Bretonnian
Disclaimer: First of all I must say I know Bretonnian is a lesser race most of you don´t care about. In fact I haven't even coached them once myself. But I belive they deserve to have the chance to survive. Expecially after Plasmoid went the distance with his le Pic.

Givin some love to:

.......Man, I love this font

The fumbbl podcast (which is amazing) has several times stated that the races GW dislikes are dead. They may be right but what's the point in letting everything play out as fate given events when we can resist? After I browsed this thread I started to think more and more about this. Effort counts and I can't say whether or not the things presented brings balance to the force or not - but if it where a big IP owner putting it out there - we'd be accepting it. And since this is the father of the bretonnian teams I'm now trying to give you all the option to choose whether to accept it or not.

First I want to start with some general stuff:

Icons
All regular races have been updated behind the scenes recently. I´ve lurked in the threads and discord channels used by the handful people who made this happen and ported most of it to my own league that uses custom icons. I'm continueing their inspiring work by launching a proposed expansion to bretonnian:

Race logo
The question marks representing some races in the games section makes me sad. I respect the choice to have standards for what is acceptable and not and I think we as a community must have tools to meet it. I am far from a genious when it comes to vector graphics but I have tryed to do my best to copy the genre of the existing racial logos when i made this:


192px

128px

96px


64px

48px

32px

And in Vector:

Now to the more debatable stuff:
New Star players
Plasmoid suggests some new induecements. Some are dependent on new FFB coding and that is likely very low on any priority lists for the management. The stars could on the other hand be added to leagues that wishes if done the proper way. Unfortunatly is it impossible to add any stars to the existing bretonnian team in league (unless the admins/NAF finds plasmoids and my efforts to be favourable which I hope will happen in the future). But any new league may add my own custom Bretonnian race that contains it all.

The race can be found in Ruleset 1105. The race has the ID: 3345 and the star players ID: 3346. Add it to your league ruleset via enabling custom rosters and adding them by using add existing rosters and serch for Bretonnian (by me: Frylen).

The Stars:

End notes
Most of the icon stuff are tweaks from existing icons by the great icon masters of fumbbl and secret league. The profile pictures also contains material I've recycled and tweaked into new pictures combined with own material. I hope this blog entry makes some/any impact at all.


TL/DR
A lot of stuff for a race that not that many play

If only GW cared as much as you :(
Posted by Burnalot on 2019-11-10 01:32:22
Outstanding stuff! Very well done.

This is great stuff. thanks for the effort, much appreciated.

While I do stand by my view that Brettonnians are dead to GW and very very unlikely to see the inside of an official rule book, I love 'em. NAF has them placed about right tier wise, they offer a unique challenge and skillset, and I have coached them on fumbbl in [L](to a 7/0/2 record). I also adore Slann, and will miss them if they go from any format. But it doesnt stop my pessimism. (Khorne can do one, don't care).

It's great you note what is NAF sanctioned as the NAF Bretonnian roster, and what is fan added, though I personally like plasmoids suggestions and he has done his research well, they fit the team and are call backs to past stars. The situation is confusing to people enough without us all not being incredibly clear what is sanctioned by whom and can be used where. It would be sad to see someone turn up to a table top tournament with a plasmoid suggested star.

I waited for the race logo for long and got more! Logo and icons were updated for [L]eague, NAFC and EB2020 Training. Peasant icon updated the CIBBL/BIBBL ones too.

Posted by det on 2019-11-10 14:55:08
Awesome stuff! Nice to see such love for teams!
Posted by Frylen on 2019-11-10 17:42:39
Thank you for the kind words! I must say I'm very glad the icons and logo came to use :) I think I should try to play Bretonnians myself someday

Despise that roster (list) with passion, however great great work. I have doubts about that last blitzer's plume showing up as you'd want it. I think it would be better being the yellow from the tunic or the team colour i.e. red or blue.
Posted by MattDakka on 2019-11-10 19:01:32
Brilliant work Sir, bravo!
I agree with harvestmouse about the blitzer's plume: green doesn't match the rest of the tunic.

And your new profile picture ;)
Posted by Lorebass on 2019-11-10 20:35:31
Right, the profile picture!!! With your two powers combined... Are you The Riddler?

Nice work! Bretonnians were added while I was playing a lot of WFB and they've always been an interesting race to me. I like the team and its concept.
Posted by plasmoid on 2019-11-11 12:32:52
Awesome work.
Hats off to you:)
Posted by Jim_Fear on 2019-11-11 15:20:19
Excellent work, Frylen.
I happen the like the green plume.
Posted by MattDakka on 2019-11-11 18:17:03
Chaos Renegades and Underworld need your art too. :P
Posted by Rbthma on 2019-11-11 20:28:22
Amazing work, really enjoy the icon updates!
Posted by garyt1 on 2019-11-13 05:09:16
Great work!
I thought GW liked Bretonians seeing as they are a Warhammer Fantasy Army list based team. Also I thought Slaan were replaced by Kislev. Not loved anymore? Or maybe that was just in Cyanide.
