The Grudge is that the Bretonnians commissioned the Dwarfs to build them a new castle, but they mistakenly forgot a single gold piece in the total payment to the Dwarfs, so in the book it goes and a War of Vengeance is required to settle the grudge.

Dang dude - you totally convinced me there at the beginning, I was like WAY TO F*CKIN GO JAY!!!

The grudge. A bretonian noble put his mug of ale on the dwarf kings head first accidentally, then intentionally.

The Grudge: During a harvest celebration, a group of Bretonnian squires got drunk, and snuck into the dwarven camp. As a prank they shaved the beard off of one of the dwarves. The next day war were declared, as they'd unknowingly shaved the beard of the dwarf kings brother.

1:58 ROCK AND STONE! YEAAAAH!

This is first old world army i've seen going around the RU-vid painting community so far that I have absolutely LOVED. Such a beautiful job.

“The Grudge” comes from an ancient fable the dwarfs tell, in which a Bretonian knight and a dwarf both embarked on a quest to save a princess from a dragon’s den. They got to the princess and were escaping when they were chased by the dragon. Crossing a bridge to safety, the princess went first but right as the dwarf and the knight were about to cross, the bridge fell to the void below. Without hesitation, the knight grabbed the dwarf and threw him across the chasm to safety and then the knight turned to face the dragon in combat. The knight was able to put the dragon down and eventually managed to get across the chasm by rapelling (just like primce charming at the beginning of shrek 2). But when he crossed to safety, he found his old companion bitter and betrayed. The proud dwarf was salty that the knight had taken all the glory for himself. To this day, when people of all races want to refer to the dwarfs in a derrogatory sense, they mimic the motion of throwing a sack of potatos and laugh at the dawrfs. The dwarfs now have a distaste for the bretonians, and still educate their youth to remember that “no one tosses a dwarf”

Love seeing old sculpts being painted up using modern techniques and skills

I did not expect a Deep Rock reference when I clicked on this video. Well played.

Youre the only person that has made dwarves actually look appealing to me, good job

The Grudge could be that a Bretonnian knight (maybe part of the Royal family) had a quest which ending in a Dragon being slain. That Dragon (Ve’goré) was the guardian to your Dwarves treasure. Great videos keep them coming. Terry

The Bretonians betrayed the Dwarfs. They agreed to ride out and fight for the dwarves against Blue Orcs and when the battle started they retired instead of riding forth. Causing the dwarfs to fight a losing rearguard action. Never Forget Koom Valley!

1:57 ROCK AND STONE!!!

I love the texture you have added to the Dwarfs, your painting just keeps getting better and better. The Grudge could be the Britonnians ran an advertising campaign that their beer is better than Bugmans Beer. The banner icon could be a Bugmans beer standing proud and crushing a knight XD

Very nice paint job on those Dwarves, Jay. I am surprised if GW doesn't really know you, as your channel has a very respectable following. Your experience shows in the quality of your work. Keep up the great work you do and thanks for sharing.

"Games Workshop has never heard of me.....but I do have a bunch of dwarves"

really looking forward to more dwarfs in the future! please keep up this project! Also I think that the brets made fun of the size of the dwarf's war pony for being small, and that went right into the book!

The Grudge. On a visit to Bretonnia by your young lord(centuries ago). He we out drinking with a bunch of Knights and got so drunk he passed out. When he awakened the next morning he found that the Knights had played a practical joke and shaved off his mustache. This is the grudge of the Hairless lip.

Gonna be a good day when you wake up and there is an EonsofBattle video! Great job Jay!

If you’re going against bretonnians, put you lord on some shieldbearers, and get some hammerers. Anything equiped with great weapons is your friend! So stoked to see you doing some old world! Also with some movement trays you can use your AoS Sylvaneth as wood elves in TOW too! Good luck!

I have a load of old dwarves all in grey, you’ve inspired me to bring out some of it. I loved the mining kit so much I have 4 I think.

I really cant wait till you get your flowers and be the face of us middle class hardworking hobbyists!!!

There's something about the look of warhammer fantasy armies that can't be beaten, and these dwarves look amazing! So excited to see what they all look like together!

You have convinced me to paint my dwarves! Looking forward to an update to this army!

something about this format reminds me a lot of berm peak, but minis instead of bikes. two great YT channels

Grudge suggestion - Following the defeat of Orc Invaders, the Bretonian and Dwarf allies hosted a huge celebratory feast. At the main table, sat the Dwarf lord and Bretonian Duke. As the feast hit midnight, the drunk Duke spilt his wine on what turned out to be the Dwarf Lord's precious heirloom table cloth. Enraged by the insult shown to his mother's table cloth, the Dwarf Lord immediately ends the feast and returns to his hold. The banners could reflect a split chalice of red wine with the moon in the background.

