Behold, the mighty peasantry of Bretonnia, resplendent in all their finery:
So I finally made a start on my Bretonnian army, which at the moment doesn't contain a great deal of models. Since GW had discontinued their peasant models when I started out with this, I got the Fireforge Games "Forgotten Worlds" Northmen, which are supposed to be Game of Thrones themed. They work pretty well for Old World peasants, although they're a bit too uniform, and not quite ugly enough.
I have a unit of the Forgotten Worlds Men at Arms too, which I converted to wield halberds. I haven't painted them, but will probably get a photo up soon, as I need some advice on shields.
As for the rest of my Bretonnians, I have various damsels, a BSB, some Pegasus Knights, and various other Knights, some of which are lacking in horses. I started buying a few years ago, then took a break when my ebaying habit got out of control, and then with TOW announced I figured I'd wait and see what GW was going to bring back. I'm holding off on buying any more until that's released, so beyond a few more peasants, painting this army will be a slow burner.
I had to make a call on a main colour for my army when I painted the banner, and I really want to have an army with burgundy as a major colour, so I went with that. I have no idea yet whether my knights will have individual heraldries or look more uniform.
