Hmmm, Templar grandmaster on the field, may field a unit of dismounted imperial knights.
May be upgraded to inner circle. . . Sounds good.
And remember Greatswordsmen are NOT dismounted knights.
Just because they wear full plate does NOT make them a knight.
See greatsword fluff, empire rulebook.
"Some greatswords are even knighted, a high position indeed for someone who has risen through the ranks as a halberdier."
Greatswordsmen are just the best state troops we can field apparently. because ws4, ld8 and stubborn seem to make them the best.
I think they should have ws4 s4 i4 ld8 stubborn, full plate, greatsword that strikes on initiative value rather then last. . . that would be awesome and completely in line with historical warfare.
