To the west of the Empire is the proud land of Bretonnia. It is ruled with honour by its noble king and his valiant knights.

The Bretonnian army uses the following restrictions for army selection instead of the ones at the start of this book.

Any unit of foot troops in the army (except skirmishers) may upgrade a model to a Champion, musician or standard bearer for +10 points each. Any unit of cavalry may upgrade a model to a Champion, musician or standard bearer for +15 points each. A Champion will have +1BS if the unit he is with is equipped with bows or longbows, otherwise he will have +1A. A standard bearer from the following units may carry a magic banner worth up to 50 points: Knights Errant, Knights of the Realm, Questing Knights, Grail Knights.

The following special rules apply to the Bretonnian army.

• Bretonnian knights never get rank bonus.
• Bretonnian warhorses do not suffer -1 Movement for barding.
• Bretonnian Knights (Knights Errant, Knights of the Realm, Questing Knights and Grail Knights - not mounted Squires) always use a special formation called a lance. This has 1 model in the first rank, 2 in the second, 3 in the third, and so on. When it charges it stops as soon as the first model contacts the enemy, and all the models in the charging unit fight (as long as they have an enemy model directly in front of them). Individual knights fight as if they were in base-to-base contact with the enemy model(s) directly in front of them (even if there is another knight between them and the enemy). Enemy models may fight back against any knight that could attack them. The enemy may fight with any models that are physically touching the knights, plus one more for each two knights who are fighting, but not actually in base contact. If your opponent survives the first round of combat and does not break, you lose the formation and reform like skirmishers into "normal ranks". In this formation only models in base contact fight. Remember that Bretonnian knights never get rank bonus.
• The arc of sight, as well as the front, flank and rear arcs of the lance as a whole, are considered to be the same as those of the models in the widest complete rank. If the Knights are charged they form into normal ranks and files facing the enemy that just charged them. This is done in the same way as forming up a unit of Skirmishers. The enemy will get the normal +1 or +2 for flank or rear charges. You must reform (as per the normal rules) in order to readopt lance formation in the first turn the unit is free to do so.
  
  Characters who have joined a lance fight according to the above rules. Characters are always placed on the outside edge of the lance, as close to the front as possible.
  
  If the Bretonnian army would move first in the battle they may choose to sacrifice this opportunity and pray instead. This means that their opponent gets the first turn, but also gives the Bretonnians some protection from missiles. Each time the enemy wishes to fire a war machine they must roll a 4+ on 1D6. If they fail it does nothing. Each individual trooper with a missile weapon must also roll a 4+ each time he wishes to shoot. Note that if the Bretonnians would move second anyway they may not pray
• Bretonnian wizards may use the Beasts, Fire, Metal, Life, Heavens and Light lores of magic from the Warhammer rulebook.
