So I recently have gotten into playing Bretonnia for Warhammer Fantasy. I want to add a Grail Reliquae to my army. The model itself is rather expensive ($50) and the pilgrims are just as bad. ($17.25 for a pack of 3!) So another $100+ just to max out the pilgrims. So I'm looking at an easy $150+ if I want to buy them direct to be able to use the official ones.
So I decided to just make my own!
For the pilgrims I decided to do a kit bash of some left over Men at Arms I haven't assembled yet, some Empire Free company, and Empire Flagellants. I just wish there was more then 10 Flagellants in a box set. The Flagellant weapons won't work, but I like the bodies and the heads. Still note sure about the Free Company though. I might drop them and get 2 boxes of the Flagellants instead. I was thinking of using THESE PLAIN SHIELDS or maybe THESE SHIELDS, or maybe get them both and mix it up.
Now for the Reliquae itself.
Fluff wise, part of me thinks that the Bretonnia nobles would take offense to the idea of a bunch of lowly peasants carrying around the remains of a dead Grail Knight. So I want to make a mobile shrine to some fallen Grail Knight instead.
As for the wagon I'm think I'm going to use THIS WAGON. I really like the it has that big cloth over hanging on the sides. It really leaves it open to paint all sorts of things on the sides of it. I'm just a bit concerned about the size. It says it's for a 28mm range, so it should work. I'll just stick peasants behind it like they are pushing the thing.
So what to put in the wagon?!?
Going with the shrine idea I think I would use THIS FOR THE ALTAR. I would need to remove the skulls on the top and on the sides. This isn't a Empire unit after all. :laugh: I could put some relics form the knight on it. Like maybe a shield, or sword, or a grail of some sort on it. I would like to put some sort of "statue" behind it. I'm note sure what to use. I would really like to use something that's posed LIKE THIS or close to it. After doing some searching, I couldn't find anything that I felt looked "Bretonnia knight-ish" enough. The only thing I found was THIS MODEL. It's not bad, I would just have to clip off that weapon and maybe repalce it with a lace, sword, or a grail of some sort. I'm not sure what that is behind him though. That's the only real part that bothers me.
Anyways, any feed back or other suggestions would be quite welcomed.
Thanks!
