Last weekend I tried out a Bretonnia force using the draft II rules versus a Khornate Warriors of Chaos army.
My List:
402 - Bretonnian Skylord + Luckstone
233 - Paladin Avenger + BSB + throwing axes + Talisman of Preservation
385 - 14 Knights of the Realm + Full Command + Flame Banner
220 - 20 Crossbowmen + Braziers + Full Command
275 - 10 Knights of the Realm + Full Command
89 - 14 Bowmen + Braziers
395 - 5 Grail Knights + musician + standard bearer + Standard of Shielding
I won with the Bretonnians, but it was probably the best match up for a Bretonnian army because the Chaos player had no shooting nor magic.
The impact hits were nasty on the charge, the unit of 14 Knights of the Realm were deployed in two ranks of 7 and so delivered 7 impact hits on the charge!
The Skylord charged into a unit of 3 Khorne Skullcrushers, with a warrior BSB. The Skylord did two wounds, including one wound caused by his impact hit. The BSB and the Skylord remained locked in a challenge for most of the game. The Grail Knights eventually charged the flank of this combat causing the Warriors to lose the combat by combat results and fleeing (auto slaying the unit banner bearer and the BSB).
The Khorne Daemon Prince destroyed the unit of 10 Knights and my BSB, who charged in on the Daemon and was instantly mauled.
The 5 Grail Knights charged into unit of about 24 Chaos Warriors and broke them on the charge.
I enjoyed playing the game, though it was a bit one-sided (hence not too much to report). I think Bretts will do well against small elite armies but struggle with horde armies and/or lots of shootings.
