Description:

"Each Grandmaster is a paragon of knightly virtue, and is not only one of the most fearsome warriors in the Old World, but also a legendary commander and leader of men. They are rare in number, for even amongst those dedicated individuals who have the skill and strength of mind to become a Knight of the Inner Circle, few have what it takes to reach the pinnacle of knighthood."

Inspired by SFO and the All Tabletop Lords mod of WH1, this mod adds a generic Grand Master Lord to all Empire factions.

FEATURES
  • New Generic Lord: Grand Master (foreground/front)
  • New Generic Hero: Preceptors (background/back); Recruitable from tier 3 stables, shares cap with captains
  • 7 (seven) Knightly Orders to choose from: Reiksguard, Knights of the Blazing Sun, Knights Panther, Knights of Morr, Knights of the White Wolf, Knights of the Everlasting Light, and Generic Knightly Orders
  • Each Knightly Order has unique buffs that affect all empire knight units
  • Unique skins, mounts and variants for each Knightly Order!
  • Some new skills and abilties to make each Grand Master more unique
  • Balanced for Vanilla

NOTES
  • This mod is based on the Warhammer Armies: The Empire (8th Edition) version of the Grand Master
  • Choosing a Knightly Order locks the other orders, and some mounts lock some orders
  • It was decided that it would be easier to try and add as much orders into one lord rather than creating separate lords for each knightly order
  • Will work for your knightly order mod so long as they have the “emp_knights” unit set attached, which they should have
  • HOWEVER, the rank 7 buffs WILL NOT WORK since they dont have the "emp_knights_rank7" unit set attached, but that is a very easy fix
  • This is mostly balanced for vanilla, although it can still be subject to change
