[@themusicalcactus1263]

Great painting tutorial. Now i want to see more!!

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you 😊 There will definitely be many more on the way.

[@noobiesnacks1636]

Very nice. Very motivated to pick up a brush again!

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you 🙂, you should definitely pick up that brush, strike while motivated.

[@ellesse3862]

Its going to be a beautiful army when its spread on the table, I look forward to updates as you progress. Enjoyed the tutorial, thanks.

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you 😊

[@TheFilthdog]

Very nice finish and helpful tutorial. I'd love to see old world model have metal as an option too when they come back.

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you 😊 I think there will be some models brought back in metal, it works very well Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game.

[@casualgaming2351]

Thanks for the video. I just finished printing the core for my dwarfs. They look and rank up so much bette ron 25mm bases.

[@MiniatureRealms]

I looking forward to doing mine, they’re out on the table mid game against my son right now (often takes a week of a turn every other high to finish a game 😂).

This bretonnian army is gonna look beautiful when finished

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you, which reminds me, I need to crack on with them.

[@tchin98]

Thank you for this, this has massively helped moved my painting to next step. That patience and "just have a little fun with it" mentality is key. I will be following this for one of my knights. Just got my hands on a 6th ed. to paint!

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you, really glad you’ve found it useful. 🙂

[@DanD_42]

Awesome tutorial, I'd love to see more tutorials like this especially some weathered men at arms shields, I really struggle with free hand heraldry and weathering over it.

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you 😊. I’ll try and cover weathered shields in a future video.

[@8nick620]

Great stuff! Love it!

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you 🙂

[@EQ2Cordanim]

Well, this is now my inspiration - some friends have gotten me to try Warhammer Old World, and being a total Paladin type of guy in D&D and PathFinder, I just had to stick with knights, etc. and I'm building up my Bretonnian army and I absolutely LOVE your yellow & blue scheme, which was what I was thinking, but having a tough time visualizing it so THANK YOU for this! Now to go look through your other videos! 🙂

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you 😊, so glad you like the scheme, and best of wishes getting your army painted.

[@iand3lond]

I have a beastmen army on round basis, it is a mix of old (back to 80's metal models) and new minis from GW. I bought a 5 dragon ogres unit in metal a few months ago, I am waiting to see what the TOW bases are going to be for them before I start doing anything with them. Probably also going to collect non GW minis. Next I had the idea of a halfling bretonnian army for a while to face them, sourcing minis from different manufacturers. But I already have so many hobby projects and only so much time.

[@MiniatureRealms]

I have a friend who had a huge Dragon Ogre based army, loads of im them, very cool. Love the idea of Halfling Brets, you should definitely do it if you have time (I know what it’s like with multiple projects on the go).

[@stonem0013]

I'd love a painting tutorial for the 5th edition sculpts!

[@MiniatureRealms]

If I add any to my army I may well do that. I quite like the horses, not a huge fan of the plastic knights from 5th Ed though.

[@stonem0013]

​@@MiniatureRealmscould use them to represent knights errant potentially, as their kit doesn't look as fancy

[@MiniatureRealms]

Yes that’s a good idea, I did think of grabbing just some of the horses. They’re interesting models, like you said they can look more plain, so good for knights errant, but the caparison (the cloth covering) has lots of flat areas, if painted with lots of detail they can be good for special troops as well.

[@josephjustice4553]

Really well done!

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you very much 🙂

[@arctichordewargaming3550]

Fun video!

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you

[@chiefchurpa5739]

good stuff, im really enjoying these painting tutorials ... personally im not rebasing my armies yet just incase i dont like hte new rules then id hav to re rebase all my stuff again.

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you 🙂 That seems like a sensible choice, especially if you are currently playing older editions.

[@JonnyWatsonGaming]

Really nice work. I’ve got to get back on to my Goblins but you are making me want to do some humans 😂 keep up the good work 👌

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you 😊

[@andrewstark1320]

Just a word for this tutorial: incredible. I wish this would have been around when I was painting my bretonnian army. This has given me the inspiration to go back painting some more knights tho 😊. Also I love all the old world tutorials you’re putting out, please please please do something from orcs (night goblin doesn’t count :P ) next like an orc warrior. Thanks and keep up the great work.

