Are Grail Knights or Questing Knights better in your opinion?

Like Grail Knights, though expensive, immunity to psychology and having magical attacks makes them a very good hammer unit. I must admit I have not used Questing Knights, but now that they can use the full strength of their two handers in combat, they may have some use. Take my opinions for what they are, I have only recently come back to Fantasy, though I have played several games with the current edition with Bretonnians.

It's a close call.

Grail Knights are superior in number of attacks, defense, and psychology. Questing Knights are superior on cost and being able to ladle out the pain over multiple turns. Strikes last coupled with a 3+ armor save hurts them. But being nearly 25% cheaper than Grail Knights...

I think personal preference will be more important here than overall performance. Whether they work for you will depend on exactly how you intend to use them; even small variations can have significant impacts on their performance.

Go with the cheaper ones so that you can get more wounds.

My suggestion I dont play as brets I play against them but ya gw on horse back sorta meh if enough live through combat then those guys can deal some damage but again most things go befor you.

Both units can be a modellers dream but neither is very strong in game. Although, I find Grail Knights to be a bit better. The ASL combined with t3 and 3+ save is painful, although 25% more wounds is not a moot point.

Anywho, I would start with grails.

Me thinks Grail knights because you get +1 S, I & Aas well as a not Having to strike last. Then it also presents a smaller target against templates and the look on your opponents face as a small unit batters his pride and joy

How do the Grail Knight's get that?

Grail Knights are better, hands down.

The real question is, which one is more effective for the points. Once you figure in the 10-point difference between QK and GK, the QK start looking a lot better.

I find both useful, even though I rarely actually use both at the same time.
