Good points. The Engineer is redundant perhaps, especially since I've got no-magic ones to carry the Rocket. The Condenser is a sweet piece of equipment though...
I'm sketching a Bell list, too. 200 points is easy enough to find and the benefits are enormous. Risks are lower then ever thanks to D3+1 wounding cannons and combined profiles, so I can Skalm the Bell itself
I'm reading Churchill's "History of the English Speaking Peoples", and just could help to dig up my Brets
It seems that even after I've cannibalized them for the Empire I can still put together a 1400 point list:
Lord, Knightly Temper, Birth-sword of Carcassonne, Cuirass of Fortune, Potion of Foolhardiness, shield
Prophetess, mounted, Level 3 Heavens, Sceptre of Stability
BSB, Gromril Great Helm
7 KotR, command, Banner of Chalons
5 KotR, command
20 Bowmen, command
Trebuchet, Yeoman
5 Grail Knights, command, Banner of Defense
I'd love to squeeze the Mane of the Purebreed (+1S for charging horses once) or the Ruby Goblet (being wounded max on 3+ after you've suffered a casualty), but there were other priorities.
Unlikely to ever field this army on its own, but perhaps as a part of an alliance in one of the campaign's big battles? They have a crusader colour-scheme so joining them with Tomb Kings (or against them) could be a good idea. The TK would like some heavy cavalry for sure
