Thanks Victor! I am sure yours will turn out great. You have some wonderful painting skills and your understanding of color is definitely better than mine. Looking forward to seeing them when you get them on the painting table.

Stunning. Whenever I see your Bretonnians they always remind me of the L and F Funcken plates of the French chivalric Order of the Golden Fleece. There really isn't a big step between Fantasy and Historical.

Thanks Ralph! The 5th edition Bretonnians sculpted by the Perrys definitely have that 100 Years War look that I prefer. I like that they are not too fantastical. This project allows me to kill two birds with one stone in a way(fantasy as well as historical). I am not familiar with the plates you mentioned. Maybe they would offer me some inspiration. Could you share a link?

Hey Dan, I just found your channel through HeresyProducktionz. Fantastic work with those Bretonnians! I'm thinking of building up an Empire army myself, though I'm planning on using a lot of proxy models. If you're interested in proxies yourself, check out Fireforge Games; they have a lot of minis that look very Bretonnian, including pegasus knights I believe.
