Nope, it has a double rare and 5 characters so wouldn't get a +2 from me anyway.

it would get a + 1.5 from me,
5 characters, don't see whats wrong with it !!!! Its an army special thats like pinging stupid lizards for all your units being cold blooded, thus your never get +2 from me. Or undead for being undead

2 Rare, Meh sure they are just rock lobbers (granted more powerful, but easily taken down) its not like a 9 unit of grail in there.

i would ditch the insignia of the quest by the way.. seems worthless, you already have a ward

I don't think you'd get this into Fluffycon Simon.
Too many power dice
Triple special
Too many shooters
Double rare

Also remember BSB can't take a shield so GGH is 2+ with reroll AS.

I know, I said +1 to the armor save. not 1+ armor save.

People i think need to get out of this fixation with power dice etc. and double / triple rare.
Sure he has alot of power dice, but the amount of spells that are going to be useful, will be minimal. He can throw lots of dice at some spells, but thats what scrolls are for. + he has to get those spells!

Sure triple special, but come now, they are mounted yeoman, They are not exactly over powered now are they?
maybe 2 trebuchet is powerful but again, its a warmachine with little special rules for other armies its special. Also you have to remember that these things are not that cost effective, like a hydra for example, Looking at the rest of his army, first choice of shot will be vs those guys Smiley


Part of the problem with comp is that people generalise too much, As if each army is different each comp should be different. That's what Tiering tried to do (unsuccessfully imo)

It's cos Simon's a Gouda master like ye self aiint it Antony, not the army  Wink

But damn he's jammy and I think comp should take the jam outta any army. Esp if they are Brets disguised as Gobbo's  Shocked


@Simon

Take this army when you vs me and I is sure to give you a +2. Take you standard army and it gets a -2. What you'd rather get a -2... worth a try. hehe Tongue

 Lochy tried something like this after his Goblin horde, but that was a different version.
He said he couldn't get it to work

I'd have a few games with it first Simon ...  I can see it struggling in a big way against a number of lists.

Fear and Terror is likely to crucify you.  Actually more than likely.

Bret magic is somewhat less than effective currently IMO...

Certainly a soft list...  "how" soft will depend on criteria of the event.

I can see it working well against a few matchups - if played well.  Although I think you could get away with another unit of knights, drop the MaA down to 20's, drop the 3rd unit of archers down to 10.

A unit of peg knights would be invaluable in this list too methinks.  Boosting the Battle Pilgrim numbers by a couple more wouldn't be a bad idea either.

yes, i see them as having the same weakness as a goblin army. against vampire, daemon, tomb king... etc i'm pretty much dead.

yes, becuase NO body takes Prophetess of the Lady. it is a VERY big concession i made, in fact I never seen a bretonnia list with a Prophetess.. lol

yeah, perosnally, i really don't know if this list will work or not, I will probably give this list a try out after Guardcon.

Heh... I've considered taking the Prophetess, and I wouldn't say she's a concession. I think it's more

a) People like Ld 9
b) If you want to run solid magic, WHY PLAY BRETONNIANS!?!
