RUMOR: Bretonnians Mid July

[AgentP]

So the rumor mill says Bretonnians are Mid-July release.  I sure hope so.  I think I will have to make them my next army.  

[Norrad]

So what does this mean for the OFCC if true?  I think that the new army book should be allowed.  Especially since the OFCC would be 2 months away with a mid July release. Plenty of time to get in some games.  Might be tight on building, painting and testing new units though but a dedicated Bretonnian would make it happen.

"A dedicated Bretonnian" would be drinking, whoring and hunting. In that order. :)

 

Should be great to have some new bretonnians to play with! :)

[Raindog]

If the book is out in July, I will allow it. 

[McNathanson]

I love you Raindog.

 

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE be true!!!

I'm so stoked for a new book FINALLY.  I can barely stand it.  I pray to the Lady for improved peasants, or cheaper peasants, either way is fine!!

Can't wait can't wait can't wait can't wait....

[Threejacks]

Looks like ill be getting more models for my Sons army soon:)

 

Also I gather theres a new rules edition this fall?..along with a new OnG edition??

 

 

Startin to feel the need for some Squares action!

[lustriangod2]

No, I don't think we will see any new rules until after next year.

[dkieft]

New book in July misses the ratings deadline but f-that! Not allowing a new Bret book when it is out a couple months before the event would be like Kicking all the Bret players in the nuts... more. (actually now that I mention it....)

 

That'll be the last of the "not been updates foreva's" books leaving what? Skaven and Beasts as the only remaining non-8th edition books?
 

[Murphy'sLawyer]

Well as for the release schedules yes, Beasts and Skaven are the last. The Beastmen need it badly the Skaven are most likely content to wait for a little.

 

As for the Kick in the Nuts I will leave that one untouched. I can see the argument both ways.

[Munkie]

As a rule, I leave no nuts unkicked.

 

So I say we allow the new book, at the cost of one swift punt to the plums.

[generalripphook]

Man i hope we get a dismounted knight option.

[MexicanNinja]

I can't wait to revitalize a Bret army.

[pretre]

If you're talking about the Natfka/Stickmonkey rumors, I wouldn't get your hopes up that they are accurate.

[lustriangod2]

I wonder if they will get a monsterous cav choice.

[Murphy'sLawyer]

I wonder if they will get a monsterous cav choice.

Not saying they won't get a new one but remember they have Pegasus Knights which are MC. I do expect new models though.

 

I just wonder if they are still going to stick closely to the Arthurian legend or if they willexpand and update the army to the timeline more. Thinking of France and England in the 1500's with magic.

[mojoslayer]

They could use the questing beast, which is from the arthurian legend.  Born of incest, it had the head and neck of a snake and the body of a cat and some hoofed creature.  

[generalripphook]

Oh itd be cool if we got a seige engine or something of the sort that could be pushed by peasents. Similar to a screaming bell or something

[MexicanNinja]

I just want devestating charge for all knights.

[mojoslayer]

ASF on the charge and devastating charge would go a long way to make Brets go from good to really good, that and remove the max unit sizes.  

[dkieft]

Lets make them ethereal while we are at it too!

[generalripphook]

Errrp double post

[generalripphook]

Also ward save is a +2 against everything over strength 1

go from good to BANNED from every OFCC event for being Broken.

[MexicanNinja]

Not ASF, just devastating charge.  Any true Bret player knows what it's like to suffer from the "rubber lance".  THis is why I think devastating charge will counter balance that.  Sure, there will be times when you don't get the rubber lance going.  However, we're also talking about unit of 9-12 models.  They aren't cheap either.

 

@Mojo- Bret's are already good.  I don't think they need a lot of new stuff.  I would just like to see them get devastating charge.  It also gives me a vision of watching knights tear through infantry when they hit thme in the lance formaiton.

 

@dkieft- Might as well ;)

[McNathanson]

I honestly hope they keep Knights similar in terms of efficacy-per-point, as I think they're fine today.  But I would love to see changes to make them more "Knightly".  Stuff like:

- all Knights are Immune to Psych on the charge

- Knights with a Damsel in their unit are Stubborn, or ItP, or re-roll breaks, whatever… something chivalrous when protecting a maiden fair

- Knights re-roll to hit when using a Lance, or something to show their unmatched prowess with the weapon

 

I also would like to see Men at Arms go down a point and/or get WS3, and have "Conscripts" at WS2, with different models that aren't so soldierly for the conscripts.

 

I also would love new Knight models with optional helm-crests, I hate the built-in trophy-heads on the current models but they are otherwise great.

 

Getting rid of Pegasus Knights would be fine, I think they're too "magical" for a unit and should be reserved for characters (heroes) only.

 

And since I'm going for my wish-list, I'd be stoked to see foot knights and a great arsenal of magic swords, shields and armor.

 

I'd be fine with only Grail Knights having the Blessing, as a straight-up 5+ Ward to keep it simple.  The rest of the Knights are working on earning the Blessing :)

 

I would love a "Grail Shrine" similar to the Cauldron of Blood for Knights, and Pilgrims.  Pilgrims should do away with the Reliquae and just be a Stubborn or even Unbreakable unit of zealots.

 

Okay I'm done dreaming :P
