But I would guess I'll be swapping them for more knights or bowmen in the future.

Maybe later, Trying a unit of men at arms this time since they're painted already. If I wasn't sick of painting brets, I'd probably do more of them. I use them in skirmish right now since I don't have to worry about formation lol. My plan for the new list I wrote is a pair of 15s for unit size. Nice, I'm hoping the lot I got comes with the command as I had to build my own this time, used a horn from a tomb king's skeleton regiment and trimmed it down to look not undead, and a skaven banner cleaned up to look unripped. Got three units this way, all with the old metal commands sold at the time. I think it looks better as for battle it counts as two ranks of eight missing one man. I use mine with the bows facing forward and arrange them in a staggered formation, 7 in the front rank, 8 in the second, with the front corners having braziers.

I use lots of those 5th archers, I like them for their simplicity, though I head swap and torso swap a portion for added variety.

I have some exceptions of later miniatures, I have one or two more 6th edition release Brets, including six Pegasus knights, the BSB, a single box worth of newer knights blended in and MOM Miniaturas Trebuchet. I love the old minis, I have nearly everything on the above list bar the special characters, of which I only have the 5th ed King and the 5th ed Fae Enchantress. This above page and following is the range of miniatures I use for my Brets. 5th had more openness in these regards, backed by crisp clean miniatures design. I am tempted to bolster peasants because I get to use one of my excellent and characterful 5th edition Bretonnian foot knight models which includes a very nice grail knight armed with a Hussite hammer and shield. You can make headway with a large infantry block relying on static combat resolution with reliquae and/or a foot paladin with virtue of empathy and the correct item loadout to keep them dug in like a tick. Indeed, but lets not be dogmatic about it. You are almost always better off spending points used to stiffen peasant units with more expendable peasant units.
