Ya fantasy!
Looks fairly solid. I believe you made one illegal choice with your list. I think Brets have to have a paladin with the battle standard, and if that's not true you should have one anyway. The reroll ld tests is really handy. You also spent too many pts on lords (HQ). You can only spend up to 25% of your pts on them. Instead of the Fey you could take just a normal L.4 or 2 L.2 damsels. And you should try to fit in a dispel scroll as it's good to have.
I'm not sure what your lord's items do, but you might want to consider the lance that gives HKB. That will let you take care of monsters fairly easily.
Can't go wrong with all the knights you have. Only thing I'd change is make the errants a slightly bigger unit and give them the banner that gives them +1S on the charge..not sure what it's called.
Men at arms are good as well. Deploy them deep and they can get rid of steadfast to help your knights break units. I might go with 1 unit of 50 or 60 though..but I think that's something you shoudl play around with.
Treb is pretty good, deffinetly a keeper.
The only weakness I see with your list is all of your units are great on the charge, but if they don't break enemy units in one round they are sitting ducks. One way to counter that is maybe take some questing knights instead of grail knights, as they have GWs so are effective in any round of combat. That gives you one unit that doesn't need the charge. If you time your charges right though, with 2 knight units hitting 1 unit at one time, you should be fine. Just be careful about getting bogged down and pinned.
So ar far as changes, dropping the Fey in favor of a L.4 or 2 L.2s should get you the pts you need to get the paladin bsb. I'd also give that paladin something killy so he can help knight units out. If you have extra pts I'd throw in 10 longbowmen.
If you want to try this list out, just give me a call. Always happy to play a game of fantasy! I have dwarfs, greenskins and beastmen so I have a variety of armies you could try your list against.

the lord has the still has heroic killing blow because its his virtue the sword lets him always wound on a three up the faq said you dont have to take a paladin with a standard the one reason i wanted the fey lady is that she gives my whole army 5+ ward saves and they dont have to pray for the first turn to gat the blessing of the lady hmm decisions now im trying to decide to spend my money on finishing my bretonnians or buying greeks hmmm

O well if his virtue gives him HKB I'd stick with that. Well that's nice the FAQ changed that. I know the fey is pretty good but she's quite pricy..I'd save her for 300pts games. As you only have 625pts to spend on lords at 2500 I doubt you'll be able to fit in but her and a lord.
Hard choice indeed.

Very cool Grady, nice solid list but also think that you need to make some room for the dispel scroll, it can make the difference on the game outcome if your opponent casts a big-kill-all-in-sight spell

I like the list. Big blocks of knights always look great on the table. Even if they FAQed it so you don't need a BSB I'd always take one. The value of that reroll is hard to measure!

Agree with Tim. Having a BSB is almost a necessity.

These days I never make a list without a bsb. The reroll goes a long way.
Also keep in mind you are over the 25% for lords choices. I like the Fey but she is pretty expensive..I may safe her for 3000pts games.

75 bucks for my entire pile of Brets! Trebuchet, knights, men at arms, bsb, lordy, damsels and a few other goodies. I remember I valued it out over 150 last I checked. But for $75 they are yours.
O, got the green guy too.
