Alright, fellow generals, buckle up and polish those swords because we’re diving into the realm of chivalry with the Grail Knights. These bad boys are the pinnacle of Bretonnian might, boasting stats that’ll make your foes quiver. With Weapon Skill 6, Initiative 5, and 2 Attacks, they’re not just knights; they’re a terror on the battlefield.
But let’s not stop at the stats – these knights are decked out with heavy armor, shields, and barded Bretonnian Warhorses, sporting a solid 3+ save. And when they charge, their lances bring the pain with +2 Strength and Armor Bane (1). That means they hit hard and crack through armor like a hot knife through butter.
Now, let’s talk about Universal Special Rules (USR). Think of them as the cool special moves in your favorite video game. Close Order, Counter Charge, Living Saints – these rules add layers to the Grail Knights’ toolkit. It’s like unlocking powerful combos that keep your opponent guessing.
And oh boy, Bretonnia’s got its own set of rules too. Blessings of the Lady, Counter Charge, Finest Warhorses – these are exclusive perks for Bretonnians. The Lady’s blessing gives you a Ward Save, Finest Warhorses lets you reroll 1s when charging, and Counter Charge lets you punk Monsters, Cavalry, and Chariots by responding to their charge. It’s tactical finesse mixed with raw power.
But hold your horses, there’s more. Living Saints let these knights issue Challenges, Swiftstride amps up their charging game, and the Grail Vow? Fear and Terror immunity, Magical Attacks, and a slick retreat when needed. These knights are the real deal.
And you know what makes them even cooler? Magic Items and Knightly Virtues. Load up your Grail Guardian with goodies like the Virtue of the Impetuous Knight for extended charge range or the Blazing Banner for some fiery flavor.
In the world of Warhammer: The Old World, it’s not just about the brawn; it’s about the finesse, strategy, and a dash of magic. So, get ready to lead your Grail Knights into battle and show the Old World what true chivalry looks like. Pre-order the rulebook, unlock your Questing Vow, and let the battles begin!
