Hilariously my hobgoblins were the best performing unit. I thank @Jasko for the advice with the bows. They destroyed a unit of bretonnian knights in two turns and didn’t even get charged by them. For 30 points that’s amazing. I think small units of 10 is best.
Unfortunately Pegasus knights and properly equipped lords still are basically invincible unless I can really catch them out somehow. My blunderbusses had some fun shooting things but nothing important unfortunately. We ended on round 5 but the death of my Lord on lammasu eeks out the win for him. (Though after 3 turns of us both missing all our attacks) if I had a bale Taurus I’d consider using that instead. But after the actual charge with lances his fancy weapon didn’t count for anything and the increased toughness stopped a lot of his subsequent attacks.
I’ll post the footnotes for the full battle as recorded by opponent below this, though be aware it’s clunky. Hope I’m not taking up too much space in one go with this post.
If you’re interested his bretonnians are based on the Baratheons from GOT.
