I thought I'd contribute my 1.5 hour Bretonnian tactica video to this forum subsection. I think, after playing with them a lot, I've managed to make Brettonia pretty competitive- although it has taken me a while to get the lists and tactics right.
I think playing with devastating charge really is transformative. However, many of the dirtier tricks work almost as well without it!

I’m one step ahead of you and it’s already linked in the main army book tactica/guide 😉

Such a great video. I am curious though… what type of list do you typically run in game?

Such a great video. I am curious though… what type of list do you typically run in game? I can give you a rough idea as he is one of my regular opponents. Of course this will vary from game to game. He will always run 2 Trebuchets in a competitive list. There will normally be a selection of the following too: A unit of 6-9 Grail Knights A Unit of 9 Errant Knights A unit of 9 Knights of the Realm A smaller unit of 5-6 Knights (Errant or Knights of the Realm) 1 unit of 10 skirmishing peasant archers. He almost always puts the level 4 in this unit because he has had too many occasions where miscasts have wiped out a knight bus, due to the placement of the damsel in it. This is also down to the fact he much prefers the Lore of Heavens to Life. He will then intersperse his lists with some of the below, depending on the game: Mounted Yeomen Units of 10 archers (non skirmish - with Braziers) Peg Knights In terms of Characters he will normally take: Lvl 4 Prophetess on Heavens - she is on foot. Often with the Chalice of Malfleur to give additional dispel dice. BSB (of course as you have to take one). One of the Paladins inevitably has the virtue that adds an additional D6 to the charge. Additional Paladin (mounted on a Pegusus). The Green Knight (if a competitive list) He will then sometimes add in a level 1 or 2 mage but more often he'll add in other Paladins or a Melee lord. Normally with a 1+ save at the least. |

The video was fun to watch. Now I have the feeling my Brets do have a realistic chance to win the next battle!

Very well done. Does your group/tournaments not use the last faq? Lords and heros got raised to 50 percent.

Paladin (Army Battle Standard Bearer) [80pts]: Battle Standard Bearer, Knights Vow, Lance, Shield, Barded Bretonnian Warhorse Hey everyone, I have only just finished forging my patents of nobility and keen to get some glorious knights on the board. I am probably wrong, but I didn't think you could take a mundane shield on the BSB? |
