Old World Damsel.

Today while working on a fresh batch of Night Goblin Archers, I decided to rebase an old Bretonnian Damsel model I painted up some time ago. The new Warhammer edition upgrades a lot of the bases sizes, making them bigger than before. They decided upon this to help with ranking up, since a lot of their models jutted up against each other with limbs and weapons getting in the way.

So the Damsel herself is originally on a 20mm square base, and instead of treating the Bretonnian army much in the same way as my Orcs and Goblins, with adapter movement trays, I'm going to base them according to their profiles in the old world. With this, I have the opportunity to base them differently to how I usually base my green skins, and as such I've opted for a more natural and vibrant method to basing.

To start with, I use textured paint for the base itself, specifically Vallejo Brown Earth Diorama Effect. Once dry, I dry brush Citadel Dry Eldar Flesh to add some texture to the base, followed by a wash of Citadel Seraphim Sepia. The Base itself looked quite brown, and I though it would be good to add some green, but instead of doing with a wash or paint, I decided to use some old flock I still have in a tub called Woodland Scenic Blended Turf - Green Blend. Sparingly all over the base I coat it, so that the brown still shows through the gaps.

To complete the base, I pulled out some new flower tufts I bought, and added two to the front of the base, and some regular grass tufts to the back. A quick black on the rim and now she looks ready to fight off some Orcs and Goblins.

This is the start of my Bretonnia list I have planned. Knights, peasants, pegasi and even a trebuchet.
