hey Guys, Relatively new to fantasy and chaos, been playing 40k for a while, just want to know how people on here run their cavalry? I've finally gotten around to buying some knights today and I'm torn between the Lances and Ensorcelled weapons. I know the EW's maintain they +1 strength for more than just the charge but are the Knights really going to be locked in combat for more than 1 round if used correctly? And does anyone use Marauder horsemen? They're cheap as chips and look like they could hit pretty hard with Flails. Thanks for any advice |

horsemen are for herassing the enemy flanks and warmachines , they die fast but they also move fast and if they do rzeach their target they're a pain in the ass. as for knights i prefer taking a unit of each. lances with MoN and rage banner. enscorceled for tzeentch with blasted. gives them a better chance to survive shooting. and if the nurgle ones hit home on a charge they inflict 16 str 6 attacks and 5 str 4 which certainly kill a whole lot of guys the tzeentch guys are more of an anvil and hunt ethereal things. |

I prefer ensorcelled weapons over lances for 3 reasons.... 1. 5 points cheaper 2. they provide you with magical attacks 3. I think having strength 5 every round is better than having strength 6 during the first round when you have charged (and being stuck at strength 4 at all other times) |

I never use lances. Also, I rarely break the enemy in 1 round. Steadfast is a bitch if your a knight. Maybe lances if you are monster hunting with them. |

Combine knights with banner of rage for much killiness. This way the horses gain additional attacks as well ;) And as has already been said ALWAYS enscrolled weapons! Strength 5 all the time and magic attacks is MUCH better than strength 6, followed by strength 4. |

Ahhhhhh lame! I already modeled them with lances haha, that's ok, I definitely want another box at some point. So they can be the ensorcelled. I have another question regarding these guys, I was going to run them with MoK, kind of want to theme my entire army around Khorne, but after reading this, MoN or MoT does seem to be a better option. Do the Khorne knights just die to easily or is there another reason to take the other marks over it? |

Having your unit holding lances isn't much of a problem as long as your opponent knows that your enscrolled weapons are in the form of lances and aren't actually being used as lances or at least I wouldn't have a problem with it even if they mention them being magical blades, cleavers and war-picks. |

use lances for monster killing by giving the unit lances + banner of ethereal flame. they can kill monsters very easily and are the most effective monster killers except bloodthirster and possibly the sphinxes. overal, give them ensorcelled weapons to make them all round in combat |

It's 8th edition, everything is likely to be in combat for more than one round. Using the Knights correctly has nothing to do with it; they just can't break steadfast that much. |
