You all saw my bases for my Bretonnian army last week. Well I finally built up the courage to paint a knight. I bought these knights 20 years ago, and I never felt like I could do them justice at the time, so they waited patiently in a box until now. Using contrast paints to block out colours makes projects so much easier nowadays! Hopefully with this video you'll learn how to paint your own knights, even if it's not this exact scheme- you'll still learn what order to paint elements in etc! Please let know what you think about the scheme and if I should paint other schemes as well for my army!

I'm just glad the Bretonnians are making a comeback.

@MediocreHobbies 7 месяцев назад

So excited too

@frontline989 9 месяцев назад

I’m hoping the old world takes over as my main game. The aesthetic of AOS has never been to my liking and I’m a huge history guy so fantasy has always held great appeal. My dream and plan is to have a fully painted Empire army painted in the Stirland colors. I’m also going to have a dwarf and orc and goblin army. If GW supports the game properly I would happily play this over 40K for good.

@MediocreHobbies 9 месяцев назад

I have 8000 pts of painted stirland my friend. You have very good taste.

@ryandugan9176 9 месяцев назад

I agree, aos never really caught my attention the way that the old world did. I do have a nighthaunt collection but I'd happily swap them over to squares for a vc army in a heartbeat.

@douglas2437 8 месяцев назад

Couldn't agree more. I thought AoS was a horrible mistake just before the amazing Warhammer Total War came out. Can't wait for TOW to come in.

@MTBDaDz 6 месяцев назад

9th age? it was perfect after the 8th edition. I will Give TOW a try! but i am afraid its gonna powercreep like all the pervious editions.

@michaelford4148 9 месяцев назад

I started Bretonnians when they released the 6th edition army book, and painted all of the knights as individuals. I’ve only painted 24 knights of the realm so far, and hope to have 8 more by the new year. Painting them as individuals takes a lot of work, so I can understand you wanting to paint a more uniform look. By the time you finish one batch of 10 you might want to do your next group in another scheme, so you don’t have to make up your mind just yet. Your paint scheme looks really good! Looking forward to seeing more!

@MediocreHobbies 9 месяцев назад

That’s the best advice so far pal. Thanks n

@Wardads1 4 месяца назад

Grail knights deserve their own heraldry.

@MediocreHobbies 4 месяца назад

Agreed.

@Bluecho4 9 месяцев назад

I'd recommend painting the units in different schemes. Both for variety, and to make it less monotonous. (It also means you don't need to buy hundreds of Black Templar transfer symbols). I fully understand people who want to paint their Bretonnians in one unified scheme. Painting is a labor-intensive hobby, and doing it all in a single paint scheme makes it easier for people to get their models painted and on the board. Plus, some folks just like the aesthetic. It was the correct decision on GW's part to establish "knights unified in color under their lord's banner" as a valid way of approaching the army in The Old World. For me, personally, I wouldn't be satisfied with anything less than every single knight having not just their own paint scheme, but their own heraldry. It's both traditional for Bretonnia, and more importantly _historical._ Knights in the Real World were all their own feudal lords, with their own lands, and fought under their own colors and heraldic devices. I've been wanting to start a Bretonnian army for a while now, and I like the idea of each model being its own character. Each a "hero" in their own right.

@MediocreHobbies 9 месяцев назад

Ye I get that. I’m still undecided

@williamamely7038 9 месяцев назад

@S0upN1nja 9 месяцев назад

I definitely think that painting each squad in matching house colors would be wiser than painting each knight as their own house. That way you can get squads of them done without getting burnt out dumping hours into an individual model. As for this starter knight, I liked the results of the blue and the creamy brown. They're nice and subtle and it looks great. Nicely done!

@MediocreHobbies 9 месяцев назад

Appreciate it pal. Thanks.

@10urion 9 месяцев назад

For the Knights Errants (if you do them) I would love to see a inverted paint scheme of this one. So more beige and less blue to show that they are "poorer"/ still have to earn their colors

What I like about your videos is that you illustrate an achievable result. You're probably a better painter than I am, but I feel like you're at a down to earth level. So often other heavy hitter RU-vidrs demonstrate techniques that most painters are nowhere near the level of. It's like they're showing off. Your videos are relaxing and doable.

@gomine5971 9 месяцев назад

I also recently got into medievals and a trick I learned to increase the amount of variety is to reduce my batch sizes down to a minimum (4 for cavalry) then slightly change the way I would apply the same paints on the model. I imagine you could easily get the same increase by either using a colour you're already using on a different part of the heraldry or use the same colours but in a different pattern.

@MediocreHobbies 9 месяцев назад

Not a bad idea at all.

