Editing Warhammer Army Project/Bretonnia (section)

===Buying Your Army===

Update: for those devout neckbeards that want to stick to games workshop minis Cawdor from Necromunda make excellent peasants and monks with some conversion.
Empire pistoles using bits from Cawdor like the heads and spears and shields from empire or Sigmarmarines make great yeomen. If you watch eBay a lot you can find bits but if you don’t want to wait, forgeword has the bright crusader upgrade kit which gives you knight-looking heads and torsos and the tokens in the set can make great standard-bearers with some brass rod using a drill bit. Sigmarines -sequitors the ones with robes make great foot knights although they tower over regular troops. Lord of the rings minas Tirith trebuchet is perfect for obviously the trebuchets. The new luminary aelf cavalry with head and shield swaps would make decent Bretonnia cavalry- Maybe influenced by Araby.
If you can find wings (really hard to find wing bits on eBay from Games Workshop) knight Pallador(the Sigmar guys riding giant gryph hounds) make a great Pegasus.
Lord Arcanum on Tauloron is a great Hypogryph. Hardly any conversion is required.
The new lumineth chick on foot with the giant chalice is a perfect damsel on foot.
Wood elves: sisters of the thorn and the great stags they ride would make the best or closest to mounted damsels [lol sexual pun not intended]
Using the two-handed swords from the empire great sword kit- usual bits from eBay but if you get the kit the heads are great for knights, you can convert the lumineth cavalry into questing knights.
Sigmarines have a lot of holy-looking heads and iron halos so you can make a bit of them with the lumineth cavalry to make grail knights. btw this army will be expensive as all Games Workshop shit is but all of the models are ace and will look amazing all converted and painted so don’t be too discouraged.

Unfortunately, GW had booted most of all its human knights (for now), can still use flagellants as Grail Pilgrims, and remount AOS Remlord horses with human parts.

There is an alternative for those who love mass conversions for themed armies and that is the "Legion of the Grail Damned" route. 

Basically, you can use a large chunk of the Undead models from Mantic Games' Kings of War game as undead Bretonnians, they're way fucking cheaper than GW prices, they look very similar to French Medieval armour designs and the models can cover most of your unit types: the Trebuchet, Grail Reliquary, Pegasus Knights, Lords and Prophetess/Damsels of the Lady are the only ones you can't do, or rather you can but the model designs look less like fallen from grace and more like actively embracing the dark side.

Another route for obtaining cheap knights is [[fireforge]] games. They do; Teutonics (KOTR or Grail knights), Templars (KOTR or Errants), Mounted Sergeants (Yeomen) and Sergeants on foot (MaA/Bowmen as each pack comes with 24 crossbows) each box has decent size units (12 knights per pack and 48 infantry per pack), what makes it even better you say? They are also PLASTIC and come with a fuckton of extras for conversions (Questing knights?). All in all a perfect way to say fuck you GW! Although smaller than current GW plastics (what isn't?) they do scale perfectly with OOP bretonnians who can also be bought dirt cheap off eBay and used as grail knights... just an idea. Whilst I'm shamelessly plugging other miniature companies I have used in my own collection (proof) i might as well give a shout out to the lazy forger who does the best (and cheapest in terms of appearance at 10 euros) trebuchet on the market.

Another good thing to remember; if you use 3rd party miniatures in GW stores staff members will tell you to fuck off out the door and ban you, all before your models get out of the carry case. However, Perry Miniatures do some War of the Roses and Hundred Years War miniatures that you *might* be able to pass off as GW archers- just don't draw attention to them. Actually, who gives a shit, it's not like you'll play in a GW store anymore.
