From WD 277, Warhammer Chronicles. Gav Thorpe writes of plans for the coming year. The sentance that has all true Bretonnians raising their glasses in celebration reads "before the end of the year, we hope to relase Warhammer Armies - Bretonnia"
There is some stuff about their plans for Bretonnia: "we plan to have expanded rules for Knightly Virtues, a greater distinction between the different types of Knightly units, perhaps the odd new infantry unit or two, and of course some superb special characters."
The article also mentions that Anthony Reynolds will be writing the army book (and has "vowed to the Lady that it will be worthy of her Blessing") and that "we now have the opportunity to design some more Regiment sets of plastic miniatures" - they haven't decided which ones yet though, and only "hope" that Gary Morley will be working on this project.
All in all, it's encouraging - we've not been forgotten and it sounds like they're building on the WD rules from earlier rather than starting again from scratch. The situation with the models sounds a bit more dubious though, potentially we could end up with a finished AB being delayed because they want to release the regiments at the same time. Twelve months sounds like quite a short time to go from unsculpted to full-production.
Ich bin schon ziemlich gespannt auf die neuen Bretonen. :)) Das einzig traurige ist, dass man noch nichts über das Waldelfenarmeebuch hört.
Na ja, mit der Vorabarmeeliste bin ich ja nicht so schlecht dran...
