Hi all. I mostly play 40k but I also have a fantasy army that I play with friends up at the local GW. It is the Knights of Bretonnia. I know they are not so widely used anymore but I am a sucker for the good ol' fashioned cavalry charge. Anyway heres my list. Comments and respectful critique are very much appreciated.

Oh and a couple of things to note.
-The General will be with one group of Realm Knights and the Battle Standard Paladin will be with the other group of realm knights(don't forget Bretonnians are required to take a Battle Standard).
-And the Damsel on horse will go with the larger unit of Knights Errant...oh one other note.
-There is some serious disagreement at my GW about wether or not the BSB can take any aditional equipment like replacing his sword with a magic sword or giving him a magical helmet and etc. since that blurb is not the most clearly lined out rule...so just to be safe I leave him as is. He still does pretty darn well for himself usually.

The BSB may take magical gear if he does not take a magical banner. However, as far as weapons/armor goes, it has to be replacing something he comes with rather than supplement it. So, no lances, no shields, but any heavy armor or 'hand' weapon is okay.

I don't see any real problems with your list. Many would argue you have too many knights, and therefore too few overall models, but I think that is up to the taste of the general myself.

I would drop 1 of the damsels if you play some1 without any magic you have wasted a lot of points on them, i usually find 2 dispel scrolls are enough as your in combat 2nd turn. I also normally put my general with knights errant so when they charge there immune to pychology. Drop the barding off the damsel as the +1 save isnt going to matter. With the spare points you can make your errant units 9 and 8 strong so with damsel in the last there in full lance formation, and should just be able to squeeze in a banner of errant or a war banner for one of them.

Thanks for the adviceguys. Benny I actually would toss a damsel buy I play a bunch of magic heavy people so... also the horse damsel does not have barding.

Yeah i got the same problem but sometimes they suprise me with a full khorne army with lots of knights and its kinda annoying to have 2 damsels with 4 scrolls wasted. What i would say was try to free up 10 points to give the damsel a horse so your knights at least benefit from the +1 mag res, its wasted if shes in the peasants.
