Bretonnian Knights of the Realm Painted with Warpaints Fanatic from The Army Painter.

Bretonnians! Painting some old 6th edition Warhammer Fantasy minis to test out some brand new paint! These Bretonnian Knights of the Realm from 2004 have been revived for Warhammer The Old World, and I just got a box of new paint in the mail thats in need of testing! I want to try out a bunch of pretty colors and paint up a front line of Bretonnians for a cavalry charge. Back in my day, Bretonnia was the "enemy army" arrayed against my Greenskins, but I still like them :-)
The paint is Warpaints Fanatic from The Army Painter, which is the replacement for their original formulation of Warpaint. Disclosure, I received this paint as a free review sample ahead of release. I briefly played a role as an alpha tester on this paint.
The review so far is that Warpaints fanatic is a big step up from the original warpaint. I can confirm that the beading on the first coat is the fault of the Behr primer and not the warpaint! ;-)

Behold the Citrus Knight, Slayer of Scurvy - excellent paint job on these, Goobs

[@Isteak80]

I nearly spat out my coffee when I heard Brent say that white primer can narc on you at times. It is the most unexpected but true statement of the day.

[@GoobertownHobbies]

oh yeah, white primer is totally a narc. terracotta is cool.

[@Bakecrusto]

Whenever I get overly zealous about trying to achieve the best results, stressing out over perfect blends and color theory, your videos help remind me of the most important thing in this hobby: to have fun, and enjoy what you're doing, from start to finish. You radiate all the positive, chill energy that got me into this hobby in the first place, and I'm thankful for that. Also, really like your Bretonnians, they look wonderfully retro (in a good way); I love how much color Bretonnian armies (almost) always bring to the table, even if I don't collect them myself - they embody the fact that medieval times weren't all brown and yellowish-green, there was so much color all around!

[@GoobertownHobbies]

Hey thanks! yupyup, the trick is just to relax and put some pretty colors on some models :-)

[@lynxstorm]

Great, chill video! The number of cat snuggle-drivebys was very appreciated :)

[@CoryCollects]

It's so good to see the miniature painting community diving into Bretonnians and Tomb Kings lately! It's fantastic how these classic miniatures are getting the love they truly deserve!

[@GoobertownHobbies]

I had a lot of fun with Bretonnians in my youth, I'm glad that they're getting brought back for at least a few weeks! ;-)

[@p-thor]

This is such an amazing paint job. You could if you wanted to make a second video going over them to do any free handing for heraldry and deeper shading/highlights.

[@cheeserdane]

Im just a weird boy in this mad world. Looking for color ideas

[@VAwitch]

​@@GoobertownHobbiesmy Brets are currently Technicolor knights with mostly 1 scheme for the peasants, but with the change to the lore, I'll be painting my future/additional knights to represent my chosen territory.

[@dsprocks]

​@@VAwitchThat's the fun of it, you can make up your own lore and choices to go along with it such as my Imperium units which are all Christian heretics that believe in Jesus Christ and reject that the emperor is god, and fight for the good of humanity because in this alternate universe the second coming still hasn't happened. I just need to find little cross decals to put on all their shoulder pads now.

[@KnightofBretonnia]

This is the most love Bretonnia has gotten in years and it makes me so happy. It's so great seeing everyone painting up my favorite faction where it used to be a content desert to find anyone painting bretonnians in their videos!

[@GoobertownHobbies]

yup! It's nice when your favorite minis get a bit of spotlight hehehe

[@iskiebae]

The grass effect on the bases came out really well!

[@GoobertownHobbies]

not bad eh? I might have to use that recipe again!! 🙂

[@morganw.4711]

I love how you walk through your color choice process and how you approach painting such a diverse group of characters! Goobertown is a good place to be.

[@GoobertownHobbies]

thanks for hangin out here 🙂

[@sussy_6998]

Love the individuality and the matt finish of the paint job.

[@xgymratx83]

Citrus Knight? More like Sir Sherbert Knight. I'm all for it. Lovely video!

[@adamf2977]

Bretonnian Knights and cats - two of my favourite things!

