Not played with my Brets much at all is this an ok list?

prophetess and the foot paladin hang with the men at arms

Lord and the rest of the paladins character wall the knights of the realm, 4 small units of errant knights for chaff clearance/annoyance

I know Pegasus knights are good but my list is really Game of Thrones inspired so don't want winged hosses.

Looks good, a few things;

1) you sure you want sword of strife on the lord? The heartwood lance or ASF sword synergises better with the virtue of herosim to get those lucky sixes.

2) the icon and the mirror are both arcane items, so maybe give the mirror to the damsel instead of the scroll.

3) beasts is a good lore for a support mage, but you may want to consider life for the lifebloom attribute on your characters. Personal preference, really.

4) small detail, but if you give a paladin or lord a magic weapon and a lance, they will always use the lance when charging into combat and not their magic weapon ( unless it is a magic lance ). I don't think you intended for that since you have the sword of striking on the aigluf paladin as well as a lance, but just making sure.

Other than those things, looks good. I'm not a great fan of errant knights, but I can see the appeal if using a GoT list with none of the 'silly' stuff in it. Like the double treb as well.

If your army is converted a painted game o thrones style, I would really like to see some pics. Sounds awesome!

I always prefered Beasts for the Signiture Spell, it is pretty awesome (but I havent played since before end times or whatever)
Probably dont need braziers on all 3 bowmen, but its a cheap investment and when it is needed dayum are they worth their weight in gold.

Two trebs warms my blackend evil heart.

Personally I would give the BSB the flaming weapons banner for when flaming weapons are needed, but thats a preference.

Apart from that I agree with points 1 and 4, half agree with point 2, both of those are arcane items but I always liked the scroll, season to taste. And magic lore is preference really, Beasts and Life have amazing buffs and amazing attributes, I prefer the beasts signiture spell but you might want life for the attribute...allthough the beasts spell that gives like +3 str and attacks or something (been a while) is so fun to use.

I just thought more attacks = more chance of 6s. I can see how the rerolls from the heartwood lance could help but how can always strike first increase my chance of heroic killing blow? I've seen lots of people using that combo and never understood it.

Understood points 2 and 4 though cheers for that I missed that. OP ammended

As for beasts vs life i'm hoping for savage beasts so I can get the big version off to buff the hell out of the character wall!

Fixing those errors has left me with 29pts any ideas?

Yep free unit champs. Using them as annoying chaff, they're still pretty good but can get more of them, 6 is the same price as 5 kotr so for the role they're playing the way i'm running them it seemed to make sense to me.

Is your plan here simultaneous strike on front sides of units? If so this is a high risk/reward strategy.

: 1000+

1500+ (they didnt have one for Bretonnians)
Also + BFG Fleets
Oh and now

Plan his to hang back pummeling with trebs and heavens magic waiting for turn 3 charge.
the big unit with the character wall seeks out the biggest threats whilst the errants screen the flanks of the bigger unit, chaff clear and war machine hunt.

Didn't see anyone address this. ASF against a foe with lower init and no ASF=reroll failed rolls to hit. Check the ASF special rule.

Ok fair enough, adjusted the original post how does that look now?
