Knights on the Path

So we’re expanding up from our 500 point list.

Mounted Noble Lord (Arms Master, Disorienting Strike)

Men-at-Arms (3)

Mercenary Crossbowmen (3)

Household Knights (3)

A good starting point, it’s pretty much what you have in the 2 player starter set and it gave us a good variety of units for such a small force.

The first thing I’m going to do to expand upon this, is move the Men-at-Arms out from under the Lord and into another detachment under the control of a Chapter Mage. I’ll boost them to a unit of 5 for some added survivability, actually, we’re going to go even further with that and take a Seasoned Veteran for 30 points.

Our Chapter will be taking Fire Dart and we’re also going to give her the Heirloom ‘Olefants Roar’ for the ‘Seize the Day’ draw event. That means when she activates, you can draw the next card in the activation deck and activate that unit before her. So if we put the Men-at-Arms after her, we could activate that unit, move into position, gain bastion and then fire off a Fire Dart, all in 1 go!

We still have a mainstay unit under Edward allowing him to keep the Household Knights… but I want more, which means we need another mainstay unit. I’ve decided on a regiment of Militia. They’re weak, but they’re cheap and they give a light unit which can get straight on the board and start moving my reinforcement line forward. In service of that goal, I’ve also given them a standard bearer and a servite.

These Militia have also given me access to the thing I really wanted… another regiment of Household Knights. This will bring me up to 7 Unique Heraldic designs! I’m excited to finish painting the last couple soon!

Our list ends now at exactly 1000 points. And here it is!
