Knights on the Path

Hello friends and strangers!

We’re going for another small growth, this time from 1250 up to 1500 but, given some of the games I’ve had, I realised I really needed some heavy hitting units and not to a small degree either.

So lets get in to it.

First off, I needed to scrape a few points back from the earlier lists so I dropped the 2 Tiers of the Combat Retinue from the Noble Lord on Foot. I kept the Tactical Retinue as I needed to keep hold of Regalia of the Empire.To keep the Noble Lord on the table a bit longer I’ve increased the regiment size of his Household Guard regiment to 5 stands and we’re taking a banner. Always take a banner, no-one likes failing their charge rolls.

Keeping the Fire Darting Mage and her Men-at-Arms, they’re still great at holding objectives, but I have to lose Olefant’s Roar as part of my points saving quest.

The Household Knights have been reduced to 1 regiment, however I’ve increased that regiment to 6 stands in order to give them a bit more survivability…

And I painted another 1. I didn’t need too but damn I love painting these.
This is Thomas, the bastard nephew of the current King. This is indicated on his shield by the blue line cutting through the heraldic emblem of Rhuzland while the Lion and chequered pattern are parts of his parents heraldry.

The Mounted Noble Lord is gone and so too are the militia. In their place is an Imperial Officer under whom is the Mercenary Crossbowmen and… the STEEL LEGION. I’d left these out before because of some bad experiences where they just kept dying without doing much. But I’ve learnt some tricks, one of which is giving the Imperial Officer ‘Armour of Dominion’ meaning bases in contact with him lose their cleave and smite rules, the main thing that was wiping my legion out. I’ve included 5 stands in the regiment again to form the nice big block and keep them on the table for longer.

Enjoying this list so far, but up next is my final 2000 point goal. Got some ideas but I’ll be playing a few more list ideas before I build and paint them all. That’s all for now, see you soon.
