My force will be made up exclusively of mounted models, and no models at all with "The Peasant's Duty." I envision them as a band of crusading knights abroad in the Old World, who pride themselves on moving quickly and do not suffer men-at-arms slowing their progress to do the will of the Lady. As such, my painting style for the force will be to make the knights bright and colorful in their unique heraldry, but with a certain amount of grit and weathering to reflect their well-traveled lives.
My initial purchases will be a box of knights and a paladin/lord. For the character, I intend to use the Green Knight model painted so that all the armor, barding, and clothing will appear to be gold. This will become Lord Tancred, The Gilded Lion of Couronne. The knight box will likely become a unit of 8 Knights Errant, as they will be somewhat easier to paint which will help me get my style down while being forgiving of mistakes.
From there, I will need to get a unit of Knights of the Realm and a BSB Paladin, both of which are compulsory in a Bret army. Rounding out a 1000 point list will be a Damsel (Likely with Lore of Beasts for the buffing), another Knights Errant Unit, and a few Pegasus Knights. Each unit of knights will be accompanied by a character, bringing each unit to 9 models, maximizing the benefits of the lance formation. I'm considering painting an entire unit of Knights Errant in colors similar to Lord Tancred's, to be a personal bodyguard of his sons and nephews. I have not decided if this would look really cool on the table, or if it would look too out of place with all the other very eclectic-colored units.
I'll post again once I get some models and start constructing and painting.
