I agree with Ducky - 22 points base is reasonable if you include full plate or barding into their base cost.
PS: Ducky, VC Black Knights are 28 points with barding, not 29.

I would say in that case we go with 22pts, with full plate, barding optional.
In regards to the special rule, I think we should stick with them being able to use an additional hand weapon if purchased, so we can have three possible weapon upgrades - GW, Flails, additional HW. The player can also have the option to take all of them if they want to blow a lot of points, turning them into swiss army knights.

22 points with full plate sounds good.
I still think having +2S for the great weapon would make the flail a bit pointless unless you made the flail cheaper then the great weapon.
Sorry can't count, to think i'm doing maths and further maths for A level

That's what I was agreeing to CRD, I think the special rule should just allow them to use additional HW whilst mounted. The Flails are used as normal whilst mounted anyway, and the GW at the reduced S as normal.
Making it 22 with Full plate = same thing as 18 points + 4 for Full plate.
So, you take 22, add 3 (barding) and 3 (Gw/Flail)... and you get a 2+ save, WS/S/T 4 knights with GW/Flail for 28 points. The same cost as a Black Knight... whcih I guess is the point right.
Basically "- ethereal" and "+1 WS"... then minor changes "special weapon rules" or whatever...
Yeah, I'd be okay with that I guess... (upon further reflection... and typing it out)

There is a diffrence as at 18 points basic (no full plate) they'd be really cheap for what they could do. But with it it means they can't be too cheap basic but don't get too expensive when upgraded to the region of heavy cavalry.
Look good, We need some fluff for scythed barding (My fluff writing skills are terrible).
Scythed Barding
Barding, When equiped with this Skeletal Steeds gain +1 strength on the charge as if they were armed with spears.
Just to make sure everybody understands it still confers the effects of normal barding, also the name of the special rule was diffrent to the upgrade.
