Knights of the Realm

Availability

• Part of Bretonnia’s Free-LC roster in Immortal Empires. Access through Warhammer III or a Lords of the End Times pack includes this unit; no paid Bretonnia unit pack is required.

Choose an approach and an exit

Deploy with room to move around the infantry. Let another unit hold the target, then charge from an exposed side where the knights can enter as a formation. Avoid feeding them piecemeal through a narrow gap.

Watch the engagement after impact. If the knights become pinned among several enemy regiments, use support to create an opening before withdrawing. Clear ground makes a fresh charge easier; repeated orders through a dense melee can leave riders stuck.

Recruitment and the commander’s vows

Knights of the Realm belong to Bretonnia’s knightly roster. Inspect the local cavalry recruitment options and the army commander’s vows before building around them. Vow progression affects the support of knightly troops and matters when transferring cavalry to a newly recruited lord.

Questing Knights and Grail Knights are separate units. Their names describe other knightly orders, not upgrades that an existing Knights of the Realm regiment automatically becomes through experience.

Build a formation around the charge

Peasant Bowmen can apply pressure while the knights move into position. A melee lord such as Louen or Alberic adds a mobile fighting character; the Fay Enchantress supplies Life magic instead. Damsels and Paladins offer further army support.

• Peasant Bowmen
• Louen Leoncoeur
• Alberic’s expedition
