Welcome to the Warhammer Armies Project, the home of the unofficial 9th Edition for Warhammer Fantasy Battles and the most popular unofficial army lists online. It will gradually be updated with new books in a rules-only format. It also serves as my hobby blog for my personal Warhammer collection.

Full colour Bretonnia update out now!
Didn't even take me the whole week! Apart from being full colour with a lot of new artwork and a scaled down fluff section (though I only removed about 50 pages, not 80), this version also contains a bunch of balance changes, as follows:

ReplyDeleteI'll take that as a compliment ;)
DeleteOverall I like the changes you have made but I do have some queries about it too.
ReplyDeleteThe priestesses of Shalya seem really strong - 4 bound spells plus channelling for 35pts is incredibly cheap plus magic items access for a dispel scroll - they seem too strong to me.
Also I'm not sure why you removed so many of Bret's magic items, why narrow down hero build options?
I do like alot of the ideas you've added to the army list though and you've done a great job with it all. Do you have any suggestions for miniatures to use for the extra units? I guess ghosts painted green would do for Fey spirit swarms
Well, compared to an Empire Warrior Priest (65 pts) they have neither fighting capability, not do they bestow Hatred on their unit. They only have their spells, which takes away dice from the Damsel's pool if used. As they are not Wizards, they cannot carry dispel scrolls either.
DeleteTheir magic items are trimmed down because that's how GW have made their army books in 8th ed. Each army only have 10 items at most nowadays.
As for models to use, any medieval models will do really. Generic foot knights can be found at Black Tree Design or Wargames Foundry, Reaper have tons of suitable character models and so on. Only problem I can think it would be the Hippogryph Knights, but there are several companies that make models for that too, just needs some green stuff and a KotR to stick on top.
Thanks for the pointers as to suppliers, I've never heard of reaper before but they do a good range of nice miniatures I see.
ReplyDeleteGW cutting back on the magic items is kind of annoying but I guess that's why you have dropped some of the items then.
Yup, that's the way the pendulum swings these days. I did keep most of the items though, only now they are carried by the special characters.