@BoomtaxRISEtrons 9 месяцев назад

Very excited for the Old World, and specifically Brettonians. Might have to dig my unloved models out of the closet after watching this!! I agree with your take about the scale of the game - the key words are FOR NOW. I see this as getting in on the ground floor of what will grow into being a much larger game and system down the road. Just look where Necromunda started compared to how extensive the model range and variety of factions are now! Excited for a tight, well crafted game for the first year and more to look forward to in the future!

@MediocreHobbies 9 месяцев назад

Glad people feel the same at as I do pal. It’s going to be great.

@MiniatureRealms 9 месяцев назад

Really nice looking scheme. I avoided painting the Brets I had back when I played before, but have really been enjoying them this time round. Seems we paint using some similar methods, and I used HH Fists crosses on mine as well, though I’ve since gone back and adjusted them slightly with another decal. I’ve been making quite a bit of TOW content as well, and it’s really nice to see some more hobby related stuff (which is what I tend to focus on), as much as I like all the speculation chatter, good old painting videos are great to see as well, I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for more of your videos.

@MediocreHobbies 9 месяцев назад

@blackwolf671 9 месяцев назад

Not a Bretonnian guy. But id probably keep each unit in a similar color scheme, maybe with a different bit of quartering or halving from unit to unit, with each knight getting some personal Heraldry on the shield or a crest somewhere. Easy to fluffy in my head as knights being from the same house, with different units coming from the counts or barons under each duke. Atleast for the knights errant/ knights of the realm. Questing or grail knights its fair for them to have their own heraldry. ..Also entirely valid to just look at dude and pick whatever color fits him best. Its how i paint my orks.

@jacklalaing5164 7 месяцев назад

This knight came out really nice. I'm glad I found your channel. I'm becoming more excited about Old World comming back. For a while I kept saying I'm only ever going to play 6th. Especially when I found out Skaven were being shelved. Bretonnia was my first warhammer army, so maybe I'll be going back to my roots. I did like the fact that each knight was different, that's how it was irl, that's how you knew who was who when they were in armor. But I do like the look of a unit in variations of the same colors. Great job so far, let me know if you ever do something in abandon black and averland sunset, I could use some tips.

@MediocreHobbies 7 месяцев назад

If you want more templar crosses i would give etsy a go...there are shops to get transfer sheers of just that kind of stuff. Ive had custom ones made for my imperial knights which have come out good as well. I would say the one colour scheme for the lower ranks and peasants and then custom house livery for higher knights who would wear their own colours. Ive not been warching long but love your channel, its got me more into my airbrushing and contrast colours.

@sethran9447 9 месяцев назад

Bretonnians were my favourite army in Old World as I love King Arthur and similar tales, but the individual schemes were too daunting for my 13 year old self. With Old World I considered Knights and Matching Yeoman as schemes between units.

@ryandugan9176 9 месяцев назад

I'm quite excited for the old world and working on a bretonnian army myself. My current plan for color schemes is to do a batch of 1-1-1 grail,realm, and errant knights with shared heraldry and paint a group of infantry to match each character in the army. I'm aiming to have the majority of the peasantry wear the lord's colors but I'm personally just excited to play around with heraldric progression across trios of models to keep things fresh and varied. I honestly hope that the old world stays relatively small in scale, somewhere around what it was in 5-6 edition, because the more gw upcosts nostalgia the more prohibitive it will be to new players. If all else fails this will at least be a great excuse to break out some older edition and play.

You are so right, that baby blue scheme really works well. Great vid'. OK, probably a stupid question. When you zenithal, why do you go with the grey rather than a white please?

I don’t want it it to bright. I want the grim dark feel. So grey.

Before I go into fanboy mode, I just want to ask how close is that dark earth paste to Stirland Mud? Cause I have loads leftover from an old AoS project and I'm thinking I'll use that to start with on my Old World project but go over to the AK paste when that runs out. The one thing I love that they're doing is supporting ALL factions at launch. So I don't have to wait 4-5 years for them to do Skaven, I'll have a "Index" book that I can play games of with at my local club. The other thing I love is that they're going back in time to flesh out and improve/expand the lore and give us new characters and events that may have been forgotten about by the time the old setting comes about. I love that they're focusing on the 8 key factions and the narrative will eventually envelope all. Personally I can't wait for a campaign that starts with the end of the Skaven Civil War and the war between the rats, Dwarfs and Goblins begins. I've ordered 75 25mm square mdf bases off ebay and have begun construction of 10 Stormvermin, which will eventually expand into 20, to go along with Queek Headtaker, who is waiting to be highlighted, and lead a great force of Clan Mors and Pestilens allies. I of course will be collecting Bretonnia as well. My local store ran a slow build event running up to End Times and I started collecting a Bretonnian army. Started with the Green Knight and 8 Grail Knights. Expanded into a Battalion and my "Death Star" unit was a full unit of Battle Pilgrims with the Relique, man I loved that unit! Anyway, sorry for such a long post. I'll be joining you for the road to Old World and will be promoting the game on my channel as well.

