About
Unit Description
The noble-born warriors of the Empire fight in Knightly Orders, heroic brotherhoods who ride into battle atop mighty barded warhorses.
Historical Description
The Knightly Orders of the Empire are organised along strict hierarchical lines, with every novice trained in martial values until ready to take up the mantle of a fully-fledged Knight. Of the many warrior orders stationed throughout the Empire, the Knights of Sigmar’s Blood, the Knights of the Broken Sword, the Knights Griffon and the Knights of the Blazing Sun are but few on a long list of the mighty and worthy.
Attributes
Hide (forest)
This unit can hide in forests until enemy units get too close.
Strengths & Weaknesses
Anti-Infantry
Anti-infantry units have an advantage against targets that are smaller than a horse. This advantage can be a 
damage bonus against small targets, superior weight used to smash through lighter enemies, or an explosive attack from range that affects a large area.
Armoured & Shielded
Armoured units can block damage from any source apart from 
Armour-Piercing damage. 
Shields have a chance of blocking arrows, bolts, rifle shots and similar small arms fire - but only in a forward facing arc.