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you 😊 Orcs are definitely on the list 🙂

[@markwarne893]

Hi, I worry about mounting Calvary troops on horses to paint in case you miss bits or can't get to areas on the saddle etc

[@MiniatureRealms]

It’s not normally the way I’d do it either, but these were an eBay rescue and already assembled. Didn’t work out as hard as I’d guessed though.

[@markwarne893]

@@MiniatureRealms How do you paint your mounted troops? Many thanks

[@MiniatureRealms]

Normally I’d leave the rider separate and mount on a separate cork or painting handle.

[@markwarne893]

@@MiniatureRealms Thanks for the reply. Do you drill into the base, mount the figure on a wire and then attach it to a painting handle?

[@MiniatureRealms]

Pretty much, it varies a bit depending on what I have lying around. A cork board plastic pin works well, sharp bit in the riders behind and the plastic bit in the putty of the painting handle.

[@roggies2008]

Would you consider making a review of the Pro Acryl transparent paint range?

[@MiniatureRealms]

I honestly hadn’t thought of it; and it’s not a brand I’ve used (but heard good things), but there’s definitely a chance I could. I want to pick up the Army Painter Speed Paints 2.0 range and do a follow up review to the first one I did.

[@miketike3246]

Ahh, so I answered my own question! Found out below you're basing these on 30mm x 60mm. That makes sense, it's the next larger logical base size commercially available. Which would mean if your guess is correct then all the old infantry that are on the old 25mm squares would now be on 30mm squares. My only concern is if GW does something wacko like decide to use something like 32mm square or 32mm x 64mm rectangles to force you to buy special bases from them. THAT would be very deflating.

[@MiniatureRealms]

It’s possible, but then again 30x60 & 30mm aren’t available commercially outside of mdf anyway, so aside from people like me who’s have based some on a guess, it makes no difference really.

[@julianmhall]

Hi Stuart.. hope you and yours are well :) Just a thought for any video. I watch a lot of model making videos and a couple of them include a list on screen of the products they use. I know your videos are more to show /technique/ than products, but if a viewer wanted to emulate an effect, they would be able to if they had a list of products.

[@MiniatureRealms]

I do include a list in some video descriptions when I have time, but sadly not this one. I do hold up each paint to camera and say its name at the start of each use, though I appreciate it’s not a list in one single place, but the information is there for anyone wanting to follow.

[@galinhalachev7596]

I really love the paintjob but in my headcanon I would imagine bretonnian knights would always be in pristine equipment, no dirt, chipping, etc. But I still really love it. I want to build a bretionnian army as well but I cannot rationalize spending that amount of money on it so im looking at kitbashing historicals. If anyone can give me some tips on what to buy I would be very gratefull. And also if anyone where I can buy little bits and bobs like swords, maces, axes, pouches and other stuff to fluff up my models please do tell. I know there probably are 3dprintable files but do not own a 3d printer and dont plan on buying one soon, if anyone has one I would gladly pay for stuff like that thx.

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you. I have a lot of affection for the old pristine style, but I like some realism in my armies, to look like they’re in a battle or even on campaign. This force will also likely be under the command of a ‘disgraced lord’ (or at least partly) who’s now in the Border Princes. Perry Miniatures HYW and WoTR ranges will be good, and maybe some Vitrix and Fireforge, at lot will be more truescale 28mm, so smaller than GW though.

[@IndianaJonny]

Beautiful job. That's the benefit of a 'uniformed' Bretonnian army - you don't need a full rainbow of paint colours! Did you purposefully avoid an 'inside-out' approach in doing the fabrics before the barding, maybe to get the larger colours on first?

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you 😊 Yes pretty much, there’s so little barding it was easy to add afterwards with the other metallics.

