Make a Medieval Jousting Tournament in Miniature! | Classic Warhammer Bretonnians

[@dartfast]

These kinds of scenes chock-full of character and millions of little details were one of my favorite things to drool over when browsing the old White Dwarf magazines. Super impressive stuff and I bet it was so much fun to do, too

[@Quisiio0303456]

I REALLY REALLY LIKE THIS!!!! I'm gonna kitbash some Brite Minis to make my knights. And make a special one for each one of my family memebers.

[@Craftlngo]

The pellet with the poison's in the vessel with the pestle. The chalice from the palace has the brew that is true. Ah medieval Tournaments!

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

Lovely! But now I want to watch Rocket Robinhood

[@MatthewCharmanadventures]

"My other steed is a Hippogryph!" Seriously mate, this is so lovely to see and so inspiring for fellow Old World fans. I love how you've actually detailed where you got the different models from. You see Highland Miniatures Bretonnians, incidentally?

[@bugnazbinnyking1198]

Yeah that was a cool feature. Ral Partha is a name I'd forgotten existed, and I didn't know the Perry twins were doing their own stuff ✅

[@Bluecho4]

@@bugnazbinnyking1198 Oh yeah, Perry Miniatures puts out all kinds of great historical models. I've been eying their medieval stuff for Bretonnian or Cities of Sigmar forces, and their various kits are used heavily in the Sludge and Turnip28 scene for "bleakpowder" kitbashing purposes.

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

I have seen em, yet to order any. I have several times made like a $200 dollar cart on their site then chickened out since i have so many unpainted bretonnians already. Maybe this xmas 🎅

Great vid Eric. I thoroughly enjoyed this!

[@sgtapache7729]

You can just feel, that this was produced with love and passion. Absolutely fantastic content, Eric! Thank you for providing us with these inspiring videos.

[@willgeier1747]

I love how you build a compelling and interesting world while painting each miniature.

[@thra-x1855]

it's not even complete and it's one of the best things of the sort that ive ever seen! fantastic!

[@graefx]

Everything looks incredible. This is the vibe I remember from old wargames. I've been looking forward to an update on your knights since the last video

[@plaidpvcpipe3792]

I am pumped for the next episode.

[@BillMakingStuff]

that flag and pencil trick is great! good video mate!

[@Azmodai34]

Wow this took me back to the first ever white dwarf #215 I bought with the free jousting game !

[@Necrontyr121]

That's the one! I couldn't remember the number of it. TY!

[@HacksawsHobbyBunker]

Brilliant. I especially like that you have done a wonderful job of relating the actual historical context of the event and the people who lived it. The figures, painting, and crafting are, as usual, excellent. I think the rather worn down minstrel looks like Jack Palance. ;-) And in my youth I wore the quartered black and gold livery, so an extra +1 for pleasant flashbacks. Cheers!

[@Miscast]

Wow dude, I could have sworn that thumbnail was from an old white dwarf. wow wow wow

[@sglenny001]

Hi funny seeing you here

[@4plainlimbs]

I see those jetbikes at the end. Eldar jousting arena next time too?

[@hyperbene7711]

You have a knack for detail, both in your craft and in the presentation of historical context. The hoofprints in the dirt... eye-popping! The tales of each character, too, left me smiling. Great video!

[@Necrontyr121]

This is so cool, Eric! I think I still have the jousting rules from WD from way back. Waiting to see more!

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Full tilt by nigel stillman in white dwarf 215! I will be going into it next week :)

[@Necrontyr121]

@@EricsHobbyWorkshop If you're looking for collaboration ideas, you could invite some of your favorite KZbinrs/friends to paint up their own "Knight Character and Retinue" and invite them to the tourney!

[@dancingpotplant]

Had just popped on specifically to see if someone had already made this suggestion.

[@Necrontyr121]

@@dancingpotplant I seriously hope it happens!

[@jez538]

Dude your videos bring me back to the days of reading white dwarf magazine terrain tutorials when I was a kid, maybe one day I'll get back into the hobby. Until then I will keep enjoying your content.

