Greetings fellow gallants ! after watching kingdom of heaven, i have been inspired to do a crusading themed brettonian army ! most of what i have will sort of represent what was in the crusades and without further ado here is the list
Lords
Krystian the Hope Bringer – questing vow, virtue of the ideal, Tress of Isoulde, Armour of midsummer sun, great weapon = 249 pts
Heroes
(General) Vladimir, Prince of the North – Questing vow, shield, Birth sword of Carscone, Virtue of discipline = 170 pts
Fergus the mighty – questing vow, virtue of stoicism, valorous banner = 167 pts
Angelika the Scholar – 2x dispel scrolls, barded warhorse, level 2 upgrade = 169 pts
Core
8 Knights of the realm – Gallant, war banner, musician = 241 pts
32 Men At Arms - yeoman warden, musician, standard bearer = 187 pts
16 Scouts (Bowmen) - Villein, skirmish = 117 pts
6 Knights Errant - Cavalier, Musician, standard = 141
Special
9 Questing Knights – Paragon, Conquerors tapestry, Musician = 304 pts
3 Pegasus Knights – Gallant = 165 pts
Rare
Trebuchet – Yeoman craftsman = 100 pts
Total points : 2010pts
Some of the things such as the men at arms and trebuchet are there to show all those templars that were in the crusades......i love fluffed up armies! :lol:

I can understand this is a themed army, but I think you have too many Men-at-Arms. Remove half of them. They're not very useful. Your magical defense is average, so I hope you're not going to confront Dark Elves or Orcs & Goblins. However, your Questing Knights and the Trebuchet fit the army well, in addition to add quite a punch. An "army of the Quest" is a good idea. Too bad there isn't a special army list that would make the Questing Knights a core unit choice.
I have seen Kingdom of Heavens. Good movie. Too bad you can't do in Warhammer the cool trick with the siege towers...

I think the army is good for 2000pts, i wouldn't reduce the number of men at arms if it is a fluff army as crusade army's were mainly made up of men at arm's, then knights who also joined up adding the punch to the army. On another note i have a dog called fergus, so i would rename it as it is an irish name.Other than that the army is ok! :thumb:

I've edited the army a bit, i've made the men at arms one bigger regiment so that it will last in combat longer, i've added in 16 bowmen skirimishers, buffed down the pegasus because they seem tough enough and lastly i added some errant knights because i did seem to lack a bit of punch :D seem alright now ?
Snotlingz - na man fergus is one of my good friend's names and mind u thats the scottish spelling, the irish one is fearghes or something ;)
