u cant take two chanelling staffs

[Azshara]

-you can't take 2 channeling staff.
-why are you taking two bret lord? You need one for the ld9 but why two? It's 50pts more compared to a hero paladin for +1WS +1W +1I (and +1ld). You could have a lv 4 damsel with some realy good stuff and a better magic protection.
-the grail shield well.... do you never loose the lady's protection? Do you always against the charge of a dragon or chaos knigth? Men if you do you must be either a realy lucky guy or a true genius for tactics.
-I don't realy get why do you buy the grail vow for every single of your character. You do pray for the blessing at the start of the game don't you? You already have some magic attack? Is it for the immunity? Yeah great I'm immune to fear panic and terror great but I can't flee when I'm charge and anyway just to be sure Igot ld8 or 9 and the bsb to reroll my immune panic etc... test.
-alway get a sergent for your peasant you never know you could end up having to pass ld test on 5 (6 if you have the sergent)
-muscian on the pegasus why? If you choose to flee a charge you always rally and they are skirmisher.
-finaly I think you have too many point in hero you only need 3 hero a caster a general and a bsb maybe 4 with a back up caster.

:2253
I plan on taking my General and Damsel on horseback with my Questing Knights, the other lord with the BSB with the unit of 10 KotR and my damsel on foot with the Men@Arms.
@Azshara, Thanks for the tips, however as of yet I don't think I will be spending over 200pts on a lvl 4 Prophetess. I take the extra 14 or so points for Grail vow over Questing vow because apart from those 2 lords I do not have any other magical attacks in my army (bar the 2 damsels who I will be using primarily for augments). I don't just take the lords over paladins just for the extra stats, it also allows them to be equipped with more magic items and with the recent changes to the infantry/cavalry relationship I feel that it is optimal for me to use stronger characters.

Do you always against the charge of a dragon or chaos knigth? Men if you do you must be either a realy lucky guy or a true genius for tactics.

alway get a sergent for your peasant you never know you could end up having to pass ld test on 5 (6 if you have the sergent)

My damsel is in the unit with ld7 and I try to keep my bowmen within range of nearby knights.

I don´t like the unit of men-at-arms, it´s too small to be useful. When I use them, my number is 35 for minimum. The level 4 prophetess is too good not just for casting and taking some of the most powerful spells of the game, it´s a way to be safe against the magic of your enemy. And I agree with Azshara about the two Bretonnian Lords.
