We post Bretonia pics tilll we get Bretonia boys!

nth for bretonnian technology.

These new campaign features have been a real surprise, makes me wonder what we will be getting in the expansion. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if this peasant levy/cap system is reused from the High Elf campaign mechanics in development, seeing as they have such trouble with population and losses in wartime.

Bretonnian Steam Tank Kataphraktoi when?

...

>new from radious!
>grail peasants: peasants who have met the lady and gained her blessing (20% physical resistance, unbreakable, magical attacks)

fuck off tankbuster

>only two peasants ever got promoted to being knights

What about the other one?

What's that unit that looks like a horse skull on a frame with barding? saw a quick glimpse of it in the gameplay footage

A miserable pile of corpses

>4th edition bretonnia with bombards, arquebusiers and the like wasn't a thing.

Only if you read about Nagash

faithful peasants takes dead but blessed grail knight corpse and pretends its still alive, which gives them his lady of the lake blessings?

>bird fucking up some tongue-deamon
every time I look at this picture I see new things

Grail Reliquae. The idea behind the unit is that Grail Pilgrims (which are basically the equivilant of Empire Flagellants) are so devoted to the Lady and her champions that they believe a Grail Knight is so holy even after death her blessing still affects the dead body of the Grail Knight. Therefore, they carry around and defend the dead body of a Grail Knight that buffs nearby units

>arthurian legend
>Veeky Forumscore

Dawi ZHARR

You know that they got rid of them to distinguish the faction from the Empire, right? Putting them back in makes them too similar, but I guess radious 2.0 wouldn't care about that.

19 longbeards

...

>distinguish.
And CA went ahead and gave them hippogryph knights. Or is (buckets of holy water) cool but having a basic bombard and handgunner radious tier.

10 florins to the first person to take an army of 19 grail reliquaries and win a multiplayer battle with it.

soon lads
youtube.com/watch?v=adxlG_IAYlQ

Are we actually getting an expansion?

>soon lads
>no banners or flags during battle

yes and it will expand the grand campaing map as the leak of the map show

Hippogryph knights distinguish them from the Empire because it increases their reliance on flying units, the only flying unit the Empire has is a lord mounted on a gryphon.

>buckets of holy water not better than handgunners
get the fuck out of here with that trash

I think your idea of having the option to "modernize" bretonnia at a great cost is pretty neat

You need some better looking tech'd up bret troops though

REJOICE

Oh god I hope lizardmen are there. High elves would also be neat.

>buckets of holy water is alright.
>bretonnians having a few specialized "shepherds" with handguns is radious.

the plan is to use the new assets to make the pike and shot units look more heavily equipped.

I've personally just been using;
3 quarrelers
3 thunderers
2 cannons
1 grudgethrower
9-10 longbeards depending on whether i use a hero or not

I'd like to use hammerers, but they get shredded by even the plebbiest of gobbo archers.
Slayers are even worse.
I'd like to use Ironbreakers, but they're just ridiculously overpriced versions of longbeards.
The Irondrake, Flame Cannon, Organ Gun, and different types of Gyrocopter/Gyrobomber I haven't even bothered with.

they are confirmed to be added at some point , most likely with the skaven , dark elves and high elves , then it will expand east and South for the tomb Kings , chaos dawi , ogres and chaos deamons

for someone who knows jack shit about warhammer lore would the expansions be:
>1st: rest of old world and redone base factions
>2nd: New world with actually good naval(lol)
I know the data leak showed the new world first but would it make sense to flesh out the rest of the old world first?

Should I start with Karl or Gelt? Everywhere I read says Gelt is shit and lore of metal is weak.

If Empire is HRE, wasn't Bretonnia meant to be 100 years war?

desu you could just burghers/city dwellers as the "modern" units

requesting the radious get jpg

>Holy Roman Mounted Desert Crossbow Iuveni

Franz

FOR A VAMPIRESS OF SYLVANIA PROVIDES YOUR BONER

i think they are going by popularity so they are gonna add the skavens , lizardmens and elves first before adding : the ogres and chaos dwarfs who are like literraly who ? and the tomb Kings and chaos demons for the grand finale

...

but that would go against le epik faction diversity with buckets of water. Everything not present in memes is radious, and that includes stuff like free company archers, pikemen and the like.

You're a filthy mongrel if you levy any peasants at all.
A true duke only needs his knights.

more like crusades/high middle ages

>what is R2 Emperor Edition

>skavenS

you're the type of fucker who says 'legoS' aren't you?

>tfw you will never be rich as fuck peasant BTFO aristocracy
>tfw you will never laugh at nobles as the king tries relying less on nobles & instead just hire mercenaries

sorry its just by habitude , i didnt meant to

Go live in the empire and get eaten by ratmen then.

what is this. radious concept art?

I can take a bombard, that's as basic as gunpowder gets, but a retcon is still a retcon

>not being the one peasant who anally annihilates the upper class

are you me?

Glowing swords mod when? Non fire version

user u are Trve vnderstander now, you must choose.

shitty spellcaster with terrible spells and zero utility

>unironically defending Radious-tier lore rape

...

>brets
>in any way Veeky Forums

really boggin the noggin

>lore rape.
>actual GW armybook stuff is lore rape.
good.

the lore was asking for it

It was old lore. If anything, the newer Bretonnia is the raping.

Bretonnia is meant to be Monthy Python and the Holy Grail: The Faction

New LL when?

>tfw never ever

which would you play?

Any of the Byzantine states or Burgundy

marinids

Imho it's like this:
Bombard - very basic, still really backward compared to imperial artillery, mostly used for sieges, deferenses or by the navy anyway

Handgunners - Too similar to Empire, absolutely doesn't fit into the theme of inbred stupid peasants, would take away from Bretonnia's uniqueness as the chivalrous knightly faction

But it's retconned now and holy water trebs are also pretty cool.

Teutons or Nikaea 2bh

>CA actually won MWNL
>Brettonia looks incredible with cool features

Feels good man

Portugal because they're always a challenge.

>hand cannons are too similar to the empire despite being some of the earliest gunpowder weapons that doesn't fit the theme.

Bretonnia has maritime cities that can support ocean going crews that can support shipbuilders and gunpowder users, but they somehow fit into the faction.

Ayyubids, if they're any good

>Ayyubids are one huge homogeneous block
That's absolutely wrong though. Especially since the mod takes place post-Saladin. The Ayyubids should either control Damascus or Cairo while every other province is a minor emirate all tied to Damascus/Cairo through vassalage.

Since we are all so hot and sweaty about Bretonnia why dont some user stream Excalibur for all of us?

youtube.com/watch?v=GHAhRyfNSBo

There's place for everyone.
Except rats, fuck them.
Although, I guess they could have a mechanic where they build stuff in other faction's cities in the building slots that the faction has not unlocked yet. It would make playing Empire even harder.

Lithuania/Crusader States

Kievan Rus'

>but they somehow fit into the faction.
Because the lady doesn't care about what happens on the sea.