[@brothercaptain]

Loved seeing the new fanatic line of paints in action. Bonus points for copious cat cameos.

[@AvocationNation]

OMG THE PINK AND PURPLE KNIGHT OF HEARTS I LOVE THEM

[@Mara999]

These look so good! Bretonnians are among my favourite Warhammer-armies that I didn't actively collect at the time.

[@GoobertownHobbies]

thanks! I played against bretonnians a lot, and I like them :-)

[@andrewantretter4279]

I always struggled with these color schemes. Thanks for the tips!

[@GoobertownHobbies]

I believe in you :-)

[@SirGambitRocks]

Massively impressed by how well that yellow came out

[@GoobertownHobbies]

not bad, eh? :-)

[@kyledawson8336]

I think the bowmen, you painted over twenty years ago, have a real charm about them.

[@GoobertownHobbies]

hey thanks! a lot of folks used that scheme, but I still like 'em :-)

[@johnnnysilverhand9819]

For the Lady! Very nice Bordeleaux color scheme.

[@panimauser970]

I love how bright they are!💖

[@GoobertownHobbies]

thanks, me too hehehehe 🙂

[@henrikhasell4470]

Nice to see a new video Brent!

[@spilledpaintpot]

I absolutely love these, and Sir Citrus can be my champion any day!

[@GoobertownHobbies]

oh yeah, always bet on citrus.

[@Nekorook]

this was a great way to show off the new paint line. thank you!

[@GoobertownHobbies]

right on, thanks for checking it out! 🙂

[@MiniatureRealms]

I really enjoyed how good the nice simple schemes you’ve chosen look. Really tempted to give Fanatic a go as well, they look very interesting.

[@LordSquee]

I love to see the bigger brushes for the base coating. Get that paint on there, then switch down to something more manageable for the seventy eight million shades of brown you need for the quivers.

[@simmonslucas]

this year more than most, we need your chill vibes videos!

[@GoobertownHobbies]

hang in there 🙂

[@justarandomname420]

Im stoked you are working with AP. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[@jamesn2830]

Man I bet painting brettonia is a ton of fun. The knights are a perfect opportunity to try multiple schemes out in a single army. I’d probably do a half and half approach where half the heraldry is the same across every model to show their allegiance to a common banner. There’s loads of ways to approach that though. Cool video

[@GoobertownHobbies]

oh they are fun! I've been considering trying several with the same colors but different patterns / heraldry. many many options :-)

[@MarkCMG]

Thanks for the video! Nice use of colors. Those turned out well. I never thought of doing the bases early in the painting, always did it last. I might have to try it the other way around.

[@GoobertownHobbies]

oh yeah, give it a try! you'll need to touch the bases up a bit later on, but the context really helps if you're figuring out the paintscheme as you go :-)

[@kaz9357]

Great video Brent! Always happy to see a new goobertowns video out!

[@TrepidDestiny]

Well done. My paint box is currently at capacity, but when the time comes for refills, I might give army painter another chance.

[@GoobertownHobbies]

It's a massive upgrade from their previous line... which puts it on-par with most of the other good miniature paints out there. The best part about the new line is that beginner painters are more likely to get a quality set of paints when they're starting out! :-)

[@Dummythxc]

I always enjoy the cat cameos so much

[@Ryadic]

I would love to see more videos like this experimenting with different primers. I always see these in store and wonder.

[@FelasPol]

Brent, will you ever bring back painting random mini with random paint scheme? It was my favorite series, that gave me a lot of confidence and motivation.

[@GoobertownHobbies]

indeed! there are a couple of those amongst my drives filled with half-finished videos. someday, someday! :-)

[@augustusgraham3112]

I love the background music! Another great video from the mayor of Goobertown!

[@a.gravemistake3061]

You know it's gonna be a good video when a cat's in it from the first second.

[@GoobertownHobbies]

unavoidable :-)

[@Anthoninoatletico]

Loved to watch and chill with your video near my poor young relative's bed at the hospital at night.

