  Bretonnian Tacticus
There are a couple of reasons that the Bretonnians allowed to spend 75% on characters, the first is their lack of war machines, the second is that "Bretonnians are just more heroic than everyone else," but the most obvious are the virtues.
The Bretonnian armies standard is also able to be equipped with the Banner of the Lady of the Lake that allows all knights, regardless of their location on the battlefield the opportunity to re-roll failed break tests.

L'Anguille: A Bretonnian city on the mouth of the River Sannez, in the north-west of the country.

It is shaped as an octagon, which tapers from 150 yards aross at the base to the highest platform 50 yards wide at the pinnacle.

The other Bretonnian ships include the Galleon Man O' War which is very close to the Empire Greatship in design, and the small and nimble Buccaneer.
The Galleon is the Bretonnian's Man O' War, and your fleet must have at least one for 150 points to serve as your flagship.
The Bretonnian Pegasus Rider isn't very powerful, and as it comes in a squadron of three for 75 points, you'll probably find yourself using all of them on the same target at a time.

 BRETONNIAN TEAMS - Blood Bowl Compendium article
Bretonnians have played Blood Bowl for a long time, though it is not as you would image – magnificent armor-clad Knights going head-to-head, with thousands of fans cheering on their heroes.
The mainstay of the team is made up of rustic peasants who are equipped with little or no armor and are expected to hold off the ravages of the opposing team long enough for the well-armored and flashy knights to score a touchdown.
The Bretonnians are an interesting team to play with: cheap linemen, average catchers and throwers and a limited number of high quality Blitzers, who have huge egos that need special and costly maintenance.

 An Introduction to Bretonnian
What are the strengths of Bretonnia?: The Bretonnian knights have few equals when charging thanks to their lance formation and powerful characters.

 Bretonnians - Page 4 - WarSeer Forums
Look at the things Bretonnians dont get, such as cannons, chariots, overwhelming magic, good basic infantry, etc. The knights are pretty much all we Brets have, so rules to make up for our other deficencies seem only fair.
Bretonnians are not the be all and end all of armies, and I actually think that if you were to collect them, you would maybe see that (its easy to see whats gonna beat your own units, tougher to see what could beat your opponents).
Bretonnian knights have to be better than normal, otherwise there'd be virtually no reason to play them over other armies that can be all cav(HE, empire, chaos).

Finally, if this is to be a "Bretonnians only" Hired Sword [and I can't think of what other group should be able to hire it] we might want to look more at a Dramatis Persona instead, akin to the DP for the Sisters in that sense.
Fluff-wise, having the Damoiselles and such in a Bretonnian WHFB army seems to imply to me that said army is fighting in Bretonnian territory, not in the midst of the Empire.
After all, the Bretonnians are the only army where their "magic" is tied to a specific "goddess" who lives in a concrete geographical area...

The land of Bretonnia is steeped in legend and myth – it hosts a culture founded on the most heroic of ideals.
Charging into battle in the name of the Lady of the Lake and their king, they are a fearsome force to behold.

Bret's are the human equivalents of Elves, and their fluff says they have to have all sorts of dashing heroes with bright colours, blonde hair, puffy cheeks and glitter on their lips.
bretonnians get an extra hero slot that MUST be the Battle Standard, but they do not charge the extra 25 points for the BSB upgrade!
I would also like to note that the founder of the D.W.A.R.F.S and his troops killed many more of their foes than the Knights of the Rubber Lance, whose leader will remain nameless because I don't want to admit I had Knights helping ME and still lost.

 "Analysis" #2: Bretonnians and Magic Items
First a look at uniquely Bretonnian magic items, then a glance at other items that are very appropriate and useful for them.
The Bretonnians are very much into the whole 'pursue and destroy fleeing enemy' thing.
With so much of the Bretonnian force geared to break rank n' file, it just seems really crappy that one item can wind up screwing your knights over like that.

Bretonnian armies commonly include regiments of Peasant Bowmen, among the least corrupted peasants of Bretonnia (though still a bit ragged and smelly) recruited by their feudal lords to defend their lands.
Unlike Men-at-Arms, Bowmen are not equipped from the armories of the castle and arrive to battle in all manner of garb.
Bretonnian bowmen often use trenches and stakes to defend themselves against attack, giving them great defense against charging enemies, or may fight in a looser skirmish formation.

The Bretonnians - Thankful to enjoy the full Blessings of the Lady, the armour of 35 Knights glinted brightly in the sun as the army came to life and moved as one in a sudden flash, catching some of the enemy by surprise.
On the Bretonnian far left, the unit of Knights of the Realm moved between the stand of trees and the edge of the table and finished their movement 6 inches away from and facing the right flank of the Hunter.
The Bretonnians - The Pegasus Knights charged into the rear of the Gorger and killed him, while the rest of the army had turned to watch what proved to be the final action of the Game.

 Malkorax - The Tower of Chaos - Tactica Chaotica
This formation is for a very strong Cavalry type force, and Bretonnians and High Elves could use it well against us, especially if we were lined up in an Envelopment formation.
Just think of the ugliness, 5 chaos knights in cc with 8-10 empire knights (or silver helms, Dragon princes, bretonnians, etc.) then our knights get hit in the flank with 20 spearmen, who in turn are flanked by 12 chaos warriors.
The strength of the wedge is in the speed and violence it is executed with, and in the secrutiy of the flanks (like an old Bretonnian Lance formation, you have very limited flanks.) If you play a wedge conservatively, it may fail you.
