Well, that is what I told myself, when bidding like a madmen on this mixed Empire and Bretonnia auction on ebay. "I will keep the empire models and sell the Brets" It contained a Lord on Horse with Great Weapon, the Green Knight, old Lord on Hippogryph, 3 Pegasus Knights, 20 Men at Arms and 18 Archers from the 5th Edition Starter Set as well as the 12 Knights of the Realm from the same Box. "Mhhh almost a complete Army... just a few more knights and..." Bought the codex and a few more models (mostly Kotr) and here we go, the start of my new army. 3 Knights of the Realm:

There is never a better time to start a new army other than now. Great work. The yellow looks especially rich and regal.

Agreed you definitely, one hundred percent should certainly not start a Bretonnian army...
However, the army you have started looks mighty fine, great job !

Thank you both I will update my progress here. The next 3 Kotr have base colors and shades, only the details are missing.

It's the beginning of a nice army, anyway.
Paint looks great though.

I concur that starting an army is always a good idea. Finishing it is the challenge, of course, as my many unfinished projects will attest. Excellent looking figures, mon seigneur. I look forward to seeing more.

Thank you for your kind words
Now 2 Characters before I paint the last 3 KOTR for my first complete unit.
Once I was able to add some varnish to the miniatures, I will add some gras to the bases.
Not entirely happy with the Green Knight. Maybe I will shoot some green with an airbrush from the bottom to the wool so it will look more ghostly.

I've painted loose cotton like that and it worked out fine. I spray painted it with Chaos Black and then dry brushed it with a color I wanted. Not much different than the minis.

Ok, that sounds promissing. I will give it a try with light colors and post the pictures in this thread.

So, after a looong Christmas break, I was able to paint a few more Brets.
3 More Knights, which completes my first units of KOTR.
A Lord
and a Damsel (Although I have to touch the skin color again. It is ok from the distance, but terrible when having a closer look :/ )