[@CampaignTerrain]

The interconnectedness of the entire gathering is super impressive, Eric. So are the scale, scope, and talent. Great job

[@craigstephenson1050]

This screams Full Tilt from White Dwarf, which inspired me to want to collect Brets way back (never did get enough of them). I love all the extra characters you built into it from the other lines, awesome stuff!

[@nickvictor861]

The assortment of minis is fantastic and I’m looking forward to seeing the completed scene.

[@elflass5544]

As a Renaissance Faire enthusiast of many years, I really appreciated this scene and all the figures! Also the details like purple being a rare color (true: it was associated with royalty because it was so expensive until mauveine/aniline purple dye was invented in the 1850s). Great job!

[@lord_duckian9521]

I love the accurate historical commentary over this, and it's clear you've actually done in depth research into it and your heraldry knowledge, hope to hear more of it over more images of your awesome bretonnia miniatures

[@zachmartin1210]

I just told my wife that i'm pretty sure this is the coolest miniatures video i've ever watched. awesome stuff

[@StuffedCrows]

I really love how animated this video is. It's very clear how excited and passionate you were about this.

[@bendushane7882]

I loved how you did the tents never thought of doing them that way

[@plaidpvcpipe3792]

4:50 Definitely looks like Sir Ian McKellen

[@Kirk.t.g]

What a classic feel! Can't help but notice those mighty fine looking fences keeping the rabble back from the fray! Looking forward to the next part!

Matching Pavilions to Knights 10/10

[@hoelwiesner710]

This was fantastic and looks to have turned out beautifully. Great job!

[@KnightsOfDice]

What an amazing project! I love the attention to ALL the details, and there's a lot of detail! The brush handle trick to help keep the wave pattern in the pennants is genius!

[@valtsu5752]

I completely lost my mind when you did the hoof prints on the ground. Absolutely brilliant.

[@charmedimsure8852]

The hoof prints! Great attention too detail, I would never have thought of it. First class Eric

[@toothlessmanticore3220]

Eric! The hoof print trick at the end is just brilliant! Kudos!

[@H12Oz]

The Perry sculpt at 04:42 reminds me of Michael Gambon in The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover!

[@scardoesart]

I love this so much, jousting tournaments always have had a special place in my heart and you did an outstanding job here

[@samsteen700]

This is so fully my jam I can't handle it. It's just the best! Well done!

[@perrygrosshans8537]

Another amazing video! So much goodness to take away from this. First off, I will say again I love your Bretonnians and I love that you painted the bases in the old green base style. Also, thank you for sharing where many of those townsfolk miniatures came from! Those are very cool. (Reaper miniatures have made some fantastic townsfolks miniatures over the years). The terrain, top notch. I like how you used coffee stir sticks instead of just carving the foam, although I think carving would look very cool (doing foam railings is a pain though, lol). The tents! Now I need to get some shop towels, lol. Mel the Terrain Tutor had a technique using baby wipes which I've done, and that material is excellent if anyone is looking for other ways to do tents. The pitch!! Magnificent! Those hoof prints! WHAT!? Seriously, inspired and so simple. Amazing and gorgeous! Can't wait for the second part and the big showcase!!

[@tappajavittu]

Seeing those old cool Bretonnia minifigs make me happy.

[@andrewsjurseth2517]

The hoof prints in the mud are genius.

[@tyleroser826]

This is a very great build I really love the world building you made and the classic colors and I was impressed by the research about jousting it made me feel I was at the ren fair again very well done

[@zealman18]

Eric man what an excellent video- from the depth of the history to the editing and even the soundtrack. This is some seriously high quality content, both entertaining and informational. Honestly man, great work! Really glad to be a subscriber!

[@BlindedbyDaylight]

What a great build! The wood glue and paper towel pennants are inspired, as are the tents. Amazing stuff. Patiently waiting for part 2

[@josegasset6068]

This is your best video ever. I’ve watched it like 10 times, not only is the build fantastic but the pacing and organization of it too. Fantastic work!

[@ryanofottawa]

Realy enjoyed this. I love how you bring narrative into the miniatures while you're modelling.

