- Quite a few of you got curious when seeing my Warhammer Fantasy miniatures in the background of my videos. So Here I show you my Bretonnian army and how I paint them, what colours I use, what techniques and why I chose the colour patters that I did :)
I hope you enjoy this video
If you do I will make more :D

Warhammer is a miniature wargame with a medieval fantasy theme produced by Games Workshop and released for the first time in 1983. It simulates battles between armies from different factions. The game is no longer supported; the new version of it is Warhammer:Age of Sigmar. Players use miniature models to represent warriors and vehicles. The playing field is a model battlefield comprising scale models of buildings, trees, hills, etc... Players take turns moving their uniots made of model warriors across the battlefield and fight the units of other players. The outcomes of fights between the models are determined by dice rolls and the statistics (strenght, armor, weapon skill, etc...) of the units.
Warhammer is set in a fictional universe notable for its "dark and gritty" background world. There are two prominent human nations: The Empire which is based on a combination of aspects of the Holy Roman Empire and Renaissance Germany, and Bretonnia, which is based on Arthurian legends and medieval France. Elves and Dwarfs, Chaos and Undeads, Lizardmen and Skaven, Orcs and Norse are other races that live in this fantasy setting and from which the players can choose an army to use on the tabletop battleground.

A livestream of Metatron painting and just talking about stuff he likes would sound like a pleasant experience.
With the mandatory pasta of course
Legit ASMR
"Peasant Experience" for painting Bretonnian's.
Painting Warhammer figures in Elder Scrolls colours is nerdy, but doing that whilst wearing an actual breastplate of armour just breaks the nerdometer!
I think that the style of the video, low voice and calm music, is pretty fantastic, you should do more video like theese.
"Let's add... let's add some happy little trees here!"
I like the music as well! Especially the music at 8:26 which is 'Song of the Goddess: The Eternal Path' by Erutan (aka katethegreat19). She actually composed the song for Dragon Nest SEA and if you're interested, Erutan uploaded the full song on TH-cam too, it can be found here: th-cam.com/video/q4GlvOHk0Y4/w-d-xo.html And it gets even better, there's a free download link in the description. As far as I know, the link should still be working.
@@cals.8221 thanks, I was going to ask for ir, fell it will be perfect for an ambiance track for a tabletop roleplaying game
Don't be afraid to modify the miniatures, you coud always scrape away the metal rigs on the shields ;)
Liked the video, fresh air, a little goofy, perfect.
Maybe its Possible to modify the Figures with a 3 d Pen .
Beat me to it! Right though, two mins with a craft knife and a nail file would take care of them easy. A model never feels quite finished to me til I've carved some chunks out of it!
with a 3d Pen you can make Horns and attache to the Helmet so can you make a Teutonic Knigt .
Well since it’s a quiet video there’s only one response for a Warhammer video
WWWWAAAAGGGGGHHHHHH
Greeeeennnn iz daa bbeeeessssttt!!!!
Greeeeennnn iz daa bbeeeessssttt!!!!!!
WAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!
The synthetic grass on the base...simply beautiful!
I always liked the brettonians. Unfortunately back when they were more available I didn’t have to money for multiple armies so I focused on 40k Imperial Guard. I love your paint scheme, yellow looks great on the battlefield
Look on etsy you might find copies of them
Warhammer fantasy is coming back.
Either hunt stuff down now or save up for new releases.
LOVE Bretonnia! They are my main army, and I now use them in my Equitaine list for The 9th Age.
Love your painting scheme too: I modeled my units after different religious orders from the medieval era, and I loved learning about them as I painted up new groups.
Rad idea. ;)
:O I didn't know you were a fan of Warhammer Metatron, that's awesome, do you also like 40k? If you do what's your favourite faction? 🤗
P.s. Loved this video very relaxing cool to see how you did your miniatures and see you just relaxing with your friends, also those paintings were gorgeous!
Only faction in 40k that can be favourite is The Imperium because Emperor wills it.FOR THE EMPEROR!!!!
But orks are cool too.
I suspect he's a WF fan as the setting is late middle ages transitioning into early modern period (14th-16th C)
pretty sure he's only a fan of WH as he is a medieval enthusiast and pretty much never* talks about scifi..
*he has made 1 video about Star Wars' lightsaber and thats the only scifi video im aware of and couldnt find any others
You foolish mortal. The Silent King may be clement and leave a semblance of personality when he throws every last of you in the biotransferance chamber!
You made the Town Soldiers from Oblivion! That's so cute!!
Warhammer, TES, and Metatron all together in one video? What a time to be alive!