[@GoobertownHobbies]

Sending love your way ♥

[@03dashk64]

Really love the Citrus Knight and Autumn Knight! It would be cool to see a group of peasants in each knights colors. Or a few peasants in each. Tie the levy into the nobleman!

[@NiceHulk]

Loving the backstory of the mighty Citrus Knight! As well as the pretend riding of the horse at 10:42

[@Andrew-ns3su]

Awesome video on painting knights. You've given me some ideas on how to go about doing mine now.

[@GoobertownHobbies]

nice! have fun 🙂

[@nozyspy4967]

OH MY GOODNESS YES! Literally the perfect combination of old World models and new paints that I was super interested in. Thanks Brent!

[@WatchItPaintIt]

They look bloody great Brent. Lovely video!

[@GoobertownHobbies]

hey thanks pal(s)! :-)

[@MiniatureMisfit]

@@GoobertownHobbies Thank you, and I'm surprised you remembered me, it's been a few years!

[@jonathanore8110]

Love the era-appropriate sky blue background on some of these shots.

hehehe, yupyup! that's the macromat from tablewar, quite useful sometimes!

[@REfan2002]

I love your kitties. The paint schemes look fantastic.

[@bonedead789]

Always get inspired to paint when I watch your videos!

[@GoobertownHobbies]

that's the spirit! now go paint something 🙂

[@juhanisuominen7719]

Nice one that Knight that has flag of Finland in his flag and shield.

[@amandaf4720]

Brent's cats are so polite. Mine would just slam his head into my hand for pets and not care that he was messing up a painting project.

[@rallyfeind]

Citrus Knight is a win. The Scourge of Sour.

[@alecroller2154]

Your videos always inspire me and help me realize that there's nothing so overwhelming that you can't just get started, thank you for always giving such good vibes and awesome work! A new Goobertown video is a great day indeed :D

[@andrew182matches]

This is awesome! I just got my Old World set of Bretonnian knights a few days ago and have been assembling them. I'm so glad you made a video using the Fanatic line on them so I can get some ideas. I can't wait for pre-orders to start shipping!

[@GoobertownHobbies]

oooh, have fun painting knights!!! :-)

[@j.taylor7361]

I love how your cat has photobombed your video with its butt several times, but you refuse to acknowledge it. You’re a true professional!😅

[@GoobertownHobbies]

Hehehe I'm used to it :-)

[@WillReynolds88]

Great colour schemes! I loved the video

[@DPSAX95]

bro, your channel is therapy.

[@SaraGrapes]

Thanks so much for the Terra Cotta primer tip! My new minis look so much more cheerful than classic black/white zenithal!

[@GoobertownHobbies]

glad to hear it! terracotta is definitely a useful color :-)

[@ryankempey2746]

These look awesome - great job!

[@metajock]

Really good vid. I've got a huge number of mounted minis to paint, so this'll took a lot of my worry away. Thanks!!!

[@GoobertownHobbies]

I believe in you! Cavalry takes a while to paint, but it's worth it :-)

[@luvrofwaffles]

At 9:49 when your cat is rubbing their face on the light :D

[@dirigoallagash3464]

These look great, Brent! Good stuff.

[@GoobertownHobbies]

hey thanks, John! :-)

[@vashoom]

Literally about to start painting my Bretonnians and was hit with major decision paralysis. Perfect video to see a bunch of combinations in practice!

[@GoobertownHobbies]

Ooooh, have fun!!! :-)

[@KabinMiniatures]

They turned out great! I love the vibrant colours and the different coats of arms. Good idea with using some standardised colours between them 👍

[@GoobertownHobbies]

thanks!! 🙂

[@vee_tinymoose]

Yay for a Goober video!

[@chrisherbert9924]

Really liking the knights

[@mini_maven]

The Green Knight is my favorite!

[@GoobertownHobbies]

wooo!! green knight!! :-)

[@RyanEdwardsVA]

Good lord Snuffles was desperate to be part of this process! Maybe she likes the smell of horses? And seeing Gordon rubbing his face on the lamp got me good. So silly.

[@GoobertownHobbies]

snuffles may have been hungry... gordon is just silly :-)

[@theanimaster]

This paint job is top-notch! The black lining is so clean it almost looks printed!

