses and the black tank top in Toronto. If you're still in contact with the guy ask him if he went to Chaminade. Would be pretty crazy if it's the same guy.
All hail Eric, the true king of Bretonnia!
Those Foundry HYW models are the old GW/Citadel models that made up the Brets pre-5th edition. Technically they're GW tournament legal.
Awesome army! Awesome video! I feel like hugging you.
Oh lord knows I’ve waited for this!
Before you read this know I'm a huge fan and I'm responding to the video, but I believe the banner has mirrored images. Meaning the figure is facing the wrong way and the colours are switched for one of the images. Which is big for heraldry.
Eric - Some of you probably weren't even alive in 2003.
Me - Nonsense, that was only a deca- oh no, that was 21 years ago.
Excellent video!
Great job! Speed-paint really favors these old mini's IMO. A modern GW over-shaded and overworked paint job just looks weird, especially the Bretonnians. They should almost glow on the table.
This channel is gold
Great to see some cool knights! What is the book about heraldry that we see you reading in the intro?
I never really cared all that much for Bretonnia and their units, until I played through the Chevaliers de Lyonesse campaign in Total Warhammer 2. Something about that campaign just made them click for me, and now I bemoan my poverty and inability to field a Bretonnian army. Then again, I have a hard enough time finishing my Kill Teams, so maybe it's a blessing in disguise from the Lady :D
the pegasus is facing away from combat on the flag, symbolizing cowardice. I think. it should be looking in the same direction as the knight's actual horse. I think...
That fallout boy clip reminds me of college on a “Saturday”.
I'm a much bigger AoS fan, but I am glad the old fans are getting their old game back. I hope y'all have fun.
20 mm warhammer Tetris was part of the fun of the game 😂
Nice find with the non GW historicals which match very well, excellent choice. Gorgeous army, I'll never be bored of updates and showcases, delicious eyecandy.
I'm with you.. painting a whole Bretonnian army the same colour and pattern just seems wrong and looks weird. I want colours and heraldry from across the land.
About the Grail Knights new old stock blisters, you ARE the end case for opening new old stock, if anyone should it's someone like you who will appreciate it fully, the whole point of not opening stuff isn't for value alone, it's so in the future it can be enjoyed fully by niche collectors who understand what they are opening :)
Just wow dude
great video, inspiring!
I do have some of those metal 5th guys. I got them second hand for absurdly cheap around 2018
I have the command group, and the exact same foundry guys with bills lol. I guess all bretonnians fans think alike.
Sugar, we're goin down swinging!
Really cool 👍🏰🏇
