Check out the MP-only army in action.
Jonas Mäki Editor Sweden 21 April 2016

Some fans have been asking about the noble knights of Bretonnia as a playable faction in Total War: Warhammer, but now Sega has confirmed they will be in the game after all - but only in multiplayer. They can be played by either human players or AI, and they can also be used in one-off battles.

In the video below, Creative Assembly is playing Bretonnia against the Undead. Below the video is an excerpt from the press release describing the Bretonnians.

Characterised by a range of powerful armoured units, including the iconic barded warhorses and flying Pegasus Knights; Bretonnian battle tactics frequently revolve around shattering and unstoppable charges. Also of note is the devastating Trebuchet artillery, and the numerous massed ranks of archers, capable of filling the air with swarms of arrows. While Bretonnian armies might lack the huge monsters that other races can often employ, they can bring to bear powerful magic users in the guise of Enchantresses; capable not only of offensive spells but also powerful buffs to further enhance their knights to superhuman levels.
