Knights of Bretonnia (Warhammer Omnibus)

Product Information

A joint undead- Skaven army lead by Lichmaster Heinrich Kemmler and a Wight Lord named Krell attacked and sacked the aforementioned sacred Abbey of the Lady. Most of Bretonnia’s hills are devoted to pastoral farming, whilst the plains and valleys are arable.

A Bretonnian duke has royal power within their dukedom, but is still subject to the commands of the king. Though the greenskins fell like wheat before the scythe, the last of the knights of Cuileux were killed to a man. Approximately five hundred years later, around one thousand years before the time of Sigmar, a second wave of human migration crossed over the Worlds Edge Mountains in tens of thousands, escaping the rampages of the greenskin threat. As they clasped forearms as brothers, the Lady of the Lake appeared and gave Balduin a drink from the Holy Grail, thus becoming the sixth Grail Companion. Just when all hope seemed lost and the army was almost at the breaking point, a host of both Empire and Bretonnian knights charged furiously at the tightly packed army, mowing down the lightly armoured soldiers until finally the armies were scattered by the sudden death of Jaffar by a Bretonnian lance.Firstly, nearly all the ships in Estalian and Bretonnian ports had already sailed to Araby with the first army. As the years went by, one of the most recent and major battles fought took place near and within La Maisontaal Abbey, located around the Grey Mountains. 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. Peasant families are responsible for one strip each, and differences in treatment mean many fields look somewhat stripy.

Many peasants are starving, and knights who use courtesy to cloak brutality are found throughout the land. Among the tribes of the Bretonni it became the custom for the best and bravest young man in the village to be armed and ready at all times to fight off foes. Upon their arrival, they found that the Forest of Loren was in flames, assaulted by another army of orcish warriors. The Grail Companions each took out a Dark Champion of the army, with the battle ending when Duke Landuin struck down the sorcerer who was controlling the undead warriors, destroying nearly half the enemy army, forcing the beastmen to retreat.The hardy dwarfs that dwelled within the mountains around these lands rejoiced, for the Bretonnians had dealt a serious blow to their ancient enemy, and they bestowed much praise and honour upon the knights. Slog into battle on foot, naturally, beautifully represented by this diverse kit of heavily armoured warriors who can be equipped with two-handed great weapons or swords and shields. Hearing of the great victory, his force did not press on into the desert kingdom, feeling saddened at the loss of such a glorious campaign. Using the same method used against the Empire, the Skaven unleashed the Red Pox upon the sewer networks of the city of Bordeleaux. With the aid of the combined armies, the knights drove the greenskins back, defeated them, and turned the waters of the river black with blood.

Many elven colonies dotted the coast and larger rivers during the first years of their colonisation, of which the most famous was the city of Tor Alessi. They were finally overcome by the heroic actions of the great Duke Tancred II d'Quenelles and his proud companion knights, who pushed the hordes back with a devastating charge and disrupted the sorcerous hold that held the army together.Without her backing, it was difficult for the Grail Knights to denounce Maldred for dishonour and declare war on him. Castle Couronne - Castle Couronne is the ducal capital of Couronne, famous for being the capital and seat of power of Louen Leoncoeur, current Royarch of Bretonnia. The earliest days of Bretonnian history are not well recorded, though it has been conjectured that as within the wider world, it may have once been ruled over by the cold-blooded Lizardmen at the dawn of the planet's creation. One of the Bretonni Dukes, however, did not give way to despair and was determined to unite all of his people into a single nation.

However, some of the dukedoms' capitals are cities that were built either as trade-hubs or ports to the sea.

The royarch in theory has the legal right to do anything he pleases within his realm, and has the ability to create new laws or legislation at a whim should he wish it.