First I saw you're making hystorical videos, then I saw u painting minis, all the content I just ever wanted. Man, like your channel, gonna spend my weekend watching your vids.
I'm in the hobby since 2012 and I really enjoy it too!!! :)
As someone mentioned before, you can always file the edges of the shields. There is also decal paper where you can print your own logos for the shields so you don't have to paint each one. Ciao!
Omg this is awesome, it would be awesome to see you do historical evaluations on some of the other races and factions in Warhammer.
Dude, I absolutely love the theme you are going with here. Awesome work, from a fellow collector!
Ahhhhhh... beautiful armies. I am (or was.... thanks ever so much geedubs) Vampire Counts player myself. The Slaanesh champion looks absolutely smashing, and so do greenskins. All in all, it's always nice to see another WHFB player cultivating old system.
FOR ZE LADY AND COUNTESS!
Metatron is a Warhammer Nerd? Awesome. Plus, that drawing of Geralt is breathtaking, is there any way I can commission something?
As a mini painter and medieval history lover.. This was awesome!! Would love more of these videos
Thank you for showing this video, i enjoyed it alot.
I have been painting for a while and it makes me happy to hear some one speak with such passion and joy about just painting them.
Hope to see alot more of this, keep up the awesome work!
You, sir... are a legend. Nice miniatures, boss.
That's some great yellow work.
I was Vampire Counts player back in the day
My god... Thats some piece of Art here! Your painting looks brilliant Metatron, you are an amazingly talented person. Wish I had friends like you to play warhammer and spar with.
I'd be overjoyed with you doing reviews over the fantasy armies in Warhammer. It's one thing to listen to lore channels such as Loremaster_of_Sotek and The Inept General, but hearing the sword community discuss it is a dream I didn't know I wanted till now!
I learnt some new techniques from Metatron-dono. Cork for painting figurines and pizza boxes for spray painting primers.
very Italian
Well, I didn't expect nothing less than a very good job from the child of an artist ;) keep it up!
Glegionar wait what??
@@aerontargerian7223 his father is a painter :D
Big RIP to Brettonia. Have you ever checked out Perry miniatures? Historically accurate and pretty good looking. Cost less than Warhammer, too.
weren't Perry brothers the ones that designed bretonians? I believe they were more into historical wargaming than fantasy
Wouldn't using cast gold miniatures be cheaper than Games Workshop?
I got into painting miniatures at the beginning of this year. I'm currently painting the Star Wars Imperial Assault boardgame set. I've been watching you for years and I never knew you were into this. It was pretty cool watching you briefly touch on some of the techniques that you use which I have recently learned. Great work with the oblivion symbols by the way! Those little details are so hard to get right. I am very interested in seeing more videos like this.
Impressive work, my man. I really enjoy your freehand designs on the shields. I've also gotten back into miniature painting in my adult life. There's one youtuber you'd really enjoy--wargamers, soldiers, and strategy. Christy does amazing work, and she's also a very good teacher. I know I've benefited a lot from her tutorials.
A good-looking army indeed! Love their green tunics!
I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. Definitely wouldn´t mind more of this type of content. Skingrad was my favourite as well, always had my house there.
Amazing video and being a warhammer fan i clicked after seeing a word "Bretonnia"
I used to love painting warhammer figures years ago. Blood Angels and Orcs were my thing :)
My respects to the end times destroying the WHFB universe.
RIP
I recommend a slightly darker undercoat than pure white, some kind of grey. some cases, a unifying wash to darken those little corners that can be a real pain to get to.
Oh and also for a first basecoat darken your pigments just a little, then apply the second coat as pure pigment, leaving the gaps for a smooth shadow.
I had to get through a lot of heavily armoured Orcs and the wash and two-tone shadows were my mightiest weapons.
I love this video, I don't play Warhammer but I love miniatures, so thoroughly enjoyed this video
Nice pfp
@@Swedishmafia101MemeCorporation ha thanks
@@Swedishmafia101MemeCorporation nice profile pic
I would definitely love to see more Warhammer on your channel 😁
Saludos desde Estalia amigo de Bretonnia!.
Well Dem humies don't stand a chance against doze Ork boiz.
Lol. nice job metatron! Didn't know you were a fan of the hobby, but I wouldn't mind hearing more about your armies. I play 40k, but I have Grey Knights for that fantasy feel
Aaahhh im addicted to total war war hammer still but i prefer the Dwarves bc i love strategy involving the missile units:0
This is such a cool video and a nice change from your usual content. Great idea!
I don't know how much there is to say about his hobby but consider making more.
