Warhammer Fantasy Revisited

A friend of mine who I play against/with has a Bretonnia army which we have both been slowly adding to for a few years now. It’s been an on-going project rather than something new but I figured I’d drop here anyway as it’s one of my current projects I’m cycling through. the next unit on my ‘to do’ list is another block of Knights of the Realm. Will be doing these in the same scheme to give the unit a uniform look – purple and white with an accent colour of perhaps orange or yellow.

The GW models I’ll give to my friend once the project is finished to combine with his force. The Perry foot knights at the centre rear and the Fireforge foot sergeants (centre left rear and centre right rear) I had intended to keep for use in historical forces and swap out for extra support infantry when he was over and we needed more numbers on the tabletop but seeing everything ranked up today made me realise that the Perry’s are too small in scale to incorporate into the Bret army so I’ll find another heavy foot proxy to drop in instead. This also means that the Warlord Landsknechts with Zweihanders that I was hoping to use as proxy Empire Greatswords are going to be a no-go as well. So on a positive note, more historicals 🙂 I’ll have another look at the scale on the Fireforge minis before I make a final call on what to do with those guys.

His army has another 4 or 5 blocks of cavalry plus a tonne of foot and archers (his army can feel a bit Agincourt-y to face, especially if I’m playing squishy elves…) plus trebuchets and flying cavalry, so we pretty much have the main options covered and can go to stupidly large games. Of course as the old saying goes, no WHFB army is ever finished – they just get bigger…
