Hmmm....At a glance, one thing I would recommend.


Ditch Fire as a lore, go with Metal. If you get the right Spells, you can cook those nicely armored bretts right out of their metal britches with nice Str 6 hits.

I agree.  Metal is the ultimate against knights.  And there is no need to get lucky on the spell roll.  Rule of burning iron is the default 1st spell.  It will do Str6 hits with no save against 2+sv knights.

Rule of Burning Iron is great for sniping out unit champions or shaving a few wound off a character. I would recommend a few changes. First, ditch two Dispel Scrolls and make one Wizard Level Two. Bretonnian magic is rarely threatening, so unless you're up against a Lv4 Wizard Lord you should be okay. My frequent Bretonnian opponent doesn't even use a Lv4 Wizard Lord in 3000pts. On the topic of Wizards, give the Lv1 Mage Rule of Burning Iron. He'll be lucky yo cast anything more than that.

You may want to ditch the smaller Orc unit and use the points for an extra magic level for the other Hero Level Wizard and a few more Big 'unz. Orcs of any description in such a small unit will crumble to a lance attack, so numbers are important.

As has been said, upgrade the 2 sorcerers to lvl 2 and use metal on both.

Your hobgoblin slave units are too big, drop them down to 15 and they'll be just as survivable that gives you a few extra points.

Drop the Death Rocket for 2 more bolt throwers.  You'll be suprised at how much they miss, and you'll need as many hits as you can get in turns 1 and 2.

I'm still a little confused at why your BC Hero has the enchanted shield with a Great weapon... Brets don't usually bring much shooting to the table.  I would find the points to upgrade him to a BC Lord and give him the Obsidian Blade, Enchanted shield, Heavy armor.  He's hitting any Bret on 3's and wounding them on 2's/3's with no armor save, not to mention he nerfs their armor & shield.  These guys also outcharge Brets, so he will be quite annoyed with them.