Beautiful work Metatron. Truly pleasing to the eye. And I do like that you took inspiration from TES 4. One of my favorite games. ;) I also do agree that Bretonnia is one of the best looking armies in the Warhammer Fantasy universe. As far as Total Warhammer goes, it has been the army I almost always plays.
Before Bretonnia was taken out as an official army out of Warhammer: Age of Sigmar, and before Age of Sigmar was a thing even, I was intent on getting my hands on some Bretonnian miniatures. When I read the news several years ago that Bretonnia was removed from the game as an official playable army I was sad not only because of that but because of Warhammer Fantasy being cancelled. Now I'll be lucky if I'll get my hands on Bretonnian miniatures for a cheap enough price. But by the Lady do I want a Bretonnian army of my own. They scream of the 13th-14th century medieval period and that is my favorite specific era of the medieval period(I like the entirety of the medieval period the most of all human time periods but even more so when it comes to the 13th and the 14th centuries as well as the 15th century).
Of course I like all history, both human historyand that which does not concern humans in the slighest, but my personal favorite time period is the middle ages. ^^ That is a major reason why I love Bretonnia and because they're powerful.
Might I suggest customizing your men at arms in such a way by equipping them with heater shields instead of their pavise shields? I think you might come to prefer that kind of style. ;)
Wow, now I wanna get Warhammer Fantasy
Yeah, about that...
I'd love to see more of these
I'd love to see more of this.
I liked this video metatron. Obviously still keep doing your normal historical videos butdoing these every once in awhile maybe even talk about certain parts of the races lore that you like, would definitely be a good idea. I'm looking forward to more of these. Nice job on the vid ^^
geez this is a really interesting thing to see, would like more
this video
it's inspirational, man is very relaxin to see you paint these i ll probably restart to paint some of my minis :)
Hey there from sculptor youtuber. Great to see your passion of crafting!
The joy of painting with Metatron Ross
The Lady smiled upon you! Brettonians were my first fantasy army, always loved the knights and Arthurian theme to them. THe men at arms tho useless peasants simply to die for my knights have always been great models.
I like bretonnia wish I played them back in the day, but tomb kings and dark elves is what I collected. Wish warhammer fantasy was still a thing. Those bretonnian men at arms look great keep up the good work.
That Song of the Goddess @8:28 , NICE!
would love to see you painting it LIVE with friends and those sweet 15min breaks
This was really interesting, i must admit im kinda attempted to try it out now, even though the pavise shields having metal rims isnt too historically accurate it makes the shields look badass
Beautiful work. Well done!
wow..I just kept thinking 'Where does he keep all of that?' ..and your friend that draws...damn..I wish I could draw like that
If you practise, practise, practise every day, you would become that good too. If you had the determination, will, interest and the patience to get good at it.
Do you though? Or do you just think how interesting it would be to draw that good what your life might be like if you could draw that good but aren't particulary interested in pursuing it?
Another reason you might not want to pursue it(if you don't that is), which could be a very major reason, is because you simply might not have time I suppose.
I'm so glad you pointed me this direction! These look GREAT.
Ya, this is good. A few like this could be fun.
What a wonderful life, too pursue all your passions and make a living. Great video!
Wow your patience and time is amazing! Such detail; do you ever make a mistake? I just walk with racehorses - love them - that would take such a precise touch...amazing! I'm 66 and could never do that! Missed your "closing music" though! Great job, Raf!
I have greenskins, chaos dwarfs, wood elves, skaven, and lizardmen. Some people think i have a problem, others say i have the solution. I would love to see more Warhammer videos.
Another fantasy player! Hail to you from a Dwarf and Empire general!
More painting videos!!! Painting elves would be great! Painting Warriors of Chaos and/or the orcs would also be good!
i would love to see how you paint the elves - also that oli paint of geralt of rivia looks amazing :O and you are pretty good at painting the symbols on the shields. I love Bretonnia too :D
The Oblivion esque inspiration suits those brets pretty well! At first sight I thought the yellow men at arms were inspired by the Holy Roman Empire / empire of sigmar iconography.
Great paint jobs and I really enjoyed your friend's artwork as well. Thanks for sharing.
Interesting to see you as Fan of the Elder Scrolls. TES Oblivion is one of the most beautiful RPGames of all times. I Love the sound, the landscapes, the many singular places like the arena. the academy, the gold coast.
Ahhh yess the brets.. my favorite faction in WH.
