Finishing my DREAM Warhammer Army | Classic Bretonnians for Warhammer the Old World 

The pegasus trippant is contourny.

few things give me more satisfaction than seeing someone tear open old mini blisters, and imagining the gnashing of teeth of the hoarders.

Babe wake up, Eric’s uploaded

Having all those units just in black and red is criminal

"Models are meant to be built and enjoyed." Exactly!

the smell when opening the old blisters take me back to the good old times 😉

Your army is the army I wish I had, I would stare at them for hours in the magazines or in the shop. Brightly coloured knights on display just brings such joy to a man.

Also glad to see the old blisterpacks opened. I agree, they are meant to be build, painted and enjoyed.. Played with!

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.

They’re so lovely, and I completely agree with the missed opportunity of GW’s paint job

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 RU-vid channel explorer though.)

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.

The bright green bases and movement trays hit me right in the nostalgia.

Escalifont is an excellent name. I also always name my characters with something in mind, usually something only I know, but it adds immersion to your force.

I miss this kind of Warhammer. The old armies are amazing.

Eric. Fantastic! I am in my early thirties and loved the Bretonnians when I was a teenager. I just opened The Old World Bretonnian Starter box like 10 minutes before I saw this video. It just arrived today. Like you, it is like a childhood dream coming true. I couldn't afford the "Regiment" boxes back then. Now that I have the Bretonnian starter box, I am not throwing it out. I get a second chance on owning my first "Regiment" box. Man! So exciting. Thanks for posting this video today. It made the experience all the better. Good luck on your knightly quests.

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

Lovely army, Eric. I hope it brings you 20 years of joy after your 20-year wait.

Thanks for sharing your Dream with us, Eric.

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

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.

Crazy free hand on the great banner bearer 👏👏

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 👍👍

Im going to guess that the Pegasus on the banner is facing the wrong way. As in its supposed to point towards the poll

Exquisite 🙂 I absolutely love this, Eric. Congratulations on this lifelong achievement! You've got a new subscriber on Erics Hobby Battle Reports. #bobsnbangs

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.

I like how small the hippogryph is. Big enough to scare the enemy but still within appropriate scale

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.

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

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

Fantastic video my friend! I have always dreamed of having a Bretonnian army. Back when I got into fantasy I wanted Bretonnian’s but the range was quite limited and the rule set was old so instead I went with the new shine empire models. But now with the old world my chance to collect the noble Knights of Bretonnia has come forth once more! For the lady!

Dude well done! Your models look beautiful and I'm glad you were willing to share. You're awesome :D

Living the dream, very inspirational... about to embark upon a similar, nostalgic journey!! Look forward to more content around Bretonnia and the Old World!

I'm a simple man. I see a notification for Eric's Hobby Workshop and I click it.

Such a fine video 😀 I love it when you refurbish older models 🙂

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.

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.

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. 🙂

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!

Great job Eric! Keep it up my brother in The Lady!

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

Awesome.. I'm happy you finally got your army!

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!)

Love the paint job and the story behind it!

Really wonderful video. Your passion for your army comes through loud and clear.

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.

What an amazing army! Love the colours

I hope you gonna have a lot of fun with these knights. They look great!

The army looks awesome !

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!

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.

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.

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 :)

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!

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.

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 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 😝

Great looking army and awesome collection!

Best voiceover voice in the hobby!

Iv always wanted to start this army and now I finally can and I’m so happy. Your looks amazing

Gorgeous and inspiring army project! Thank for bringing back a flood of wonderful memories, long live Bretonnia!!!

All hail Eric, the true king of Bretonnia!

Love to see a classic collection like this continue to grow and be used!

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.

Saweet! Looks really good!

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

A beautiful army indeed! Love your vids!

Youve really nailed the Bretonian style and themes including your scenery. I wish I had half your skill, especially that freehand heraldry work. I suspect GW has displayed the latest Old world Bret's in a uniformed colour scheme so as not to intimidate or overwhelm new hobbyists to the game.

I really love the grail knight conversion. Replacing the standard with a lance was a "why didnt I think of that" idea. Great video! Your army is beautifully done!

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

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.

The Pegasus on the banner is running away! It should show its bravery by facing the enemy!

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.

Awwww heck yeah! I've been painting up my classic High Elves Army, keeping the original minis & painting up ones I've found on sprues. I started with 6th edition fantasy in 2003. I never stopped painting minis since then. It's been a trip looking through my old army books. Fantastic video!!!

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.

Your paint jobs are inspiring!

Those grail knights are really starting to look like Attilan Rough Riders.

What a beautiful vídeo, right on the feels, I was a 2000 child too dreaming a perfect painted army...

Cool job. mate! 👍

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'm just now collecting them but Bretonnia was also my dream fantasy army back in the day. I could never afford to get into Fantasy back then. When I got back into 40k in 8th I planned on finally getting into Fantasy too, only to find out it was gone 😭 I'm so excited about Old World!!

Dynamite looking brets, keep up the great work sir

Beautiful army

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!

Spotted a LOTR miniature hiding amongst the Bretonnians :)

Wow! This was very entertaining to watch and very interesting, thanks for uploading this video!

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.

Really wanting to bite the bullet and start a bretonnia army, this is very inspirational.

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

Fantastic army!

congrats, great work. Enjoyed the video!

Oh lord knows I’ve waited for this!

Really enjoyed this mate

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

Loving it! Those old models have so much character, and your painting really brings it out even more. I know Old World is the new hotness right now, but I'd love to see some more Wild West content from you at some point. Your video on making the town was so cool. Any thoughts on doing more?

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

Great job im working in similar army idea for months. 😊
