Bretonnia

The Bretonnians are a powerful army formed around a core of brave knights supported by scores of lowborn peasants. They are a warlike and valiant people who willingly seek out battle as a way of securing personal honour and pride. Any who invade their domain face the fury of their powerful knights; and few foes can match them on open ground. The knights range from the youngest Knights Errant, eager to prove their worth, through to the Knights of the Realm, defenders of the land. Rarer still are the Questing Knights, wandering warriors engaged in the quest for the Grail, and the legendary Grail Knights themselves, who have succeeded in their quest and sipped from their goddess' Grail, becoming imbued with fey power and longevity. Some knights ride to battle borne upon the backs of noble pegasus, flying high above the army to descend on their foes. When the knights of Bretonnia march to war, their men-at-arms march beside them, as do a levy of peasant bowmen drafted into service. The aim of a Bretonnian army is to ride down the foe, using their knights to crush all who would dare stand before them. The peasants' role is to support the knights by peppering the foe with arrows and to crew the mighty trebuchets. Regiments of men-at-arms march into battle to protect the flanks of their knightly lords, and to lend their weight of numbers to the fight if the knights' charge does not rout the enemy. All the while, the Blessing of the Lady of the Lake protects the knights from harm, surrounding them with a protective, mystical shield that wards off blows and deflects arrows and cannon balls alike. A well-constructed and orchestrated Bretonnian offensive will often smash straight through the foe, allowing the knights to wheel back around for a second, devastating charge.

Cavalry

Split Profile Although a cavalry model has two sets of characteristics, one for the rider and one for the mount, it is treated in all respects as a single model – the rider cannot dismount. When moving, the cavalry model always uses the Movement characteristic of the mount, and never that of the rider. The rider and mount use their own Weapon Skill, Strength, Initiative and Attacks characteristics when they attack. Each can attack any opponent that the cavalry model is in base contact with. We assume the rider to be in complete control of their mount, so the mount's Leadership is never used, unless a spell or special rule states otherwise. If the rider has a missile weapon, they always use their own Ballistic Skill, rather than that of their mount. When attacking a Cavalry model, always use the highest Weapon Skill, Toughness and Wounds value from either the rider or the mount. If the rider and the mount both have armour saves or ward saves these may be combined as normal. Any equipment or magic items the model might otherwise have only apply to the rider, not the mount (unless specified). In some cases, you may find Cavalry models that do not have a split profile. In this case, treat the model as single entity that may make up to two supporting attacks. The model also counts as mounted for the purpose of using certain weapons, as described in the Weapons and Armour chapter, but counts as a model on foot for the purposes of using Parry. Ranks A unit of Cavalry is required to be five or more models wide in order to be able to gain rank bonus. Supporting Attacks A cavalry model can make one supporting attack from the rider, and one from the mount. Cavalry without a split profile can make up to two supporting attacks. Special Rules Cavalry are subject to the following special rules: Impact Hits (1), Swiftstride. Note that the Impact Hits are resolved at the Strength of the mount, not the rider. Any special rules listed for Cavalry units only apply to rider, unless they specifically mention the mount. There are, however, a few exceptions. If either the rider or the mount has one of the following special rules, then the whole model has it: Always Strikes Last Ambushers Berserk Rage (see Frenzy) Ethereal Fast Cavalry Fear Fly Immunity (*) Scouts Stubborn Stupidity Terror Vanguard  Terrain Cavalry have to take Dangerous Terrain tests if they move march, charge, flee or pursue over anything other than open ground or hills – Battlefield Terrain for more details.  Unit Strength Cavalry have a Unit Strength of 2. Line of Sight Cavalry have a Line of Sight value of 2. Base Size  Cavalry have an approved base size of 20x20mm, 25x25mm, 25x50mm, 40x40mm and 50x50mm.

Special

You can spend up to 50% of your points on Special units.  Special units are invariably elite troops, capable of anchoring a battleline of lesser warriors, or performing great deeds in their own right.
