500pts
Thoughts anyone? I'm expecting ther new army book to drop next month but the escalation league I'm entering starts before that. I'm allowed to switch armybooks when it arrives so thats why I'm keeping it as simple as possible... I can do this list with 18 generic looking knights which I can add to when the new book comes out. I figure things always change so if i go with all knights surely thats the core of a bret army and will always be needed!

I'd turn the knights into 2 units, 8 and 9 and have the paladin join the unit of 8 to make 2 lances of 9

I'm assuming the league gave you dispensation to NOT take the mandatory Bretonnian BSB?

Yes didn't mention that... it's just unrealistic at this points level isn't it.

It's awkward but it CAN be done. Which means you need explicit permission from the league NOT to do it or you're running an illegal list.
You need a VOE Lord on foot - he'll come in at 123 points with shield and nothing else (on a horse he'd be 131 and too expensive to fit your Lords allowance). Then the mandatory Paladin BSB in your hero allowance at a minimum of 74 point.
You'll want an infantry unit to bunker the Lord in. It's one of the few times to run a BIG unit of archers, if you don't want to use a big unit of Men-At-Arms.
And then it's hope the enemy doesn't kill the 25% of your points you've invested in one T4 4+ save model...
