So the Organizer ruled that at 500pts Bretonians do not have to take a BSB. As I am rebuilding my army, I only have a Battalion to start with plus the Fine Cast Lord with Lance ( I havent receive the Fine Cast Model yet, but I hope it comes out alright.)

So here is my list.

499pts Bretonnians
Heroes
Paladin: Bretonnian Barded Warhorse, Virtue of Heroism: 114pts (23% Close one there)

Core:
20 Men at arms: Standard, and Musician: 115pts
14 Peasant Archers: Braziers: 89pts
8 Knights Errant: Full Command: 181pts

So what do you think?

You're missing your mandatory BSB.

There's only one way to run Brets at 500 points, and that's with a big unit of Men-At-Arms. This is because you have to take a VOE Lord (120 points) on foot, a mounted lord is too expensive (131 points). You have just enough points left in your Lord allotment to give him a shield. So he has to bunker down with infantry to keep LOS, and archer will be too far away from the action for the Lord to use his Ld where it is needed.

Then your required BSB takes more than half your Hero allotment, I recommend keeping him cheap because you're going to need points for troops. Bare minimum is 79 points, and you'll likely want to keep it that way.

The to said Brets dont have to take a bsb at this point value.

Ah. Well that changes things quite a bit.

Looks decent then.

You are required atleast 1 unit of knights of the realm to field a bret army.

FAQ changed that.

I'm sure this has been covered elsewhere but I do not belive that to be the case since the FAQ only removes part of the restriction; in the book there is a passage in the margin of the page as well as in the unit entry. In my gaming group and many other I believe as well as the community on Round Table (Bret Forum) still plays it that KoTR are a 1+ choice

Odd, my group plays that it isn't a requirement, that the 1+ was overlooked. Otherwise they wouldnt have removed the second paragraph.

Revised list

Paladin: Warhorse, Enchanted Shield, Lance: 88pts

Men at Arms: 20 M@A, Standard, and Musician: 115pts
Peasant Archers: 12 Archers, Brazier. 77pts
Knights of the Realm: 8 Knights, Full command: 216pts

I just did a tournament last weekend and it was required, not that it matters KotR are pretty decent, maybe not at 500 pts though. I'm pretty certain though with the new faq its still required.