[@ianflurrance8438]

Wonderful! I’m hoping to pick up some Brets when the new game launches, I always wanted to play them but the world was destroyed before I got a chance. I’m painting up some goblin wolf riders right now and wondering about base sizes!

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you 🙂. I bought at Bretonnian army close to the end of 8th, but never got around to painting or playing, so definitely a good place to start for me too. Base sizes are tricky, hopefully they release them soon.

[@poseidonswe]

Destroyed, would you be arrested to use them?

[@ja37d-34]

Excellent colours - looks Swedish.. ;)

[@MiniatureRealms]

😊

[@_brutucas]

Very enjoyable tutorial - thanks! How come you put the varnish on before the decals?

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you 🙂 It’s a trick I learnt from painting tanks, decals adhere to flat surfaces much better, then also smooth into the surface more effectively using Microset and Microsol. It’s a well know technique in military modelling.

[@Skarloc10]

Great work! May I ask if you are using already the "new" Old world cavalry base-size? Maybe it`s me but the base looks a bit bigger to me compared to the old regular cav-base. If that is the case, where did u get them? Greetings form Germany.

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you 😊 I am using a 60x30mm base, but it’s only a guess at the size. I managed to make them and print them myself, but it’s not the most professional job. I talk about it, my thoughts on size and process in a previous video, kzbin.info/www/bejne/faLdd4SVZqZ4bbM

[@miketike3246]

Fantastic stuff as usual! As it happens, I've got five vintage Warhammer armies stored away, completely built and primed, about 500 minis. in all. But also all based per vintage Warhammer Fantasy 5th-8th Edition old days. I'm hugely tempted to begin putting all the old 20mm-square based models on 25mm squares and prepare for the future release of the game. However for old mounted troops and for models already on 25mm from the old days, they announced there would be entirely new square and rectangle sizes. So I'm wondering, are you using 25x50mm rectangles here for the knights, or is this the new size rectangles as per the future game? I'm never going to play WTOW competetively, so I'll probably be able to get away with leaving some models on their old bases. But I love their planned idea of making more space between models for the new rules to make ranking up easier. That will make factions' infantry like Night Goblins, Dwarves, Empire etc. much easier to rank up! All that vintage infantry being on the old 20mm squares was a nightmare for ranking.

[@MiniatureRealms]

Ranking up was a nightmare for so many models, a few worked well on 20s, but overall the change will solve far more problems. I’ve made an educated guess for Bretonnian Cavalry by looking at pictures of the new stuff, and I think 30x60 is going to be right, or only out by a couple of mm. Saying that I’m only basing/painting 8 models, so not much pain if I need to change it, the rest will wait until there’s more official news. No idea for models that would have been on 25s yet really, not seen enough pictures of new stuff close up on bases. Based on my guess for the cavalry it could be 30mm maybe, but it’s a huge risk changing them now. They also said “all” 20mm will go up to 25s, but only “most” 25s will change. They said they’re going to release a chart closer to time.

[@marshtiger1]

@@MiniatureRealms Yeah, I agree with waiting until I have official base sizes, or if there will be options for creating a gaming tray with the official foot print rather than re-basing individual bases from 20 mm to 25 mm.

[@pwntehnoobs]

The knight is really lovely, is there a lore reason for the blue and yellow cloth? Or just ones chose by yourself? I am probably not gonna play it myself but the old world painting is really lovely, makes me want to go play total war warhammer again. Btw are you planning on doing more flamesofwar content? I would be interested in seeing other uniforms being done with contrast type paints such as the german grenadier uniform? edit: that is what I get for reacting, before watching the final minutes, looking forward to more fow as well.

[@MiniatureRealms]

🙂 The yellow and blue is my own thing really, the updates GW has released talk about more knights in their Dukes livery, and I like that idea, and basing mine in the Border Princes area (something they’ve said is focussed at the start). …and yes more FOW soon, but will be mostly focused around North Africa.

