hi all i was thinking of collecting a bretonnia army and was thinking of doing a army based on either the knights templar or teutonic knights and was wondering what to have in it any ideas please i really need help???

I would think that using a Britonnia army already sets a tretty good Templar theme. After that its just a matter of how you paint them.

The Bretonnian army is pretty versatile when it comes to painting, but no reason you cant adopt a standard theme personally Id prefer the Teutonic Knights

Check out this site its dedicated to Bretonnian stuff

For Teutonic Knights I think you'd actually do better going Empire. Teutonic Knights were more Germanic than French Renaissance, as Empire is more Germanic than Bretonnia. This also more freely allows Dogs of War and state troops to fill the more varied mercenary and levee troops fitting for their foot soldiers.

For a Templar army, my advice (in a fun-only non-tournament setting) is to get the old Storm of Chaos summer supplement then use the Errantry War list and rules. Especially if you're looking for a Dan Brown Da Vinci Code type of Templar theme... this would allow the Damsel(s) to fill the role of Holy Grail Your Grail Knight champions inside your Knight Errant units would be Inner Circle Members, whereas your paladins and combat Lords would fill nicely as Grand Masters, Senechals and so forth.

You know the Brits have suffer hard knights and weak peasants. Would it not be nice to have something in between. But how could you take a knight and steal his horse and put him on the ground. I guess that would be a real insult to him. Just a thought.

Every army has a weakness or two. Removing the weaknesses wouldn't be fair or fun.
