Pegasi? Pegususes?

[Jack Shrapnel]

Yeah I'm pretty sure it's Pegasi....

Here's my bret list I plan on fielding.... now that I have the models to do so....

Total Roster Cost: 2400

Lords


Bret Lord, 141 pts + Grail Vow + Shield)
1 Royal Pegasus
1 Birth-Sword of Carcassonne (+1 S, enemies reroll armor saves)
1 Mantle of Damsel Elena (immune to killing blow and poison)
1 Virtue of Confidence (reroll hits and wounds in challenges)

Prophetess of the Lady (316 pts)
Warhorse + Barding + Level 4 Upgrade)
1 Dispel Scroll
1 Talisman of Preservation (ward save)

Heroes:

Paladin (1#, 117 pts)
(Battle Standard Bearer), + Grail Vow + Warhorse + Shield )
1 Virtue of Purity (always starts with blessing and it's always 5+)

Core:

Knights of the Realm (11#, 298 pts)
Full command
1 Banner of Eternal Flame, (extra flaming goodness)

Knights of the Realm (11#, 303 pts)
Full command
1 Banner of Swiftness, (extra movement goodness)

Special:

Pegasus Knights (5#, 305 pts)
Full command

Pegasus Knights (5#, 305 pts)
Full command

Pegasus Knights (5#, 305 pts)
Full command

Rare:

1 Field Trebuchet, (60" S5 stone thrower? yes please!)
1 Field Trebuchet (so good I want two!)

Plan is for the BSB in one lance, the prophetess in the other. Trebuchets stick in the back doing what they do best. Lord tries to get stuck in with someone he can challenge, or flies around looking for targets of opportunities.

Peg Knights hit your back line fast, and fifteen should hopefully do
the job... or at least look cool doing it...

As I've never played Brets even once, I'm sort of building this list based on what I think seems cool... I'm likely completely and utterly wrong, so feel free to steer me on the right course....

....unless you're going to say Pegasus Knights aren't awesome... because they are... they're knights on Pegasi... how could that not be the awesomest? (just as Ross how much they are to be feared!)

;D

i think it looks good, oh and im pretty sure it's pegasi also

[thesanityassassin]

Hmm....looks muchly like the old RAF list that was so brutal.

Not honestly sure how Steadfast will treat it, but with those Trebuchets and Lore of Life you should be able to wear down big blocks.

I still wonder at perhaps a few units of archers with braziers....they're just too awesome. Not sure where to find a spot for them though.

[Jack Shrapnel]

yeah, basically I wanted to field as many peg knights as possible... and trebuchet are really cool... and I have to field a lord, bsb and at least one unit of knights of the realm... so limits my choices with those criteria....

I'll likely get together a more peasant oriented list too... but wanted to start off with one that would be fun to paint

[Jack Shrapnel]

After getting some recommendations from Frank last night, I've modified the list somewhat....

Lord:

Bret Lord
Royal Pegasus
Grail vow, shield, sword of the lady's champion, virtue of audacity, gromril great helm

Prophetess of the lady
dispel scroll, opal amulet

Heroes:

Paladin BSB, dragonhelm (since can't take a shield cheating armybuilder!) luckstone, virtue of the impetuous

Core:

Knights of the Realm
Full command
1 Banner of Eternal Flame

Knights of the Realm
Full command

10 bowmen, braziers

10 bowmen, braziers

10 bowmen, braziers


Special:

6 Pegasus Knights
Full command

6 Pegasus Knights
Full command



Rare:

1 Field Trebuchet
1 Field Trebuchet

Since the prophetess already has a ward save and MR2, it might be better to take the silver mirror as the scroll (dispels and inflicts S6 hit on the caster!!). If she does get wounded, she has the lore of life and can recover easy enough.

For the BSB, I like to make mine as survivable as possible so maybe dawnstone, charmed shield and a cheap magic weapon. The one use only virtue generally isn't worth as much as keeping your BSB alive and/or inflicting some active wounds.

[Jack Shrapnel]

I thought I couldn't take a shield due to old BSB rules? (or did I misunderstand what you told me yesterday?)

Good point on the virtue... thought an early surprise charge (8+ 4D6 drop one low die) could slam a lance into somewhere nice and squishy (mage hiding unit perhaps?) on turn one perhaps... was really noticing last night that lances are certainly MUCH less effective if they do not get the charge!!!! (or turn 2+... wow human statlines suck!)

silver mirror sounds like a good change... I'll sub that insteadof the opal amulet/dispel scroll

thanks!

[LizardTau]

yeah, just like with my saurus cav if you dont get the charge they aren't as good. and yeah humans are so squishy lol

[stonecutter]

The BSB is not allowed to take a mundane shield but may take up to 50 points of magic items, of which a magic shield may be one. The virtue can definitely still be very effective but it only works on the first charge so unless you are perfectly positioned, it may end up getting wasted against a unit that is of low value. Maybe some goob might toss a unit of crab in front of your knights just to make them charge ;D
