2K, Brettonians, Friendly

[Novasry]

Heres what I am thinking for 2k, would like to fit in a killing blow Paladin (regularly play an ogres player), but I like what I have.

The Combat Pali and the Beasts Wizerd go in the War Banner Unit, the BSB in the Grails, the Level 4 with the Men at Arms (regrowth madness).

Prophetess of the Lady, Level 4, Silver Mirror, Life = 265
Prophetess of the Lady, Level 3, Dispel Scroll, Bretonnian Warhorse, Beasts = 230

Paladin w/ Rangers Standard, Grail Vow, Warhorse, Shield = 149
Paladin w/ Warhorse, Shield, Morning Star of Fracasse, Virtue of confidence = 126

Knights of the Realm x 8 w/ Full Command, Banner of Chalons = 226
Knights of the Realm x 8 w/ Full Command, War Banner = 241
Peasant Bowmen x 10 w/ Braizers = 65
Peasant Bowmen x 10 w/ Braizers = 65
Men-At-Arms x 35 w/ Standard Bearer = 185

Field Trebuchet = 90
Field Trebuchet = 90
Grail Knights x 5 w/ Piercing Banner, Musician = 265

Strong Magic and shooting, with a solid combat base in the centre, Grails with deploy on the outside, hoping to flank things that the Men at Arms take on.

You don't need that much Wizardy at this points level. I'd take a single Lv4 and call it at that. I know you like Life but I'm really not sold it's the way to go. No one in their right mind will let you get off the throne, at which point you have a lot of points just waiting to blow up. I'd make sure she's on a horse, in a big lance, with Heavens (most of the lore can be done on 2 dice = not much chance of miscast), or if you feel you need it life. The Beasts Wizard will only ever really cast wildform, so why does she need 2 more spells?

I'd use the points from her to get a Killying Blow Lord, put him in a unit with the +1Ld Banner (instead of one of the ones you have atm) and then you have a Ld10 Bubble. I've been having fun with HKB, Re-rolling Saves and a 2+ Flaming Ward, it does the job

I feel knights need to be bigger and 5 Errants will do just as good a job as 5 Grails, without having a big SHOOT ME FIRST PLEASE sign on them for a 5 man unit. 265 is a lot of points to something you'll lose to small arms fire a lot of the time.

Helpfuls?

I've had a couple of games at lower levels where I used two wizards (a level 2 and a level 3 in that config), I like having access to both dispel items, and I find Life and Beasts compliment each other really well. Life can make units hella durable (toughness 4 on the men at arms would be crazy) and I really like to play up my characters, just something I find fun. I especially like using the boosted version of Savage, from the lore of beasts. All characters within 12" gain +3 attacks, +3 strength, yes please

I'm not really a fan of heavens, since I prefer the buffing spells, rather then crazy direct damage and magic missile stuff.

5 Grails puts out more damage then 5 Errants, since they have 2 attacks each, Strength 4 basic, WS and I5.
