Warhammer: Bretonnia 9th Ed 1.2 out now!

This update contains a whooping 38 new pages, with a lot of graphical upgrades, and a near-completely new layout, which is the main reason this update has also taken a while. I have clarified the Lance Formation, which is still limited to being 3 wide. This keeps players from fielding huge deathstar units of Knights due to the improvements of the Lance Formation with this update.

This update changes the following:
  • New Special Character: The Hermit of Malmont
  • New Special Character: Amalric of Gaudaron
  • New Mount: Unicorn (for Prophetess)
  • Lance Formation gives Devastating Charge to all models that are allowed to fight, not just the front rank.
  • Characters that cannot be placed in the front rank may not join the unit, as per the normal rules for characters (except Damsels).
  • Questing Vow gives Immunity (Fear) rather than re-rolls.
  • Removed Disorganized Mob from army list.
  • Peasant Mob can be armed with spears and shields, flails, or slings.
  • Grail Pilgrims do not have light armour, WS2, 6 pts. Battle Pilgrim has WS3.
  • All Men-at-Arms units may have medium armour. Start with hand weapons, can buy shields, spears or halberds, 4 pts.
  • Mounted Yeomen can have medium armour.
  • Brigands can have medium armour, can choose between great weapons, crossbows or handguns.
  • Clarified that Priestesses of Shallya channel dice like Lvl 1 Wizards. They may not take magic weapons.
  • Sacrosanctum now casts a Bound Spell rather than an undispellable ability. Auto-channels one power dice. Have Ward save 4+.
  • Silvaron uses rules for WE unicorns.
  • The Green Knight may teleport through terrain pieces like in 6th ed.
  • Royal Hippogryphs and Royal Pegasus can take barding.
  • Included what lores the Damsel and Fay Enchantress can use in the bestiary.
  • The Fay Enchantress is an Infantry model by default, may choose Silvaron as a mount. Have a hand weapon. Have Morgiana's Mirror magic item. Favour of the Fay can be given to any model with the Blessing of the Lady. Her Supreme Blessing of the Lady gives +1 to the Ward save from the blessing.
  • Removed morning stars from the army list.
  • Field Trebuchets may pivot, are S5.
  • Models with the Peasant's Duty treat all friendly models with the Knight's Vow, Questing Vow or the Grail Vow within 6" as having the Inspiring Presence special rule.
  • Virtue of Empathy does not treat Peasants as Expendable.
  • Removed Flying Cavalry (bug).
  • Archers and Squires may take bucklers.
  • Clarified that a Prophetess on a Sacrosanctum replaces the Damsel.
  • Armand has a hand weapon instead of a shield.
  • Bombards can pivot on the spot, 75 pts.
  • Virtue of Heroism cost 35 pts.

  • Removed mention of Irresistible Force from Silver Mirror.
  • Chalice of Malfleur 15 pts.
  • Templar Crusaders give Hatred to any unit they join, can take Virtues.
  • Truffle Hounds are now placed in the unit's front rank, can be released like a separate unit. Have Frenzy, form their own unit after being released.

  • Removed Steadfast part on Banner of the Lady.

  • Spirits of the Fay are Infantry instead of Swarms.
  • Herrimaults 8 pts.
  • Squires 7 pts. Fixed stats for champion.

    1. Just a minor bug.
      -Amalric's Bane of the Undead special rule should also affect Vampiric units.

      1. Vampires are not Undead though, so they would not really crumble the same way as a skeleton would.

      2. Man! Where do I get this book?!

        This sounds EPIC!!!

        I'm an old school Bretonnian fanatic from way back. There seems to be a lot of love in this material for the old Bretonnian lore. Great work!
