I'm still a bit miffed that only the Reiksguard got to be their own unit in the empire book. I understand that maybe they are the "best" and that the other knightly orders can be represented by the normal knights, but I still think that some of the better known knights can still hold their ground for being their own unit

Although for sake of simplicity (for now) I think they will all use the same stats as Reiksguard (M3 WS4 BS3 S4 T3 W1 I3 A1 LD8)

Knights of the White Wolf: 27pts each
Equipment: Hand Weapon, Great Weapon, Full Plate Armor, Barding
Special Rule: Cavalry Hammers

Cavalry Hammers: The training of the white wolves gives them unparalleled skill with their hammers in combat. On a turn this unit charges, they gain ASF

Knights of the Blazing Sun: 27pts each
Equipment: Hand Weapon, Lance, Full Plate Armor, Shield, Barding
Special Rule: Blazing Charge, Magical Attacks (but not their mounts)

Blazing Charge: The Blazing Sun order are protected and blessed by Myrmidia, their War Goddess. On a turn this unit charges, they gain a +6 ward save.

Knights of Morr: 27pts each

Equipment: Hand Weapon, Lance, Full Plate Armor, Shield, Barding
Special Rule: Fear (cant really think of anything else )
*may swap lance and shield for great weapons for free

Yeah, the Knights of the White Wolf are easily the best choice.

I'd nerf that down, though with what I'm not sure.

I don't think any of them should be Str4. That's reiksgard. They are the cream of the crop and they specifically mention that they are the most prestigious of all knightly orders and it's a tremendous honor even among competing elector counts to have their kids go there.

ASF would apply to a mount too, which doesn't make sense, as it would make their horses super duper fast for some reason.

Wolves are heavy armor (bare headed), GW and I think Fear is good. Because they would also be immune to it. But Str 3. Maybe make them 26 or 25 pts.

Blazing sun, eh, I don't know. At some point I think they are just looks. You can only cram so many variations into that few points. But ward on charge is pretty lousy. If they are charged instead, they're just sucky Reiksgards or Wolves.

Cavalry Hammers: on a turn they charge, they get +2 Str. On all other turns, they get +1 Str.

ASL? Otherwise they are just uber lances

Knights of The Blazing Sun - 27pts/model
For Myrmidia!: Knights of the Blazing Sun have the Devastating Charge special rule.
