Foot Knights of Delesmar.....................................................11 points each

The armies of Angroval follow the knight's code very closely and have an even greater disdain for missile weapons than other Bretonian armies. To encourage his vassal's martial training, each year he invites the most stout and pure-hearted of his men-at-arms in his castle, to be extensively trained in the use of weapons and the knight's code under the instructions of Lord Khastra. The finest of those are given the title of 'Foot Knight', which brings great honour in their family. Most foot knights come from the lower classes of nobility and take great pride in honouring their father's name by serving as Foot Knights

Weapons/Armour: Foot Knights wear heavy armour and are armed with: 'hand weapon and shield', or 'two-handed sword', or 'flail', or 'two-handed axe'(strikes last, two-handed, +1 S, -2 extra save mod). The unit does not have to be identically armed. In fact, it is common for foot knights to wield their ancestral weapons regardless of their companions' equipment.

Disdain of Archery
In an army fielding Foot Knights, the following restrictions apply: -No more archers can be fielded that non-archers men-at-arms -Archers cannot deploy in the arrowhead formation

Lord Khastra.....................................................100 points

A foot knight unit can be led by Lord Khastra. Lord Khastra is a rugged old knight with a great distrust for magic, sworn to protect Angroval. He lost his faithful mount to a skaven warlock's magic, and has since sworn never to ride another horse.

Weapons/Armour: Lord Khastra is equiped with Heavy armour and a two handed sword. He can take no magic items.

Hates Magic
Lord Khastra is affected by the rules for hatred when fighting any spell-casting enemy in h-t-h. He must be 12" apart from any friendly wizard, else he takes a -1 penalty to all Ld tests. He has a special 6+ save (not a dispel) against any spell (does not apply to his unit)

Love for Angroval
Lord Khastra has protected and trained Angroval since the Grand Lord was a boy, and sees him as his son. If Angroval dies, Lord Khastra (not his unit), becomes immune to all psychology and break tests, except for the following: he is affected by hatred and frenzy for the unit (including all characters) that killed Angroval.

Banner of Delesmar: 100 pts
The standard of an army led by Angroval can be the Banner of Delesmar. This magic banner automatically rallies any broken friendly unit within 24" and gives +1 to hit bonus to any Bretonnian fighting a challenge within 24".

IMPORTANT: I don't have the Bretonian Armies book and I haven't read it either, so my apologies in advance for any background conflicts with the 'real' Bretonnians, and most importantly the certainly inaccurate points costs...
