2250pts of Brets... and a Green Knight

Post by Neferata »

So my tree-hugging knight army of doom is almost finnished. It's built around Green Knight and all the troops are half-elves living in Quenelles (close to Loren) that is why there are some bowmen and mounted yeomen in the list.

This is the latest version of the army list; feel free to criticise :P any response are welcomed.

Paladin BSB 122pts, Insignia of the Quest, Questing Vow, Virtue of Empathy

Core Units

8 Knight of the realm 216pts, full command

only 1 unit of bowmen can be skirmishers, the musician on the GK isn't that benefitial, a banner on the MAA is very helpful; i also would switch a KOTR to KE with errantry banner, everything else looks good!

Thanks Macknight! Ops forgot about the skirmisher thing... I'll change that, add a banner and change the KOTR to a EK. However I think I'll keep the musician in the GK (musicians always prove to be worth it when I play XD, sadly).

Damsel mount her on a horse and let her join the Grail knights or the 8 big KotR unit..
She is better protected and she will share her magic resistance with the unit.

The Men at arms unit should be a bit bigger, peasant need full rank bonus.
One wound with this setup and it's allready lost a rank..
The unit also needs a banner (if it break no free VP to the enemy anways so why not?)


Indeed only one skirmisher unit allowed, make one a big unit skirmsihsers and use the other as minimum sized static unit with stakes.

5 Pegasus knight that's quite a lot, I normally use only 3 and a maximum of 4 when facing a very shooty army..
A standard on PK unit can be risky..


Mounted Yeoman I usually give them shields..

Green knight well it's a special character, make sure you have a replacement.. Not every one likes to play against Special Characters..
We shall fight them on the beaches. We shall fight them on the landing grounds.
We shall fight them in the fields and in the streets.
We shall fight them in the hills. We shall accept their surrender, and use them as slaves!

Thought of that to, if I can find a nice model to use as a mounted damsel, I will.

Yes they need that, they are 20 as you get 20 in the box :P. But I'll change it in time.

Will do

Why not :D?

I have a replacement, though I doubt my friends will make any fuss, he's not that overpowered + (one of them use Archaon ;)....

Ok, so I edited it a bit... Sorry about that :P... I was just wondering what you think about this character set up. The BSB has got some more punch now with a lance and the virtue and the general is a little tougher and helps against my opponents gunlines. I've made some other changes in the list too (QK for example) but this is just because I think they've got cool models so I wanted to use them....

Definitely give the skirmishing bowmen a banner. They are the only unit you have that can flush stuff out of woods and with a banner are surprisingly good at it!

Other than that the list looks pretty decent, not much I'd change really. It'd be nice to have a small 5 strong unit of knights or 2, just to send up flanks and generally be annoying throwaway units that still pack quite a punch. Dunno what I'd lose though so meh. The QKs and questing paladin aren't great choices tactically but I think you've chosen them for other, more important reasons and they are by no means terrible units.

Good luck with it. Any games yet?

Thanks Ant,

No I haven't used the full list yet. I miss some units :p... But I've played some games with a part of it and it went all well. Won a game against an Empire gunline and so. Got a 100% win ratio at the moment XD.
