So our gaming group is considering doing an escalation league going up 500 pts. every so often. So obviously we start at 500 and go from there. The only problem is that I play Bretonnia and have no idea how I would go about making a 500 pt. list for them XD. I have 20+ KotR, 15 Errant Knights, 9 Grail Knights, and 6 Questing Knight(needless to say im glad i converted these instead of buying the expensive models). I'm using this league as an excuse to get men at arms as I don't have any of thos and I need to get so Trebs, and Pegasus Knights look great. Any Suggestions? Should I go for as many Knights as possible with the obligatory Paladin with bsb? Should I have a damsel?

Legally you can't make a list at 500pts, Bretonnia needs to have a BSB and he can't be the general. If you ask nicely maybe the GM will allow you ignore that rule for the time being.

But at 500 points you're looking at a BSB, a group of knights, maybe a trebuchet and some bowmen to have some foot power.

This isn't quite true. TECHNICALLY. We can take a Bretonnian Lord with Virtue of Empathy, and HIS CHOICE of a shield or morning star to squeeze in at 123 points... He will accomplish exactly nothing...

I won't tell the Gm's if you don't.

Pretty much. You get a naked lord, which means you need some Men-at-arms to protect him... which really gimps the army at 500 points.
