Hi there,

With the new edition here I thought I would try to find a way to play with my Bretonnians again. There is always a way

I still need to buy magic items to the mages; but I have 107pts over for that.

I am not completely sure about my Lord, as with only four attacks he could run rather short for his money.

My plan is to run two characters per large knight unit, have the knights go in the middle together with the Men-at-Arms on their flanks; maybe change to have the [email protected] in the middle and knights on their flanks. Pegs will do what they do best. The archers and the trebuchets will focus their fire so that my unit will have an easier time bringing down enemy unit. The Errants are there to get enemies flanks and try to protect mine. Will play the [email protected] with 5*8 or 10*4 depending on what enemies I am facing. They will have pole-arms for max effect of attacks.

I am open to suggestions of changes and tactics which you think/know works.

My suggestion would actually be to have the knights on one flank, make sure they break that flank then come round to help the infantry who go into combat a turn later or something.

where are the grail knights of awesome killy killy dead dead would be nice to take a block against elite units

 

[Menathorn]

Sounds like a plan, depending on what I'll run into I will consider that. Need a knight there to keep the Ld up on my lowborn.

The GK are rather expensive pts wise, they kill lots but they need a large unit to be worth it. Maybe in really big games.

I actually just started working on building a Bretonnian army. For me, the Knights of the Realm just seem so much more useful than the Errant. I would trade the units of Errants for another 8 man unit of Realm Knights, but that is me.

 

[Menathorn]

They are a better frontline unit, I am currently thinking haveing the KE as flankers for my larger lances. Some are telling me that it would probably be less worth it than having another unit that could kill stuff, but I'm not so sure yet.

I might change them for another lance, or combine them into a large KE lance with Errantry banner.

It hasn't changed more than adding some Magic item's to the mages. I have 24pts over and I am wondering if I should let my Lord be more of a Challenger Lord again, a couple of extra points but able to kill a character or Champion when needed. Thoughts
