The Knightly orders, we all love them. Especially Empire lovers. Now there are only two of those the exist in the game, Knights of the Blazing Sun and Reiksguard Knights. But what if you got the chance to have another of those that work differently from the others?
I present to you, Knights of Sigmar’s Blood!
My goal here is to make a viable unit for vanilla Warhammer as best as I can. I wanted this unit to be quite accurate to what you would see on an image for Knights of Sigmar’s blood. Also to make this unit have more of a feel as a Knightly order unit, I made a new building called "Heldenhame Keep". I read the lore of this unit and thats the keep they have in Talabheim. Originating from Averland my inital idea was to make them be recruited from there but a little more digging I came by the knowledge that they built a Keep in talabecland. So I went by that idea instead. I’ve playested this unit and it can barely 1 on 1 Blazing sun but they’re not heavy duelers. Lets look at the pro’s and con’s and I’ll show you 😉
[EDIT 01-29-2017]: Alright, it’s been a long month (almost 2 months to be exact) and I didn’t think I would ever fix my units for pack 2 anytime soon. I just can’t accept the xml.material problem that is going on right now since Wood Elves release. It made me realise that this crap could happen again and I was not in the mood to mod again. But alas, I returned and I aim to fix a lot of issues. I have made some changes to the unit and this unit should be more balanced than before 🙂

Pro’s and Con’s:
Pros
+ Knighly Order with Unique new building, Heldenhame Keep!
+ Custom ability, Exemplar of Sigmar! (complex)
+ More leadership and Melee defence than Blazing sun!
+ Great looking textures! Shiny armor to inspire the troops!
Cons
– lacks Attack and Weapon damage compared to Blazing sun.
– less Charge bonus and Speed than Blazing sun.
– the unique building makes up for more of a choice. Either you build Blazing sun chapter or Heldenhame keep. The choice is yours, only 1 of the buildings are worth it as they are pricey. But if you are ambitious, you can indeed host both buildings at the same time.
