Average Armoured Knights
Anyone tried them yet ? They seem very cheap at 16 pts each.

Re: Average Armoured Knights
Not sure if it will help, but I did a calc and found that Armoured Knights are pretty much equal to Cataphracts when going toe-to-toe, with the Cats probably having a slight advantage.Scrumpy wrote:Anyone tried them yet ? They seem very cheap at 16 pts each.
Since most Cats are going to be superior it would change things dramatically in favour of the Cats - but then you've got a lot of left over points.
I'd think that Average Armoured Knights would be of fairly good use in support operations, and if they can be screened would be generally as good at taking out enemy foot as Heavily Armoured Average knight.

absolutely. they're more over-priced than light chariots... simply not worth the spend.hammy wrote:I haven't tried them but my experience with superior armoured knights has not been a particularly good one. I think that in almost all situations I would prefer superior armoured cavalry to average armoured knights. That said I am not a huge fan of knights anyway.

Well it depends whether you are playing in an open event or a themed event.OldenTired wrote:absolutely. they're more over-priced than light chariots... simply not worth the spend.hammy wrote:I haven't tried them but my experience with superior armoured knights has not been a particularly good one.

Ah yes, I played an immoral LH wielding Kiwi at Britcon (20 BGs, 17 of which were skirmishers). The Merovingians managed to only pick 13 attrition points off of it. Prefer cavalry to do that job though - knights are too slow and clumsy.OldenTired wrote:in new zealand, so almost always open events.hazelbark wrote:

we discovered how freaking immoral LH armies were a long, long time ago.
