You forgot the battle standard bear for one, I have never been a fan of Bret bowman because by turn 2, they are just holding table corners. The Fay Enchantress is one I have brought several times but magic has never been strong with Brets. To quote a friend, your dispel dice are your 2 up armor and 5 or 6 up ward saves.
What I would be willing to do sometime is I will build a 2250 bret list, we decide on an army list to play against and run 2 battles where we play both bret lists against the same enemy list and compare to see how they do. I constantly try different things with my armies to get a better idea of what each unit can do. I use to bring seaguard with my High Elves until it sunk in that they are over priced compared to the spearmen as core. I was only getting 15 shots if I was lucky for that min of 80 points extra per unit. That represents 9 extra spearmen or 5 specials, (swordmaster, white lions, pheonix guard).

dude, this style of Bret army is well documented throughout the web. You'll end up dropping the Fey Enchantress for a sb and another cheap hero.

Then you will run your knights down the middle of the board and kill whatever you charge...unless you roll bad. It's pretty much a point and click army.

one question Why Peg Knights?

The reason for the Pegasus is so we can hit home from behind when the charge is going on. This is my GF's army not mine just so everyone knows that so there is another reason why I have the Fay and the pegasus, only really worried about her wanting to convert all the horses to look like unicorns.

Fair enough. Did your gf come up with this list or did you? I know when Phaedra (my wife) wanted to play Brets, we went over the army list a couple of times and she ran basically the same list you have here. She was bored with it in about three games.

Just something to be aware of. Brettonia is boring. jocolor

I like the pegi knights, they are skirmishers so they don't cancel ranks, but with a 20" flying move and a 360 charge, they can bust open combats when my knights get stalled and create a presence in the backfield fast. Great for taking down warmachines. I have played the Royal Airforce a few times with great success.

Yeah I was under the impression that most GT Bret lists included a healthy dose of Pegasus Knights

As long as I don't see the Royal bretonnian airforce you're fine. PS Drop the fey enchantress and take a lord and some pals also a couple of damsels will help. You can include 5 characters use them. I'd also drop some the grail knights and and add a war banner
