Peasant Bowmen are called up from the lowborn serfs of Bretonnia's dukedoms, expected to take up their own longbows and engage enemies unworthy of the attention of a knight's attention from afar. Most peasants have trained with the bow from a young age, but to make their numbers count on the battlefield, these archers congregate into massed units that direct volley after volley of arrows into the enemy.

This multipart plastic kit builds 36 Peasant Bowmen, humble archers from the Kingdom of Bretonnia. Each of these conscripted soldiers is armed with a powerful longbow, and the kit comes with four sets of defensive stakes on separate bases to guard against cavalry. The kit includes two command sections – each comprising a standard bearer, a musician with a choice of instruments, and a Villein champion – allowing you to field two regiments of 18 models, or a massive block of 36 models.
The kit also provides optional burning braziers, plus a variety of different heads, command accessories, and peasant luggage, all of which are interchangeable – meaning no two musterings of Peasant Bowmen need to look the same.
This kit contains 223 plastic components, 36x Citadel 25mm Square Bases, 4x Citadel 25x100mm Rectangular Bases, and a Bretonnian Transfer Sheet containing 176 high-quality waterslide transfers.
These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.

When the evil forces gather, and darkness presses in upon the realms of Men, bold heroes muster gleaming hosts in the defence of their homes. In Bretonnia, the earth trembles with the thunder of galloping hooves as noble knights charge to war.
Pegasus Knights are made up almost exclusively of Knights of the Realm, but only the wealthiest and most influential knights can boast of owning a battle-trained pegasus, for the creatures are difficult to capture and harder still to train. Accordingly, to own such a beast is the ultimate symbol of wealth and success for their owners, but in truth, a pegasus is also a great practical boon for any knight fortunate enough to acquire one.
Knights of the Realm make up the bulk of Bretonnia’s nobility and its armed might, and command great respect for both their high station and the deeds they performed to attain it. Knights Errant, however, are the youthful sons and daughters of Bretonnian nobles, bold young warriors who seek any opportunity to earn their spurs under the chivalric code. Heavily armoured, mounted on fine warhorses, and assembled into an unstoppable lance formation, a charge of Bretonnian Knights has the power to shatter enemy hordes like kindling under a woodsman's axe.
Knights on Foot consist of minor nobles belonging to the extended family of a baron or duke. These warriors proudly display the colours and motifs of their lord’s heraldry, often further embellished with personal devices, identifying them as belonging to a single, extended family whilst declaring their individualism and their own stature as nobles.
Men-at Arms are the lowborn regiments of Bretonnia, recruited as children into the household guard of their noble lords. Though humble, they are not to be underestimated – when these simple foot soldiers are gathered for war, they provide vital infantry support for the knights and nobles. Their tall shields emblazoned with the heraldry of their lord, they march forward in a wave of proud colours and carefully polished steel.
This supplement takes an in-depth look at the Kingdom of Bretonnia, exploring the traditions and beliefs of this realm of chivalrous knights and humble peasants. Used in conjunction with Warhammer: the Old World – Forces of Fantasy, this book provides additional rules and content, allowing you to use your collection of bold Bretonnian heroes in new and exciting ways.

The Bretonnians are a warlike and valiant people who willingly seek out battle as a way of securing personal honour and pride. Their armies are feared and respected throughout the Old World, marching to war in the name of the Lady of the Lake, and sweeping aside all opposition on the field of battle.
The Lords of Bretonnia are renowned warriors – Dukes, Barons, and Paladins who charge out to defend their domains – but only the most wealthy and influential can ride a Royal Pegasus into battle. These proud and intelligent creatures are said to be the purest of their kind, and allow their noble riders to quickly engage and trample the foe in pursuit of honour and glory.
