Paladin Knights are the warrior elite of their society.

About

Knight Paladins fight on fiery barded warhorses and are amongst the most feared cavalry units.

Armoured in heavy, ornate plate armour, the Paladins exult in combat, nothing is more sacred to them than the blood of Basilea’s enemies in the dust.

1st Edition

Armoured in heavy, ornate plate armour, the Paladins are also shielded by their faith. They exult in combat, nothing is more sacred to them than the blood of Basilea’s enemies in the dust. They fight either on foot in the Paladin Guard or as Knight Paladins mounted on fiery barded warhorses. The Basilean Guard is the foremost elite infantry of the Basilean legions and the dismounted paladins use hefty two-handed swords to terrifying effect. But it is when mounted and using their famous long lances that the Paladins achieve their truly awesome battlefield potential – the Knight Paladins are amongst the most feared cavalry units in all of Mantica.

The Paladins provide a useful check to the power of the Hegemon himself. Should their wars be unrighteous, the power of the Shining Ones deserts them: making it difficult for the bloodthirsty or unstable to dominate the empire for long. Should the priesthood attempt to exert their control over the Paladins, they can expect little success, as the Paladins are literally the favoured of the gods. Naturally, this has as often proved a stabilising influence on the politics of the Hegemony.

2nd Edition

The mounted arm of the Basilean legions, Knight-Paladins thunder across battlefields astride huge, barded warhorses. There are few foes who can withstand their crushing charge, and any that do will have little time to regroup before they are set upon by the most well trained swordsmen in western Mantica.
