Filippo's Bretonnia: Rank and file 3 - 145 Points

"Chaaaaaaarge!"

“Did you have the right pictures this month??”

“Yeah.. sort of”

Last month I wrote an article about the Men‑at‑Arms unit… and I ended up taking the pictures of the archers. Great job, truly a great job.

So this month! Here’s a unit of ten “Archers” :D

The background looks more “realistic” because I managed to ruin the sheet of paper right before taking the photo, and the printer decided that it was fine like that.

Michael Perry’s halberdiers are full of character, and they can hold their own against many more recent models.

It was harder to find the plastic shield..

A great plus of these models is that are really useful with Mordheim! Halberds FTW!

The color scheme is the same as the archers; I’m keeping the same livery for all the main units, but starting next month I’ll begin introducing some variations.

This month I didn’t add anything new to the army, but I did get the chance to paint another band of Restless Dead, sculpted by the incredible Alessio Cisbani.

"Braaaaaaaiiinnnssss"

The first version was done in Mousillon colors; this time I decided to use the same palette I’m using for the rest of the army.

The warband is the result of a failed crusade, sometimes even the blessing of the Lady is not enough to win the day.

The time has come for the Leader's month! 

See you in May

Filippo's Bretonnia: Rank and File 2 - 145 points

Not an haiku this month!

During the last few editions, February has always been the busiest month, which is why I often called a mulligan. 2026 was no different. I actually almost managed to complete my goal, but I preferred to postpone everything to March.

For this month, I prepared a unit of 10 Men‑At‑Arms with halberds, shields, and command group.

For Bretonnia and the Lady!

Choosing the colors was difficult. I wanted to try something unusual, maybe use the colors of my city, but in the end I went with the classic white and blue for two reasons:

1. They’re the colors that immediately come to mind when I think of Bretonnian infantry.

Fifth edition Bretonnia Supplement

2. I bought more monopose archers and Men‑At‑Arms with spears that are already painted and only need a few touch‑ups, so I can expand my army with less effort.

The paint scheme is fairly simple and easy to replicate when I need to increase the size of the unit. Ten models are perfect for a Border Patrol, but I’ll need at least ten more if I want to play larger games.

So simple, yet so gorgeous

Alongside this unit, I painted a Grail Damsel.

This model was also partially started, but I repainted it entirely, using the previous colors as if they were the primer.

I recently managed to get the mounted version as well, which I hope to add in the coming months.

Overall, I’m very satisfied with the work, even if it doesn’t quite capture the fifth‑edition vibe as much as I would have liked. It’s really hard to paint those colors in a reasonable amount of time.

Since I had a couple of fairly free weeks, I got ahead on the work for April, so I’m pretty confident I’ll manage to avoid the field of bones again this time. Let’s hope May doesn’t betray me.

My hopes for May
