Old as hell Warscrolls – Age of Sigmar is a different game from 5 years ago.Gain Respect – Any grognard will wipe a tear from their eye in joy seeing you rock these models.Decent Charge Phase – Although you lack the tricks of newer factions, all your cavalry isn’t the worst in the charge phase.Good synergy – Among Nobles at least, the Heroes can buff each other, making them surprisingly powerful.Surprising diversity – For a dead model line, you actually have a lot of models that check off many niches an army needs.If you have some buried in your closet somewhere, or a willingness to scour EBay for expensive metal models, you can, in theory, play them. Even without this, Bretonnians had their entire line taken off the store after End Times, so it was increasingly rare to see anyone still playing them. This was before even battletomes came along, to consolidate what was and wasn’t playable. The faction is only here because when Age of Sigmar launched, they created warscrolls for everything. It is rumored some Bretonnians may have been reincarnated, particular as Sigmar’s chosen, but nobody knows for sure. With no recourse left, the few survivors met a cruel end. Bretonnia met a fatal end during The End Times, when the undead hordes of Nagash laid waste to the country and the Lady was revealed to be the Elven Goddess Lileath in disguise. The peasants are kept on their own land, inbred and subservient, with any attempt at insurrection crushed. While ostensibly obeying the code of Chivalry these Knights are very little like the highly moral legends they claim to be. The Knights of the Realm live in luxury, questing on behalf of their deity The Lady. We don’t know yet what The Old World has in store, or if Bretonnians will make an appearance, but in the mean time if you have some really old metal motels kicking around and want to play with them now, read on! Faction Overviewīretonnia is a nation inspired by Arthurian Legend, with a heavy French overtone. I wouldn’t recommend it but the option is there! For Goonhammer 96 we’re looking at the option to play one of the factions we lost from the transition from The World That Was into Age of Sigmar. Bretonnians? Aren’t they dead? Yes, very dead.