I am so excited to see this project continue. Absolutely love the colors you've chosen for them, looking forward to seein these guys give a grudgin.

Amazing. Finishing the leaders in an hour and looking that good is just inspired, thanks for sharing!

Jay you deserve to be seen by GW. I was so excited and relieved when you spun your tale. So sad when it was revealed to be a joke.

Wow, this might be my favorite paint job of yours. They look so vibrant, and the style looks like a ton of fun.

These look absolutely outstanding! It was worth any minute you spent on your dwarfies 🙌🏽😍

Ages ago, the dwarven ancestors faced a brutal invasion of their home that led to the fall of the dwarven empire, Karak Ankor. Desperate for aid, they sought refuge from the ancestor's of Sean's Bretonians. Perhaps perceiving the dwarves as outsiders or not comprehending the urgency of their situation, the Bretonians refused to offer aid and turned the dwarves away. Feeling betrayed and abandoned during the dwarves darkest hour a deep grudge was fostered against not only Sean's specific clan of Bretonians, but also the race as a whole. As the dwarves clawed back their identities and empire through grueling hard work and suffering (that could have been lessened with the aid of the Bretonians), they now have the strength to act on this grudge in the coming battles. I like this because its gives a reason for the tension using a historic in game background without it being too outrageous. Skavens and orcs are kill on sight because of their evil nature. That is to be expected of them because they are an evil race. The "noble" bretonians ought to have helped but they didn't. They are the reason that the rebuilding of the dwarven empire was significantly harder than it needed to be. This would create an environment that was hostile but not in open conflict until a breaking point occurred over something silly like trade agreements or a dwarven emissary overhearing the bretonian leaders make a joke about height.

The dwarves army box plus Thorgrim and a couple others was my first big comission, and second comission overall. This was super nostalgic for me! Thanks for the video Jay!

As a long-time user of Huge Miniatures products, it warms my heart to see you use them! These Dwarves look amazing, dude!

EoB is by far my favorite mini youtube channel, but you usually paint models I dont care about (and I watch them anyway). Seeing you paint square based fantasy is perfect!

Congrats on 200k subs, Jay and the rest of the EoB team. Your content is amazing - keep up the awesome work!

I'm new to painting minis and your skill is absolutely amazing. Learning so much from your videos!

This was so cool to watch. I've loved dwarfs ever since they were my main in Total War Warhammer, and it's nice to see new content about this old models.

These are so amazing! As a fantasy fan and long term hobbyist/collector/player this is so amazing you are doing these!

Cracking work mate. Love how easy you make this look.

Very nice paint job! Great seeing some dwarfs get some loving - they were my first army! Please paint up some more of these and perhaps have a short (1.000’ish) battle report on the channel. 😊

Your painting is getting fantastic Jay. Those cannons are superb

Old fantasy 5th edition player here and longtime subscriber-- thanks for the nostalgia and looking forward to seeing more of your Old World content!

Man, those dwarves look exceptional. Every color is brilliant, and the textures are so satisfying to look at. Perfect pick for the bases, also.

Really cool seeing you breath new life into those old minis.

These look simple but amazing. I'd love to see more!

Omg... Jay really had me going with that opening. The switch was perfect. X'D

For the grudge - an arrogant bretonnnian lord, while dismounting his horse, purposefully dismounted on the head of a noble dwarf. Afterwards, he said "Didn't notice you down there".

This was a really great video. I hope to see more videos about your growing Dwarf army.

loved this video dude your dwarfs look amazing its great to see old models come back to life.

These are awesome! Can’t wait to see the rest painted up!

Some of the best painting you've done and it happens to be on my favourite army!

Very cool. I have been collecting and now painting those old dwarfs. Btw your colour scheme is spot on!

I love seeing old minis getting brand new paint jobs

Woo!! Old World! Classic minis are awesome, and love the paint job!

I love the color scheme for your army the green compliments it so well

I am always stunned how fast you grind out those stunning minis! ❤

Love that you dipped into WHFB. Hope to see more projects in the future!

Love The Old World. These are looking great. Even the older models make such solid miniatures. I've definitely become more of a collector since they announced the re-launch.

