not to mention ranking up. . . dear god what a nightmare.
Also, what about those knights firghting with two swords? or a mace and sword? do we get special rules for them?
I made a knightly order up a few months ago called the Templar order of Knights Tueton.
Their stats were as follows:
M WS BS S T W I A LD
4 6 3 4 4 3 6 4 9 Grandmaster (As empire book)
4 5 3 4 3 1 5 1 8 Knight
4 5 3 4 3 1 5 2 8 Preceptor
4 5 3 4 3 1 5 2 8 Inner circle knight
4 5 3 4 3 1 5 3 8 Meister
Knights Tueton: 28pts each.
quipment: full plate, shield, lance, mace* and warhorse.
Their horse may have barding for +2pts a model.
Standard+16, musician+8, Preceptor+16
May upgrade knights to inner circle for +4 pts, knights gain +1A.
Standard+16, Musician+8, Meister+16.
If Inner circle, may take the Banner of the Crusades +50pts
Special rules:
Mace- The templars of the order of the Tueton fight from horseback using their lances with deadly efficiency, being able to break most foes on the charge. However, when their foes are more stubborn or stupid then this modified mace is used in combat.
The origins of the wicked black maces used by the Knights Tueton can be found in araby, during the crusades. The knights copied off of the brettonian morning star but turned it into something far more deadly.
The mace wielded by any Knight of Tueton is a hand weapon which confers armour piercing.
Banner of the Crusades- This standard was one of the original standards of the Tuetons when they went to war in araby.
It is almost one thousand years old and every victory ever won by the order is carefully embroidered on to the list. The legacy of The knights Tueton is woven onto this banner and as such it makes the knights immensly proud and courageous.
Any unit of inner knights with the Banner of the Crusades is stubborn.
Grandmaster- If the Grandmaster of Knights Tueton leads a unit of Knights Tueton they are immune to psychology.
If the Grandmaster is in a unit of Inner circle knights with the banner of the Crusades they are stubborn on the grandmaster's leadership and also Immune to psychology.
