Bretonnian Warbands

By Sir Tomaso De Merrigan

This is a time when the Empire is being torn

apart from within. A time when there is no

Emperor and the lands are increasingly divided,

as individual cities look to their own lords and

mercantile Burgomeisters gain in power

through gold. Where corruption flows like

effluent down the River Reik and conspiracy is

rife throughout the land. By contrast, happy is

the land of Bretonnia where chivalry reigns,

honour is upheld and the Lady of the Lake still

bestows her favour on those deemed worthy. To

the knights of Bretonnia Mordheim is a vile

place where virtue and order have been

discarded. Where a proud city once stood

nightmarish creatures now wander the streets

and mix with men in dens of corruption and

squalor. It is therefore considered extremely

virtuous for a knight to embark on a spiritual

quest to Mordheim, seeking to achieve honour

in battle and perhaps earn the favour of the

Lady of the Lake herself. In Mordheim a knight’s

courage and valour will be thoroughly tested,

but so much the better, because with hardship

come honour.

following him, ready to fight for the honour of

Bretonnia and the Lady of the Lake.

Once on a quest a Knight will be spurred on by

dreams and visions often visited upon him by

the Lady of the Lake. This leads him ever

onwards and inspires and encourages him on

his quest. In time he hopes that through his

deeds and valour he will earn the favour of the

Lady of the Lake and she will let him drink from

the Grail of Life. This is the final reward for a

knight, and on finding the Grail he will return to

Bretonnia to protect its people. Until that time

though, he is bound to fight the enemies of

virtue and order and to endure incalculable

hardships.

Special Rules

Before heading into battle Bretonnian Knights

kneel and pray to the Lady of the Lake, avowing

to fight to the death for honour and justice.

Before playing a game of Mordheim make a

Leadership test against the Leadership

characteristic of the warbands leader. If the test

is successful the Lady of the Lake has bestowed

her blessing on the warband. The blessing takes

the form of a powerful curse upon the enemies

of chivalry, and in particular upon those that

make use of the foul and dishonourable

weapons of mass destruction. Any model in the

opposing warband who wishes to fire a black

powder weapon must roll a D6 and score 4+ to

overcome the curse, otherwise they may not fire

the weapon. The opposing player must test

each time they wish to fire such a weapon.

Models armed with other shooting weapons,

such as bows and crossbows, do not have to test

unless they dare raise their weapons against the

gallant Knights of Bretonnia. If any enemy

model wishes to shoot at a Bretonnian Knight

(Questing Knights and Errants only) , then they

must first roll a 4+ on a D6 to overcome the

curse.

A Questing Knight will relinquish his castle and

domain to set out on such a journey. He

becomes free from any obligation to defend a

domain and will now seek a road leading to new

adventures. A Questing Knight has put all

worldly ambitions aside and is accorded a rank

far greater then even the most powerful dukes

of the land. Such a gesture is considered

particularly noble, and it is not uncommon for

other knights and common folk to flock to the

Questing Knights aid. Knights Errant in

particular are eager for adventure and a chance

to win honour by a feat of arms, so will often

join a Questing Knight on his journey. By the

time the Questing Knight leaves the fair lands of

Bretonnia he will have a sizable retinue

Choice of Warriors

A Questing Knight’s warband must include a

minimum of three models. You have 500 gold

crowns to recruit your

initial warband. The

maximum number of

warriors in the warband may

never exceed 12.

Questing Knight: Each

Questing Knight’s warband

must have one Questing Knight:

no more, no less!

Knight Errant: Your warband

may include up to two Knight

Errant.

Squires: Your warband may

include up to three squires. You

may not have more squires in the

warband then you have Knights.

Men-at-arms: Your warband may

include any number of Men-at-

Arms.

Bowmen: Your warband may

include any number of Bowmen.

Starting Experience

The Questing Knight starts with 20

experience.

Knights Errant start with 8 experience.

Squires start with 0 experience.

Henchmen start with 0 experience.

Special Equipment

Barding (rare 11): Barding is armour for a

horse in the same way that light armour is

armour for a human. It covers the mount’s hide,

and in some cases, its head. A model mounted

on a barded horse receives an extra +1 to their

armour save (+2 instead of the usual +1 for

being mounted). In addition, a mount wearing

barding

will only be

killed on a D6

roll of a 1 if the

model is taken out

of action (instead of a 1 or

2). Barding may only ever be

bought for a warhorse.

1 Questing Knight

80 gold crowns to hire

A Questing Knight is an extremely tough and

virtuous individual, who fights to uphold the

traditions of honour and to serve the Lady of

the Lake. Injustice and the persecution of the

weak are his enemies, whilst courage and valour

are his companions. It is no wonder then that

many a Questing Knight will journey to

Mordheim.

service to his master he may even be raised to

the ranks of knighthood!