If you haven’t painted the green knight yet, you could design him after the knight of the nine from the Oblivion dlc. He’s got that crusader look, and it would fit in with him being a legendary figure among these men-at-arms. Plus, a crusader-style knight would look more interesting than just ghostly green in my opinion. Loved the video btw! Always loved Bretonnia and wish I could get my hands on some models.
I love your mini's. They look awesome, and the symbols on the shields from oblivion look amazing. I'm currently painting a war of the roses army, I would like if you made more videos about your miniatures. Cheers!
Realy nice free handing on your part. The eagles look realy good.
This was fun, hope you do some more ;]
This was great vid Metatron. You should do an evaluation of all the WH fantasy armies. Personally I love the lizardmen, because well, T-Rexes. I mean what else do you have to say after that. But I also really like their lore. I just wish I had the kind or artistic talent you have when painting them.
Soooooo damn jealous....wish I had at least some painting skill!
Hello Metatron, as an ex Warhammer player i have spent years painting. I have noticed you use silver as base coat, have you ever tried black as a base coat? It helps create shadows when you have finished painting ...saluti Leonardo💪
*puts down spray can of chaos black "ill just leave this here"
Did not notice sorry
Dipende sai? Negli eserciti come l`Impero e Bretonnia, dove le livree sono sgargianti e molto colorate meglio utilizzare il primer bianco, sopratutto con modelli piuttosto piccoli come le fanterie e gli eroi senza cavalcautra. Il nero va bene se devi dipingere miniature più grandi diciamo di un uomo, e comunque sempre utilizzato come primo primer, ossia fare una base nera e poi una bianca, non completa, che dia l`effetto luce e permetta alla base nera di far risaltare le ombre.
Great, now I have this overwhelming urge to start playing oblivion again
Most excellent.
Such dedication..
Just amazing!
Thanks!
This is so wholesome
Definitely make more.
I'm a big Warhammer fan myself. And yes Bretonia is very cool. My favs however have always been elves,be they High,Dark,or Wood. I'd love to see your Elf armies:)
Great group !
I recently just got into miniature war gaming, and started collecting 40k minis (Astra Militarum). Chose my particular army since they look like normal modern soldiers. I've been also interested in historical war games too (bolt action, osprey). I might start building up a collection of feudal japan minis and WW2 minis too! Keep making war gaming videos! [edit] Forgot to mention that I started collecting Age of Sigmar Karadron Overloads just cuz they look cool. Middle Earth Minis look interesting too...
Good stuff, nice collection amigo!
Oh, maaaan... I always said you're a man of culture as well; even more since I had seen your models in the background. So, first off: your video put me in the mood to paint some knights and to eat some pasta. I know that usually the tabletop miniatures don't get too much detail and weathering thrown in because of all the handling and moving across the board, but do you also paint historically accurate miniatures too? Like I don't know, roman legionaries, panzers, planes, warships etc? Of course I would love to see a whole series on your modelling techniques. Cheers, Metatron!
PS: your friend painting looked wonderful and so cool; he should definitely be on devianart or artstation.
Why am I watching this instead of doing my job painting minis.
...
Oh right, because it's good content.
very nice.
had hoped, people would still do this today, despite omnipresent internet ...
Could you do a video exploring the armours of warhammer 40,000 , I would be very interested in seeing your thoughts on the different marks of armour, which of them would or wouldn’t work and why.
Looks good. I actually just bought my first army for AOS. Wood elves. You mentioned that you have elves I'd love to see them.
I would like to See more paintingvideos from you :)
This was amazing!
for all miniature painters out there. get painting and have fun!
I wish i had that many miniatures. I have some wh 40k ones (enough for a small Guardsman Army with one Leman Russ) But I really don't have enough money to buy more
Very nice. Like that you don't use stencils for the coat of arms. Gives the fell that each is personalized and made not by the same smith.
Those are some roight propa 'umies!
FOR THE EMPIRE! Handgunners form lines! Iron Companies! MAKE THE GUNS READY!
Let's blast them back to their "Lady!" IN THE NAME OF SIGMAR! :P
For Karl Franz!
Black powder cowards! Ride them down, my knights. FOR THE LADY!!
Sigmar is with us!
Let's see how their "chivalry" far against powder, steel, faith, and courage.
@@HaloFTW55 Let's fight in really damp conditions and see how effective your guns will be against our lances
Both of you Imperials and Bretonnians would do good to learn from our Estalian Tercio Forrmations our Pikes works well with either Handguns or Crossbows.
Definitely would like to see more Warhammer painting!
Also, consider doing some Total War let's plays/live steams, time permitting of course :D
1:25 I knew it I knew it was bruma I thought that paint scheme looked familiar
Thoughts and prayers for kvatch
