Some pics from my 5th match- ty Matt “Doomscroll” for the pictures and the match!

It was my first win! Those grail knights really pull their weight, and did most of the fighting.

Peg knights did ok at first, ran down a unit of empire knights early, but they would be stopped and run down by the terrifying tank.

Still, a 1466 to 932 point win felt great :)

WIP Knights of the Realm on foot, mostly GW models and some third party models in there too.

This is the second time I’ve painted the GW ones. They were the first models I painted since I heard about Old World in July. I decided to repaint them to better match the style of all the other models I’ve painted since.

After doing all the sword and board guys in a red uniform, I’ve decided to do the great weapon guys with different colors, not unlike my mounted units. Dunno if I’ll do any quartering yet… probably not though.

Also stripping two more, one a swordsmen who I’m gonna try and turn into a great weapon guy, and the standard bearer.

WIP Bretonnian Knights of the realm.

A Highland Minis sculpt, printed by Imperial Miniatures, Decal designed by TokenHobbyist.

The model was meant to be a Knight Errant, that’s why it’s carrying a helmet. That type of unit is supposed to have no helmet, or a very simple one without decoration. I absentmindedly stuck the wrong head on the model… so I leaned into the mistake. That helmet he’s carrying is like, a family heirloom and his heraldry. Now he’ll be the new banner bearer of my Knights of the realm, once I finish with his base decorations.

Just finished the Highland miniatures unicorn. The GW damsel and her two horses are magnetized, so I can swap em back and forth.

6 Highland Miniatures “Gallia” mounted yeomen. I’m only going to use the 5 of them, without the command group. They’re basically 5 wounds that give my wizard the reserve move special rule :)

I don’t plan to use the command group or the other 2 spearmen in any lists, so they’ll move to the back of the to-do list.

New pile of shame to work through after some late night priming :)

I’ll admit I over ordered. Only needed 7 men at arms for my list.

I’m only gonna use 5 mounted men at arms probably. Their “reserve move” rule seems really useful, more so since I can stash a wizard with them.

10 knights errant, for if I ever revisit the Errantry Crusade list.

And a prophetess on a unicorn because… well unicorns are cool. Dunno if she’ll ever make it to my lists, but who knows that could change.

The peasants are probably gonna go to the front of the painting line.

All highland miniatures designs, printed by Imperial Miniatures out of Florida- probably the best shop on Etsy for 30mm prints.

Finished this today, although I kinda wanna revisit it. The thatched roof seems to be coming off, will need to glue it more I guess.

It’ll probably wait, gotta pile of shame to work through

Finishing touches on my trebuchet: added some bits made by Mungo’s Marvelous Minis. Including a mini of my little dog Rocco :)

[matts-bretonnians]

My 3 Pegasus Knights, I painted these months ago- but I just finished painting some bits for them: command group items attached with magnets. 🧲

[matts-bretonnians]

I’ve been painting up these GW peasant bowmen, some to match the highland minis “Sherwood archers” I painted a month or two ago. Probably more than I’ll ever need.

Feels kinda weird that the GW batch has two champion type models. I first bought them back in 6th edition fantasy, don’t remember what those rules were like

[matts-bretonnians]

Just finished the basing, a good wash does so much work :)

Pretty happy with him, just gotta fit him into a list now. Hippogryph’s cost a ton of points

[matts-bretonnians]

Knights of the realm unit finished…. For now. I’m kinda generally ignoring the highlight stage I guess.

[matts-bretonnians]

Last questing knight I plan to paint… still have a few more highland minis, but that’s more than I’ll ever use in a match. Might go back to try and paint the green stuff showing, but I feel they’re table ready

[matts-bretonnians]

I like him now that it’s had its wash :)

Might be going a bit overboard on the tufts with these last 2 questing knights. I don’t plan on using these “deadland” tufts for any other unit, help distinguish them from other types.

Feeling pretty good about these gentlemen, will have the trebuchets base on Thursday hopefully.

[matts-bretonnians]

Feeling pretty good about this one. I’m gonna do a wash of Agrax Earthshade over the ropes, maybe the stones and the sling too.

If you were to put a miniature dog on this somewhere, where would that be?
