My first attemt to making a bretonnian army list. I'm only just juming into WHFB. So far I have played the introducton game at my local GW one time, and I really enjoy WHFB a lot more then 40K

So tell me what you think. I will be using most of the battleforce box with a paladin added, 2 pegasus knights and the Men at arms I recently bought. I still have to buy the battleforce.

Heroes:

Paladin 126 pts (Will join the knights of the realm.)
Shield
Barded Bret warhorse
Virtue of the joist
The lance of Artois

Core:
35 Men At Arms. 202 pts
Full command

16 Bowmen 116pts
Full command

8 knights of the realm 226 pts
Musician, Standard bearer, Gallant
Banner of Chalons

Special

3 pegasus knights. 165 pts
Galant.

Total of 835. Now what to do with the remainging 15 pts?

You need another character. Bret armies are REQUIRED to have a Battle Standard Bearer.

+1 above.

dump peasants and men at arms, in fact, dump pegasus knights.

You need...
2 PALADINS [148 PT MINIMUM]
You should have
2 knights of the realm [recommended, but not necessary]
and, at least one other unit before you do anything to the effect of peasants, let alone pegasus knights, which will fail you time and time again in combat - I assure you. don't use them until about 1000~1500 at the least.

Also, with those freed up points, invest in a trebuchet. useful. or maybe a damsel with lore of life. you'd not believe how powerful a damsel is [No, seriously. even though it's an 18+to cast, dwellers below can literally HALVE squads, and rib big units in a few fell swoops [good example: 60 point river trolls, six up loosing all but two. T4? nah.]]