[@GoobertownHobbies]

hehehe, thanks!! :-)

[@billdefranza4927]

I love this video. Especially the shot of your orange cat claiming your lamp as their own. 😂

[@GoobertownHobbies]

cat-shaped shadows on everything :-(

All hail the land of Citrus!

[@GoobertownHobbies]

this guy gets it!

[@OkieDokieCreations]

No matter what your favorite game setting is it’s hard not to like the Calvary. Especially when painted so well and fun!

[@GoobertownHobbies]

yup yup! but dang cavalry take a long time to paint! :-)

[@donaldxavier2056]

I have been a fan of Bretonnians for 20 years. I am glad to see them make a comeback and get some love on youtube. Great video!

[@GoobertownHobbies]

absolutely! bretonnian knights were always the "enemy" army against my greenskins, but I like them anyway :-)

[@foldionepapyrus3441]

As a guy who did very much like the old world and Bretonnia I wish I could be glad... But as the reason they are making a bit of a comeback is rubbish with too many factions missing, including almost all of my and my friends armies. Plus not even any nice Cold-one riders or fun nutty chaos dwarf to come, and those minis always where epic even when you didn't like the army as a whole.. Still I guess it might motivate me to finally finish my Brettonian army - even went through the effort to make a customised mount (hippogriff) for it along with heaps of filing to remove most of the mold limitations on the horses, but far as I can recall I've not actually finished painting any of them before I put them away with the death of the old world.

[@GoobertownHobbies]

@@foldionepapyrus3441 I'm not buying any new stuff, but it seems like a fine occassion to pull some choice minis out of the pile and celebrate the good 'ol days. Paint some Cold Ones, have fun with 'em! Better yet, print some cold ones

[@foldionepapyrus3441]

@@GoobertownHobbies ​ Indeed. My thoughts as well. I'd love to paint some more Cold ones, if only to see how far my skills have atrophied over the last decade or so... But Citadel will have to work very hard creating some really impressive Mini that would really tickle my fancy and somehow get it across my path... So many great digital sculptors out there, other great mini producing companies and usually with far better searchability for the sort of mini you want..

[@verergoca]

Aaahh, so many flashbacks to making up colourschemes on the fly while keeping the whole army tied together! 😅

[@GoobertownHobbies]

always a good challenge! thanks for watchin :-)

[@VAwitch]

Thank you for both the humorous but true comments about primer effects on your painting, as well as exposing the size of brushes you used. Very helpful for returning players like me, where there are so many more options than in 2014 when I stopped playing.

Always a pleasure to see a new goobertown video on my feed ! And while i like seeing you test out stuff, will you do some random minis again ? I love how you find a way to have a fun paint scheme even if the prompt seems hard ❤️ Thank you for the vidéos and the kindness you put into them.

I think an aquatic-themed heraldry would look good on the blue and green knight.

[@GoobertownHobbies]

agreed! maybe a nice crab :-)

[@adammoore251]

Great work Brent. I hate the ugly phase. You should put a fish on his shield.

[@GoobertownHobbies]

a fish would look awesome :-)

[@goforitpainting]

Cool as always. 👍

[@tutubeater1]

Fantastic job, finishing up an entire unit of UNIQUE cavalry in an efficient matter, Brent!!!

[@GoobertownHobbies]

thanks! cavalry still takes a long time to paint, no matter what! :-)

[@Derlaid]

I think one of the strengths of warhammer fantasy and square bases is that while individual models might not have the best paint job, ranked up the whole unit almost always look spectacular in a way that is sometimes lost with round base games.

[@GoobertownHobbies]

agreed! I love a good rectangular unit :-)

[@Bluecho4]

2:30 On the subject of horses, Goonhammer recently did an article all about painting horse miniatures. The various broad varieties of horses, and how to go about painting their various colors. A good, well-researched resource of wargamers.

[@davidmunoz2176]

I really dig the paint scheme you pick out for most of your minis and these were super cool! A lot of bright kind of cartoony colors but they look awesome.
