The Empire at War ... The Gamers Guild > Empire 8th Army Book

Do you think Empire should Have a Shock knight unit?

(1/8) > >>

kermitthefrog3:
I think empire should have the option of a shock knight unit. Theyre knights are supposed to be famed for thier charges but our knights seem pretty flimsy unless seriously decked out.

I was thinking:

0-1 Inner Circle Knights - 31pts per model - Special

WS BS S T I A W LD
 5    3  4 3 5 1 1  8

phillyt:
This does nearly nothing to improve the impact of the knight unit.  A bump to WS only increases the number of hits by 16%.  The only way to significantly increase the hitting power is adding attacks.

And no, the imperial knight does very well.  If you want a shocking cavalry unit, play brettonia.  We do get the 1+ AS, which is awesome!

Aye, the 1+ save is just fantastic. The number of times my friend who plays TK gets so irritated when his 2 units of Chariots just bound off my knights.... he crys alot.

MrDWhitey:
TK players have the right to be upset with their book. I admire long term TK players who kept at it (one at my club, he excels with them. Makes me go  :icon_eek: at all the posts saying they're underpowered. Intellectually I know they are but...damn).

I think 'nilla Knights are great as is, Inner Circle aren't so hot, might want +1 attack but that's not something I really want, as it's more a response to the silly amount of units with multiple attacks nowadays.

Elden:
If you want more attacks, just add a WP to your IC knight unit and there you go. more attacks!  :-D
