Fear/Terror causing unit by this rule. Their bravery and
enthusiasm temporarily overcomes their good sense. This
immunity only applies to a forced charge, not to a normal,
declared charge. If not able to charge, the Knights Errant
must make at least a half-move (4") straight forward. They
may make a full move, or even a march, if desired. This
move is taken during the Compulsory Movement Phase,
and constitutes the unit's movement for that turn.

same as those of the widest rank (see page 46 of the
Warhammer rulebook).
MOVEMENT
The Lance Formation moves like all other units, but
cannot turn. When wheeling, one of the models on the
outside of the widest rank turns in place, while the rest of
the formation wheels around him. Wheeling distance is
measured by how far the outermost model in the widest
rank has moved.
CLOSE COMBAT
A unit in Lance Formation gets rank bonus for ranks of
three or more models. When it charges an enemy unit, all
models on the edges of the Lance may fight, provided
they have enemy models directly in front of them and
even if they are not in actual base contact with an enemy

about characters in rear ranks on page 95 of the

In close combat all models at the edge of the Arrowhead
can fight if they have enemy models directly in front of

considered to be the same as those of the widest rank. If
charged in the flank normal penalties apply and the
enemies are lined up diagonally on the side of the
Arrowhead. In this case only those Longbowmen in
actual base contact with enemy models can fight.
Complete ranks of four or more Longbowmen count rank

+1 rank bonus (for the last full rank), and a fifteen man
arrowhead will get +2 rank bonus (for the last two ranks).

TREBUCHET
The techniques required to manufacture a Trebuchet have
been known in Bretonnia since the founding of the
kingdom. The Trebuchet is a war machine that hurls large
stones with tremendous power over great distances. It
uses a heavy counter-weight to power its gigantic sling
and is crewed by three men. The Trebuchet is treated as a
stone thrower (see page 120 of the Warhammer rulebook)
BALLISTA
The Ballista is a smaller piece of machinery than the
Trebuchet and relies on torsion power provided by a bow
or by tightly strung ropes to propel its spear like missile.
It is crewed by two men. The Ballista is treated as a bolt
thrower (see page 124 of the Warhammer rulebook).

painting. When assembled all models should be base
coated with Skull White Citadel spray paint to give them
the right surface.
PAINTING, STEP 1
When dry, models should be lined up in units of about
ten. Painting ten models at a time makes the process a
little faster. Some Knights with complex heraldry should
first be marked in pencil. All models are then painted in
their basic colours.
PAINTING, STEP 2
The next step is to shade the models with inks. Generally
the following washes should be used:
• Flesh Ink for Bronzed Flesh
• Black Ink for Mithril Silver
• Red Ink for Blood Red
• Yellow Ink for Sunburst Yellow
• Blue Ink for Enchanted Blue
• Orc Flesh Ink for Emerald Green
PAINTING, STEP 3
After the shading the details are painted with a very fine
brush. Some important or large models should also be
highlighted by drybrushing them with lighter colours.
Finally the bases are painted Goblin Green and flocked

Painting your Bretonnian army is great fun. Following
the techniques described in the basic game books will
take you far in getting your models to look great. After

THEMED ARMIES
An interesting approach to painting your army is to
invent a theme that runs through all of your units. The
Redeemer Knights below might act as an example on
how to do this.
REDEEMER KNIGHTS
The Knights of Bretonnia are renowned for their courage,
martial skill, and honour. However, there are occasions
when Bretonnian Knights fail to live up to the Rules of
Honour. Knights who willingly or unwillingly break the
Rules of Honour, or who are defeated but spared in a
Trial by Combat, become Redeemer Knights. These
Knights are shorn of their property, followers, and
heraldry. Garbed in simple grey and black, they are left
with nothing but their weapons, armour, and warhorse.
All other Bretonnians shun them until they can recover
their tarnished honour. There are three ways a Redeemer
Knight can do this: by setting off on the Grail quest; by
pledging himself in the service of a lady or a Knight of
superior rank until his patron considers that he is
redeemed; or by performing an act of unsurpassed
heroism. Those who decide to redeem themselves on the
battlefield often serve silently beside the other
Bretonnians. When several Redeemer Knights gather on
the same battlefield, they often form an additional unit,
fighting together in the hopes of gaining greater glory.
The sight of so many dishonoured Knights fighting
desperately is at once chilling and inspiring for the
Bretonnian army. No Grail Knight has ever become a
Redeemer Knight: it is inconceivable that someone who
has sipped from the Grail could ever betray his honour.

do not know what enemies you face. This type of army is
very well balanced and uses a wide range of troops. But
give it a central theme. There seems to be no use to “try
out” every available unit. Take a strong General to lead
your Knights and perhaps a Battle Standard Bearer to
secure your infantry. Take a Wizard to be either
defensive or take two and use them for offence.

Abbot Turpin is the head of the large Grail chapel at

often fights in defence of the chapel or the nearby
villages. He fights on foot, wielding a morning star and
bearing the Standard of Roncevalles. Abbot Turpin is a

Bretonnians in prayers to the Lady of the Lake and filling
his followers with determination to win at all costs.
