Repanse de Lyonesse Lore*

[@alecadanglao8386]

I said this in a reddit thread already but we could just say she went into Athel Loren meditating or assisting the wood elves and returned to Bretonnia when what seemed like 1 month was actually 500 years

[@bundleofhumble3119]

Still, they did nothing. Chaos --> Undead Bretonnia --> Crusade Lance/Banner --> Nothing 500 year disappearance --> Nothing Might as well have a character made up like the one from the Drowned.

[@nagashtheundyingking4404]

Doesn’t bother me at all that she is from way before the warhammer current year really I see it more as a sandbox thing anyways more characters are always welcome Most hyped for Nagash tho

[@keegobricks9734]

Are you not able to pick her as a hero in tabletop regardless of edition? Or any hero for that matter, and if that's the case it's fine to have her in Total war warhammer. Just retcon it to say it's happening now- if you even need or want to bother worrying about it.

[@Wanderer628]

Nagash is so huge he'll probs be the villain of Warhammer: Total War 3.

Except she doesn't get roasted.

Men don't want a badass female figure leading them. Repanse: hold my grial, monsieur

[@gagemullis313]

A bit of a historical error made when discussing St. Joan of Arc, she fought for the French, and was killed by the English, as they were at war and the English knew she was capable of defeating them

[@BringDHouseDown]

it was separatist french who captured her and then sailed off to England, she was tried with a bullshit charge and burned at the stake in England, if they had attempted to do that in France those separatists would have been burned instead, so no, she the use of the word gratitude in a sarcastic way doesn't apply in this story, since it was the enemy she was fighting that burned her.

[@Ale-mv3gr]

I wish they made a short about her.

Awesome as allways! :) Love you, your AMAZING work and THANK YOU yet again, man! Wish you all the best, Keep it up!

[@colonelsanders1349]

Looks like she’ll be a great Anti-Infantry unit. She also comes with Henri le Massif as a hero unit, who is pretty much a Paladin who can ride a Hippogryph.

I like how the lore lowkey means that Britain was Chaos (Joan of Arc was famous for evicting the British from France, Repanse is famous for evicting Chaos from Bretonnia)

[@Zerpderp0]

I always thought that the Empire was more Britian.

[@JB-xl2jc]

@@Zerpderp0 Empire is pretty much entirely lifted from the Holy Roman Empire with Elector Counts instead of Princes

[@outrageddeer2101]

@Deathsdayoff person so just Britian

[@TheWidgeon23]

Makes sense from France's perspective. Henry V was the butcher of Agincourt to them and was on the verge of becoming regent of France when Joan started stomping a mudhole in the English and walking it dry.

[@outrageddeer2101]

@Deathsdayoff person they just have fog and giants

[@King33337]

Wow I like the art work of Repanse the peasant in the beginning. Who drew that? It’s sweet 👍

[@emmelineashcroft6482]

I also wish to know.

[@KS-PNW]

To be fair it doesn't sound like this 'Joan' was ever captured by the occupying enemy... (The English burned RL Joan of Arc, technically for witchcraft but pretty openly it was about her having defeated them)

[@fumarc4501]

So Brettonia get a new Legendary Lord. Hope for the Beastmen and Wood elves?

[@pandemic_diesel]

bro youre the fkin man, thank you for these videos!!

[@Cherb123456]

To be honest, my initial reaction wasn't quite welcoming under the influence of our current times. BUT after watching this video and discovering the lore behind her. I'm absolutely smitten by the poetic beauty of having a Jeanne d’Arc personification with a happy Ending in an otherwise grim-dark Universe. You could assume, in a World where Evil is such strong force manifest, a person like Repanse de Lyonesse would be adored, respected and worshiped. Love it, she's gonna be my next Mortal Empires Campaign. Thanks for your content, enjoyed to great extend!

[@djn6962]

I really like this character, but it really bothers me that she doesn’t have her banner... that’s like, her (joan of arc) main thing... the greatsword just doesn’t fit...

[@moiseman]

There's never been a banner in the game for whatever reason. Her sword looks amazing though.

[@djn6962]

moiseman I think making a new asset for a legendary lord isn’t such a trying task for them. They are being lazy, in my opinion.

[@moiseman]

@@djn6962 It's all new assets.

[@djn6962]

moiseman exactly, so not making a new asset for her banner was lazy/half assed. It’s like if they didn’t give Isabella her blood chalice, or only gave Manfred his staff or his sword. Why cut out her most iconic item? Anyway, I just saw a video about her starting location, so it appears they have completely discarded her lore and revamped her. So I guess the banner is a non issue regardless.

[@bundleofhumble3119]

@@djn6962 And have not explained her 500 year disappearance. The Banner is also a Lance with magical enchants that is part of her core backstory.

Can't wait for Repanse although I don't really like the two handed sword look.

Everyone seems to hate it, and everyone except me it seems are clamoring for the stupid banner.

[@KamikazKid]

@@matthewchristiansen9978 I'm not too angry honestly because someone's gonna mod it real quick and make her look more like tabletop Repanse. Honestly, I'm just a little miffed that they quite obviously recycled the questing knight's sword swing animation for Repanse's attacks and didn't give her any other attack animations.

[@matthewchristiansen9978]

I honestly think GW went way too far even by Warhammer standards in making Bretonnia lore cartoonishly over the top as possible to the point that its totally immersion breaking, and I don't say that much about Warhammer. I mean, 90% tax is statistically impossible to survive on, and would not produce anything, much less longbowmen. The constant inbreeding would leave the peasantry sterile in a few generations, and on the brink of starvation 24/7, Bretonnia would frankly fall apart in a few years if put into the real world. And the extreme oversimplification of medieval structure to just Lords and Peasants is just boring and lazy. Frankly, I just disregard it, imagine a realistic feudal society backing the Knights of Bretonnia and move on.

[@moiseman]

@@matthewchristiansen9978 It's not GW though, most of the stupidly exaggerated sarcastic writing come from WH fantasy RPG books which were written by third parties / freelancers. In the actually army books you literally have written cases of peasant earning nobility by defending villages and hunting monsters.

[@trolldrool]

@@moiseman In Warhammer 5th edition, young nobles had to earn their knighthood by protecting the peasentry and the infantry were well fed men-at-arms, trained to serve their lord to the best of their ability. One of the most famous knights who served alongside Gilles Le Breton, Duke Montfort, was so well known for his fair treatment of the commoners that his name would become a Vow taken by knights that chose to fight on foot with the infantry rather than charge on horse surrounded by their noble peers. In Warhammer 6th or 7th edition (whichever is when Bretonnia got their next rulebook), GW decided that was too positive and not grimdark enough and made it all about the peasants being oppressed by a hypocritical nobility so that instead of Bretonnia being a portrayal of the stereotypical fantasy of chivalry it was transformed into the exxagerated stereotypical historical portrayal of chivalry. Neither is accurate, but GW wanted Warhammer Fantasy to be darker and edgier. I got both army rulebooks in my shelves and can confirm that whether GW came up with it or not, they most certainly embraced it.

[@moiseman]

@@trolldrool Nah 6th bretonnian army book is edgier for sure but it's nowhere near as grimdark as the WHFRP books. In the army book you can still read stuff about knights vowing to protect the weak, their peasants etc and that honouring their vows is the most important things to knights and stuff like that.

[@MinscFromBaldursGate92]

Warhammer Fantasy is basically of Berserk had the humor of Terry Pratchett or Monty Python.

[@matthewchristiansen9978]

Unpopular opinion: I don't care about the banner, and don't get the fuss about it.

Maybe you should read more and care more.
