Where does the Knight Commander go? With the Sun Griffons? And the Marshal on horse goes into the Imperial Knights?

This is a potent CC list, reasonably fast and aggressive. It looks like a strong list if played to its strengths: keep it together, but leave some space for the cavalry to maneuver.

As a tournament list you probably aim it to be all-comers? In that case I would be a little bit worried about the lack of heavy artillery and shooting. There's some small-medium calibre shooting and the pyromantic wizard can generate some real havoc at great ranges. Maybe that's enough?

Also the total lack of supporting units and chaff might make it hard to compete with fast & killy forces. But the cavalry & Reiters surely help some way in this regard.

Would be nice to hear how the tournament went and what your thougts are of playing such a list.

Actually, it's interesting that the tournament doesn't run with the 2.0 beta rules. They've been out some time now.