Another great video, I would to see a fully painted up dwarf army! I think the old sculpts have some character and your paint scheme suits them like a glove.

Your paint job on those old, old little guys makes them shine. 👍

You have motivated me to finish my Dwarfs! As always, impressive work Jay.

These look incredible, they just read so well. Definitely worth the old models.

The Bretonnian noble said to the Dwarf lord: "How's it going down there?"

I'm so jealous of how you can just pick a new army and bam!, one video later army is finished.

Sweet oldhammer army project! Excited for more

Great video! Love the painting. I have had an idea for making bases for a while now : a bog! This will be great for a Death Guard army (when I'll start 40k some day). When I saw your ''Falls stuff'', the shredded and dyed foam, I immediately thought it was made for that... Hope this inspires you!

Definitely got me at the start, I was super excited for you Love the paint job and have been looking for a new base job for my armies, super cool the grudge: after the Bretonnian's pushed the greenskin waagh back to the worlds edge mountians, they trespassed on an ancient dwarf forge. Even though they cleared the den, the dwarfs accuse them of stealing their secrets of the forge.

Those look SO GOOD completed. Grudge minis are so much fun to reveal that first time you play the friend that you're grudging.

Oh wow they were totally worth painting. They look so amazing. Can we please have some more Warhammer Old World videos.

You had me on the first half ngl. One day Jay, one day...

This was a fun video! Thanks. I am keen to explore Kobold Keep's base options when I can, they look amazingly functional for my needs.

hell yeah! I love the old world and so excited its back!

Love cobalt keep stuff, my whole army is their bases

Those Dwarves are beautifully painted, it suits them so well

Those dwarves are gorgeous, absolute classic minis. Reminds me of my dwarf army from the 90s. It's gonna be a tough call between dwarves and goblins! Just like is was back then

I haven't finished the video yet but just noticed some warpaints fanatic in the background. Definitely plan on picking some of those up, especially if these greens were from them. Should be perfect for my DA

Those dwarfs look mazing, I love your painterly style. I'd love to see you continue with this range :)

Absolutley loved this video as someone who played Dwarves , back in the day. I didnt want to paint, but now, now i think im gonna try some non metallic metal, and scoure ebay for classic fantasy minis

Jay!! Thank you for giving Old World some screen time! I know you were on the fence about it. I'm also in the same boat with the "it's extra fun when I have to find that one mini from my childhood on eBay to complete my collection" nostalgia drive.

Awesome Dwarves... Totally worth the time to get painted up...

Very excited about this project! Keep us updated and i want to see thorgrim on the channel

Noice.... they turned out great..... the highlighting on the canons is 🔥.

Absolutely love the basing you do!!! Keep it up 👍 ❤

Awesome man congrats this brings back the nostalgia 😎

Wow great job with these. Love the bases too.

Totally worth it. Looks fantastic.

Dayum, great start and a cool paint job

For god sake, pleeeease paint more of the dwarfs in videos, it is my all time favourite army! 😍

I’ve put off collecting a dwarf army for 30 years because I couldn’t be bothered painting endless beards and chainmail but you know what, sack it I think I’m inspired.. to do a slayer army 😂 Cheers Jay!

The non metallic metal looks amazing! Love how the cannon looks!

Excellent job Jay!

I've been in a rut with my armies recently because I want them to be nmm but it's hard. Your way of doing it is interesting, going to start up on them again because of you

These look absolutely gorgeous

Seriously, this is one of my favorite videos of yours. All the multi-shot painting parts 4:53 are super informative and fun to watch. Also, I'm going to coin a new term here based off of your video. "Complementary Flocking Theory"™ "Complementary Flocking Theory"™ or CFT: When one applies the foundational understanding of color theory while evaluating the hues, values, and textures of candidate basing material such as static grass, foam, cork, dirt, et al. to achieve a visual unity and continuity between the miniature's color pallete and the miniature's base. Your demonstration of CFT at 12:55 is a pleasure to watch Now please get to paining that enormous pile of Dwarfs you dropped at the end. The painted lads need their mates so they can beat that 30 silver out of those thieving Bretonnians.

Awesome paint job! The grudge should be like, one of the knights horses bit or spat on a dwarf. Maybe one started eating a beard thinking it was hay. The Beard Nibble!

Come on GW, get on board with Eons and send Jay the entire Old World range! This channel is awesome.

Just a thought for basing. I use a green flock, wait for the glue to dry, then heavy drybrush with bleached (ushabti) bone to tone it down.

thanks for sharing!! really enjoyed!
