Templar Knights
So, for the Brettonians, I had been thinking of painting each lance of Knights in the same color scheme, then John pointed me to the Templar Knights. I think would be a very easy color scheme to stick with and would look good on the board.
What does a lance of Knights consist of?
I like the red on white, or the red on cream/brown
I wonder if it would be possible to roll out some green stuff thing enough to do this...

Templars would be awesome. A Lance is usually 6 for Bretonians, I think.
6 Knights constitute a lance. Pidge, in WHFB a unit must be 5 models wide to be able to use it's rank bonuses, but Brettonians only have to be 3 wide. Most lances have 9 Knights in them, 3 wide and 3 deep.
My thoughts were:
Grail Knights in Black surcoats with Gold crosses.
Knights of the Realm in White surcoats with Red crosses.
Knights Errant in a plain tan/off white with no heraldry to show their rookie status.
Men at arms in a light blue.
Bowman in forest green.
Grail Relique pilgrims in red.
And actually you can have an incomplete rank of 2 knights that both still fight....like this
KKK
KK
KKK
so you still get the 5 knight attacks even with an incomplete rank as per Bret book.
KKKK
KKK
KKKK
ETC where obviously K=knight and enemy are to the left.
Oh and all the rabble should be in drab tans/grays/browns...muted greens if you really want the look of peasant rabble. No real uniformity to the models either...possibly the standard would show something to tie in to the Templar/Hospitaller motif.
