I think the PG could do with razor standard more than crown of command, very few units will have more ranks thank them, and they rarely lose combat. Also if you face death, bsb will have to go into the white lions as he has no true ward and the crown is wasted.

Whats your strategy with heavens?
death is lighter than a feather, duty heavier than a mountain

do an rpg personality test, im from Ireland and I get...

I use heavens for board control, it have anti chaff spells and I can force my opponent to the center with the comet, were I got my two killy blocks.

Thank you for your comment
What anti chaff spell? I can only see thunderbolt maybe being viable.

Why no musician on the combat units?

Is your tournament going to use draft 3? Or still using 2.5.1 because under 2.5.1 you can easily make a SD + Sh bus list.

Thunderbolt and chain lightining are the ones I use for anti chaff, what do you leave home with draft 2.5.1 with the sh bus???? Frosty and eagle claw bolters

The problem that I see, is that the bus eats all the 5 pool choices:

3 pool for the banner
1 pool for the three mounted characters
1 pool for the 50% in heros and commanders

So no frosty or eagle claw bolters

For the bus the pool choices are
Banner
3 or more mounted characters
RBT

Just you need to play around with character points. <1,200 is more than enough points.

I find it quite hard to fit the star dragon and archimage plus two nobles without passing the 1200 points, the bus losses hit power.
