They sure don't (if you can even create those anymore, keeps getting harder and harder. But Plague priests can be pretty cool [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] ). Troops almost all the way, and some basic characters to lead the retreating armies back to Skavenblight

In the previous edition, my friend and I bought the warhammer boxed set (the one with the lizards and the brets..I must say that the newest edition boxed set is a lot more worth the money), and I took the lizards while he took the brets. Both armies we found equally dull...
Depends a lot on what yo look for in the game. Even though the Bretonnian armylist is pretty limited, they DO have a lot of background. If you invest a little time in the army, it can get quite interesting. One of my two regular oponnents (my father, the other's my brother with Orcs and Goblins, a slowly growing army of Vampire Counts, about 1000 points worth of Wood Elves and a handful of Dark Elves) collects the Bretonnians too, and it's certainly not seen as boring.
Me, I prefer to have a lot of troop choice. But even without that, the Bretonnians are pretty powerful.

And there I was getting it all wrong [img]smile.gif[/img]
But I'll bet Tancred, Duc de Quenelles refers to Duke Tancred as well
Just wondering, which armylists are you all using now?
Those from the fifth edition books? Sixth? The ravening hordes?
Do we have others preferring even older books and rules?
