Knights of Bretonnia (Warhammer Omnibus)

Product Information

This was to avoid Magritta's naval blockade which blocked the route towards the Southern Sea until recently. Warhammer: The Old World is a game of massed combat set in the World of Legend, in which whole regiments do battle in a swirling melee of ranking, flanking, thundering charges, roaring monsters, and powerful sorcery. Trade in Bretonnia does not only take place through the Middle Sea and the Sea of Claws, there are many river towns that are enriched thanks to trade, the River Brienne and in particular the Sirthelle tributary was a link for the route between Quelles and Brionne, via nine major stops ( Quenelles, Cixous, Brusse, then through the gorge to Laguiller, Aubenas, Muret, Ferignac, Sibourne and Brionne).

That morning, when all hope seemed lost for the Bretonni cause, a true miracle unfolded upon Gilles and his army of knights. Seeking glory and honour, they sought out the armies of greenskins that plagued these lands, and many great victories were won. The victorious lords turned north, riding through the Forest of Arden until they reached the besieged port-city of L'Anguille.A knight shall not draw sword against his fellow Bretonnian knights, except in trial by combat or within a tournament. As we get closer to release we’ll be revealing more details of this game of fantasy battles in the World of Legend, and revealing plenty exciting things including miniatures and books. The mountains surrounding Bretonnia, and the Massif Orcal in its heart, [2a] are notable for their spectacular scenery. Like any government ruled by a central figure, each King of Bretonnia houses a Royal Court from which he is able to govern and manage his realm with the aid of advisers and his fellow nobles.

As the nightmare that unfolded within the Empire once more repeated itself, whole countrysides was lost, with the cities of Brionne and Quenelles soon fighting for their lives against the verminous hordes of the Skaven Empire. Maldred was forthwith declared a malefactor before the whole land and stripped of his honour and dukedom. Bretonnia is one of the greatest human realms of the Old World, almost rivalling the Empire in size, wealth, and power. This victory did not the stop the orcs, however, and around 948 IC, the northern lands of Bretonnia were engulfed by waves of enemy armies. Farming and mining communities dot the edges of the mountain ranges, renowned for the extremely steep roofs of their houses, designed to shed snowfall quickly.This was the greatest victory ever achieved by the Bretonni people, and the battle had finally signalled an end to the fighting, and the birth of a new kingdom. Antoch - A mighty fortress-city located on the Gulf of Medes in Araby, Antoch is the greatest of Bretonnia's settlements outside of its own lands.

In his absence, Duke Thierulf acted as steward of all Bretonnia, much to the annoyance of Duke Landuin. Northern raiders from the frigid shores of Norsca burned the coastlines of Lyonesse and Couronne, while beastmen warherds poured forth in implacable numbers from the dark woodlands of Arden.

Castle Garamont - Castle Garamont is the seat of power for the Castellan of Bastonne, and is thus the main line of defence for the entire dukedom. As they prepared for the final battle, messengers brought word of an army of greenskins warriors, the largest they had ever seen, pouring out of the mountainous region known as the Pale Sisters.

Towns and villages burn by the score, their defenders slaughtered, and their peasants shipped north to slave in Naggaroth.Peasant Bowmen are canny shots with their longbows, and have the good sense to bring defensive stakes with them to defend them from charges. The only way to comfortably drink in all of those miniatures painted in the heraldry of the Duke Gastille, the Red-Hand, is with some high-quality photography. Cixous - Famous for its pate, is one of nine stops on the river section between Quenelles and Brionne. Bretonnia is now the only nation of Men in the Old World to still employ a rigid system of feudalism in its original form as its system of government and economy. Gilles was the first to make a move, raising the bloodstained and tattered banner of Bastone high, inspired by some genius or desperate madness, he cried out: "Lady, wouldst thou bless mine banner!
