The Iron Will of the Empire
Drawn from the wealthiest nobility, Empire Knights pledge themselves to various secular or religious orders. Each order boasts its own long history, distinctive colors, and sacred duties. On the battlefield, they act as the ultimate line-breakers. For hobbyists, this kit provides an expansive canvas to practice metallic layering, cloth shading on barding, and unique heraldic freehand work across the shields and banners.
Faction Integration
Serving within the Empire of Man grand army, Empire Knights fill a critical core or special role depending on your army composition. They act as a fast-moving threat that prevents the enemy from safely outflanking your slower, disciplined state infantry blocks.
Key Advantages
- Exceptional durability against small-arms fire and standard melee attacks thanks to heavy armor.
- Complete command options included to build a Preceptor, standard bearer, and musician.
- Interchangeable components provide great conversion potential for other human factions.
Battlefield Matchups
- Light Infantry and Archers: Absolute dominance; the knights will easily run over lightly protected skirmishers and ranged troops while shrugging off incoming arrows.
- Great Weapon Elites and Monsters: High strength counters can bypass the knights' armor; use flanking maneuvers or combined charges with infantry to avoid prolonged brawls.
- Combat Summary: Deliver them safely into combat where they can exploit their lance bonuses on the charge, and avoid getting bogged down in rough terrain.
