Bretonnians, as said by Experiment 626 (*Hastily throws a human sized biscuit to the far side of the room to distract Stitch momentarily*) are an incredibly annoying army to start off with. They are (as God said) a one trick pony who is INSANELY POWERFUL. But it takes some getting used to. Don't underestimate an Enchantress lvl 2 with the Lore of Beasts with The Bears Anger spell (The bane of lightly armoured troops and can even take down an empire captain with some luck).

However, if this is your first time venturing into fantasy, then it might be worth going with a much easier army to play. The empire is FAR easier to learn and has access to great cavalry as well so you can get used to cavalrys annoying rules. But ultimately it is your choice.

Personally i would recommend Dwarves, but i am seriously biased having about 4000 points of dwarfs in two cases and several drawers. Either way make sure you are happy to paint the models and are dead set on the army before you start pouring money into it and then realising "You know, I like those guys instead!"

Good luck and Welcome to the world of Fantasy.