All Great points pal. Maybe I will Get to play you skaven some Time at an event. I’m quite impressed with what they have said and shown so far. Thanks for taking the time. Appreciate it.

@sweatilaa5325 9 месяцев назад

In fantasy, didn't Bretonnia launch a crusade against Araby? So if you want to just make every knight in the same or similar color scheme then base it on that or a similar home brewed crusade or expeditionary force :) Otherwise, a simple way to keep them uniform but still being unique by showing what house they are from is to paint their shields and shield looking bits on the horse in different ways on each knight.

@MediocreHobbies 9 месяцев назад

That’s a great idea.

@MrNeelneel 9 месяцев назад

I JUST bit the bullet and got into AoS. Soulblight is scratching my Vampire Counts itch for the time being. I'm also really apprehensive to get into it if they are committing to resin. I'd just rather not. That being said, I know once the game settles into itself it will call me back. Fantasy was always #1 for me, but I'm not ready to jump in head first. Cautiously optimistic.

Nice i like the aesthetic. Tip for you, even though you prob arent bothered (sorry lol), if a horse is dark hair on its leg, its corresponding hoof will be dark. Likewise, if its leg is light, its hoof will be light. Love the work though

@VO31 6 месяцев назад

looks great! one question : why do you use two spray coats? Why not just grey seer?

@MediocreHobbies 6 месяцев назад

It sometimes doesn’t show up well on camera but it’s a solid coat of chaos black and a lighter coat from above of grey seer. Chaos black adds a lot of shadows and the grey seer adds lighter areas to help me block out colours better!

Hold up kingdom of heaven orlando bloom, he had two color schemes, first part of the movie he was baron of ibily and that was a red and tan color or off white cause desert and dust and dirt, later half of the movie he was defending Jerusalem with the leper ruler personal guard colors of blue white and gold. it gets a bit confusing due to multiple knights were shown in the movie with templars, hospitalers, Teutonic knights, even lion heart himself later towards the end. Not trying to be a jerk or a troll just some general information and hope it helps later if you do go with every unit gets to be different

@MediocreHobbies 9 месяцев назад

@dreadgarr 9 месяцев назад

your reason to delay the painting of your brettonians army, was almost same as mine to not do my nids.. I did not want to do them all in one color sceme.. so I looked at insect families, and spiders are all spiders BUT... they are very diverse in both shape and build as well in colors and such so I decided to do my nids squads in uniform colors but every different type of nid has a different side coloring them.. d.

@tp6498 5 месяцев назад

This knight came out fantastic, but.....isn't the whole point of using contrast paints to simplify and speed up the painting process when doing high volume projects? Going back over them with normal acrylics to do 1st and 2nd highlights seems to me to negate the speediness that the contrast paints were developed for. I cant wait to see your entire army completed but I also can't help but wonder if your actually benefiting time-wise by using the contrast paints at all. 👍 though for the awesome work!

@MediocreHobbies 5 месяцев назад

There’s more than one way of using contrast! I use it to apply a really quick base colour which is also the shadow colour. If I skipped the contrast stage it would take a few layers of the next coat to build a solid colour which would take way longer to do! Hope that makes sense? Glad you liked the knight!

He looks really cool, for me all the different heraldry of bretonnians is what turned me away from them their visual was always too disjointed for me. But different colours for each unit would be the way to go I think, as my favourite old world force was high elves and I really liked that each elite unit had its own defined look.

I started with fantasy back in 95 roughly. Might of been 94. Who knows anymore. I've got zero excitement for GWs inevitable shit take on rank and file rules. We already have Kings of War and Age of Fantasy to use our old models. Both games are much better than Warhammer ever played.

@MediocreHobbies 9 месяцев назад

I really don’t understand your point of view. Why don’t you want to see the rules and maybe try it out before you have such a negative opinion on it. I’m very excited for it.

@youtubevanced4900 9 месяцев назад

@@MediocreHobbies Because it's going to follow the same old GW policy. Do the absolute minimum whilst charging the absolute maximum. The game will almost certainly play poorly in comparison to alternatives. They will charge an arm and a leg for rules and army books that should be free. Post launch this game system is absolutely guaranteed to be basically abandonware as are all their games except 40k. See the HH as a prime example of what is going to happen to this new game system. The GW model these days is to drum up the hype with a saturation advertising campaign, release a big box set that is very expensive, release a few over priced books over the following months and then get ready for the next game system big box release. Inspires zero excitement. If content creators spent time shining a light on the alternatives, we collectively, could reduce the GW stranglehold on the tabletop hobby and have a much healthier and more fun tabletop hobby experience.
