Knights of Bretonnia (Warhammer Omnibus)

Product Information

The meeting place was the small town of Ravola, the first settlement on the Tilean side of the mountains and one which was coveted by the Bretonnians because of its fine vineyards, even though all the people were fiercely loyal to the Prince of Miragliano. The current ruler, King Louen Leoncoeur, [2s] [4c] holds court within the Duchy of Couronne during the winter months.

Just as the hordes of Heinrich were scattered, he fell before he could reach and kill a hooded figure he believed to be Heinrich re-risen. Castle Carcassonne - Castle Carcassonne is the ducal capital of Carcassonne, famous for being a large mustering field to gather armies against greenskin invaders. Hearing of the great victory, his force did not press on into the desert kingdom, feeling saddened at the loss of such a glorious campaign. Indeed, nearly all of the king's servants are barons, powerful in social ranking due their constant interactions with the king and being sworn in fealty to him alone, for only by the king's direct proclamation can a patent of barony be issued.However, the lords of each dukedom had not the time to properly gather their knights into a single unified force.

Much like their on-foot brethren the Knights of the Realm are minor nobles, often from the extended family of a baron or duke. The earliest days of Bretonnian history are not well recorded, though it has been conjectured that as within the wider world, it may have once been ruled over by the cold-blooded Lizardmen at the dawn of the planet's creation. Peasant Bowmen are canny shots with their longbows, and have the good sense to bring defensive stakes with them to defend them from charges. Slog into battle on foot, naturally, beautifully represented by this diverse kit of heavily armoured warriors who can be equipped with two-handed great weapons or swords and shields. Little is known about the dukedom, save that it was overrun by a horde of Greenskins and that its territory was contested by both Brionne and Quenelles.The pirates were not a conventional force to be defeated, and new pirates simply emerged to replace the old. However, the question of whether he should also be proclaimed King of Bretonnia, as old tribal tradition allowed, was much debated.

Dinner was served by shambling servants, and the dukes were shocked to see spitted and impaled criminals arrayed about the hall.

If the Knights of Bretonnia were ever to fail in their sacred duties, then the whole of the human race would surely be doomed. Rare it was these days for the reclusive dwarfs to make contact with the other nations of men, other than the Empire. The Bretonnians, in their pride, did not cope well with defeat, and were it not for the wise king ending the wars, then countless more knights may well have thrown their lives away in an effort to regain the honour of their defeated brethren.

Many shepherds carry the Bretonnian crook, a spear with a hook at the end of the handle, and are skilled in its use.The Grail Companions each took out a Dark Champion of the army, with the battle ending when Duke Landuin struck down the sorcerer who was controlling the undead warriors, destroying nearly half the enemy army, forcing the beastmen to retreat.
