====Bretonnia==== [[File:Breton.jpeg|right|thumb|400px|[[Bretonnia|Monty Python humans!]]]] {{Main|Bretonnia}} Bretonnia is the other major Human nation of the Warhammer world. Knights, chivalry, all that King Arthur bullshit. All while being pseudo-French nobles with pseudo-English peasants. With the addition of worshiping a Lovecraftian goddess in the guise of a bitch with a magic chalice that's manipulated by baby-eating forest elves to get the Bretonnians to do their bidding (the Brets don't know that last part though!). The peasants in Bretonnia somehow have it worse than the worst off peasants in the Empire since at least a peasant in The Empire has held a piece of currency at some point in their life. It's pretty much medieval France, only worse. They have a lot of knights, the lowest of which are Knights Errant who have turned into glory hunting idiots since they got their armor, then Realm Knights, then Questing Knights who seek the blessing of the [[Lady of the Lake]], and finally Grail Knights before whom the Lady appeared and let them drink from her magic chalice (hue hue hue). Peasants are almost completely useless both in crunch and fluff other than as archers or cannon fodder, except for the peasant monks that are in fact carrying a dead and skeletal Grail Knight as if he's alive. But, since they're more French than they are English, this does kinda make sense... Small numbers of Bretonnian women are considered blessed by the Lady enough to wield magic, but in truth most of them just have fey blood. Bretonnian culture is based on High Elf culture, since the Franks hid from marauding Daemons within the ruins of High Elf colonies while the world was in its very first apocalypse scenario. And while they were there they flipped through <strike>ancient tomes</strike> Elf childrens books depicting High Elf Silver Helms (AKA elfknights) killing Orcs and saving princesses and liked what they saw, inspiring them to put on a cosplay that never ended. Bretonnians used to be on the verge of conquering The Empire in older editions of the game, but that plot was dropped when The Empire was put front and center as the posterboys of the game. [[Ultramarines|40k fans may be able to relate.]] Bretonnian nobles are bred from "superior" stock from the rest of the Human race, and are attractive even by Elf standards. [[Space Marines|Completion of their training and their missions allows them to further enhance themselves with magic, making their bodies resistant to poison and mutation and all around tougher.]] [[Orks|Their faith is so powerful they're literally able to will bullets into being less damaging to them than arrows, and to perform reality-defying feats simply because they think they can.]] Too bad they worship an Elf*. Bretonnia is one of the more neglected armies in the game, once again proving the tradition that [[Sisters of Battle|any faction that makes frequent use of the Fleur-de-lys]] is on [[Games Workshop|GW's]] back burner.