[@ianalexander7082]

I really enjoy the way you stroke the paint on to your minis. You have a super laid back brush technique!

[@hewlett-packardlovecraft2297]

Gotta say, you're quite the talented painter. I am aware your channel is almost exclusively terrain content, but the odd painting tutorial might be a welcome addition. Just a thought. Really liked getting to see the old Ral Partha stuff, as they were still a pretty big deal when I first started painting in the early 90's, and the shop towel tents are truly fantastic. Will be here with bells on waiting for the next one, and enjoy the rest of your week.

[@drfang68]

Dang dude! I cann't tell you how much I

[@looselycollected7505]

I know I recall there being rules for a Bretonnian tournament game in an issue of White Dwarf from back in the 90's. It came with cardboard fold out stands as well as the tilting rail.

[@1986fritzthecat]

you really did those old bret's justice in the paintjobs

[@madelinemcmurtry9972]

So smart to wet the paper towels to make the tents look more like fabric. You should make a TikTok account, your construction videos are so satisfying to watch :)

[@MineLapseTC]

The very first thing I thought when that one miniature was on screen was "That looks like Ian McKellen!" Glad you agreed.

[@tabletop.will.phillips]

Damnit, it totally does look like Ian McCellan. But that one-legged minstrel from Grimforge? *chef's kiss*

[@jedimindtrick8966]

Straight out of the dreams of young jedi mindtrick

[@dariusrook2592]

Please do the same project in a grim dark 40k setting! Getting or converting the Miniatures will be a real challenge.

[@kaihumml1872]

That's a beautiful and detailed work. Looks fantastic so far. Sometimes when I see things made in your and other creators videos I finding myself scratching my head "That's so easy!" Looking forward to the second part!

[@MarinStipkovic]

Loved this! I think my favourite piece are the banners on the viewing stands. Simple but very effective tachnique!

[@Berserkerworks]

This is the good stuff. Classic minis, classic terrain. I'm getting late 90s early 00 White Dwarf article nostalgia!

[@taylorgulledge3858]

I've just discovered your channel recently and you've inspired me so much. I'd never heard of Full Tilt and now I'm basing a whole d&d campaign around it.

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Cheers james, glad you like it

[@gabrielolsson2033]

I love your work mate! :D By the way, if my memory serves, long ago in a White Dwarf magazine were some interesting joulsting rules along with paper tents etc. I can't remember the exact issue, but the year was 1998 and Nigel Stillman was part of it (I think). While we're on it, he had a bunch of fantastic articles about Bretonnia that same year! Heraldry, painting, building, converting etc. The articles was released in no:219-222. It's a excellent read! Cheers! Ps. Oh and yes, tale of the four armys was also in 1998. Good old times! Ds.

[@frannyfranfrancis]

Very immersive video! Production quality has been improving so much! BRAVO!

[@khublaklonk4480]

I just have to give props for a bit of proper medieval music. That sounds like "Adam Lay Ybounden" starting at around 10:10, during the tent building. That was a delightful surprise.

[@hamishlogie7787]

Best film yet! Fantastic!!! Can't wait for the jousting rules!

[@mcspudster5289]

As a heraldic hobbyist, I definitely need a tutorial on how you did such complex arms so well on those shields, surcoats, and caparisons

[@BarringtonDrive]

Thank you, Eric!

[@michaelcoull8590]

That “bored guard” has got to be based on one of the wedding guards (who promptly get murdered by Lancelot) in Monty Python & the Holy Grail !

Best jousting scene is still The Court Jester. Lovely work on this. Really atmospheric

[@Dalamar62]

It's just a-ma-zing 😮The pleasure to watch is real, great job man 👏

[@SirLuquent]

I love this! Especially because it uses such a vibrant palette like the Disney Robin Hood movie or the El Cid movie, rather than the dour grimdark colors we so often see in the hobby.

[@holzbergerpeter4480]

I remember there was a whitedwarf with tents and stuff for bretonia and special rules.

[@andrewshewan4551]

I saw those old jetbikes! Are some shining spears going to join the joust? The bretonnians as a whole have made great videos for the channel.