[@blecao]

@@MiniatureRealms I mean border princes mean you can go nuts There are dozens of small princes with theyr small armies that try to recreate theyr home nations

[@MiniatureRealms]

I love the freedom to make stuff up, also looking forward to what GW do with it at launch, as it seems to be an area they’re focusing on.

[@tiny_worlds]

Great job, he looks brilliant. Is he on a 30x60mm base or the standard 25x50mm?

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you 😊 Yes I gone with a 30x60mm, but of a gamble, but I’m only planning on painting 8 mounted models before it’s confirmed, so not too painful if my guess is wrong.

[@benhadaway3322]

Are you painting the bacskide/underside of the horse barding? What color?

[@MiniatureRealms]

If it can’t be seen at all no, the bits that can the same colour as the front, but the underside is very dark, so the finish from the blaze base coat is darker as well.

[@Adversary_Dwimmerlaik]

Are there good Citadel equivalents to the blues used here?

[@MiniatureRealms]

Contrast Celestium Blue for Xpress Color Omega Blue isn’t too far off, after that Teclis Blue isn’t too far off either.

[@doctorsimon4]

Do you use any contrast medium with the nazdreg yellow? I find it just looks brown

[@MiniatureRealms]

It’s depends on the application/context. I didn’t for these, and while it looks brown/Ochre in the pot, it’s definitely a yellow ochre over a light base. For me that’s the perfect base to highlight up from, but they do lighter yellows if you’re after something brighter to start with.

[@rich_john]

What undercoat sprays do you use?

[@MiniatureRealms]

I use a Matt black as a base, a mix of brands, Citadel, Colour Forge, and Hycote.

[@CorwainTheMad]

I should be painting my 6th. ed. Lizardmen army but I'm procrastinating with my set of 1st. ed. Mighty Empires... and fallout 2...

[@CorwainTheMad]

@@MiniatureRealms Neither did I, I've only had my copy for 4 years and now it was time to paint it up because a friend expressed interest in trying it. ;-)

[@blecao]

Well my tilean army is mortly made from historical miniatures so i will need another army for old world but i will see the reaction on my zone before that quite probably We have a healthy warhammer fantasy community rigth now but some had express dislike alrredy for the idea of old world so i will need to see what is the situation after launch

[@MiniatureRealms]

That sounds very sensible, and you can always try the game out before you fully invest in new miniatures.

[@blecao]

@@MiniatureRealms I mean if it doesnt get track i will just put 20mm bases and play old fantasy since as i say theres a healthy ommunity of that here but honestly i would love to see it working Is just that historic models on 25mm bases trust me they dont look good unlesh they have epic proportions like wargames foundry

[@MiniatureRealms]

Yeah I can understand that, they might look a little lost in the middle of the 25s.

[@barbos1507]

Decals look flat compared to fabrik they are applied to. Some grey highlights could be useful.

[@nordicmaelstrom4714]

Nice tutorial! I am looking forward to the return of the Bretonnian knights but I have a sinking feeling that GW is going to price gouge the hell out of them and likely going to not have a proper amount of supply available. I just have this feeling the new miniatures when they come out will become the miniature versions of their "specialty" games and that is honestly going to tick off a lot of people my self included. I can see that as being the last straw with GW for me if that happens.

[@MiniatureRealms]

Hopefully the prices aren’t too bad, but GW definitely aren’t cheap, I expect the new miniatures to be a similar price to MESBG, not idea what the returning models will be priced at.

[@nordicmaelstrom4714]

@@MiniatureRealms I have that sinking feeling that they will be priced extremely high and like I said I feel like they will keep a low inventory just to drive the prices up further. I really hope I am wrong but if I am not that is it for me and GW.

[@MiniatureRealms]

I’m not convinced on the whole low inventory thing, for some boxed game releases there is definitely a question, but they’re low stock or out of stock on so much stuff now, I think they’re still struggling to get the new warehouse set up running well.

[@nordicmaelstrom4714]

@@MiniatureRealms I avoid buying their hobby products so I do not look at them on their site. I imagine that is possible but the miniatures being in short supply is most definitely a ploy to make money.
