Stupid question but if a mounted Lich Priest on a horse joins a unit of Light Horsemen, do the Horsemen remain Light Cavalry. Sorry if that is something from the rulebook.

They do infact retain fast cavalry, and yeah, it is in the rulebook. It makes the priests rather mobile

"Nice." If I am going to be playing Fantasy in the future I am going to need to pick it up. The Rulebook, that is.

Indeed. As a TK player I cannot reccomend light horsemen enough, both in units of 5 as throwaways and flankers, and in units of 7 with champion as bunkers or tar-pits (and flankers still of course). They also warmachne and mage hunt well in either unit size (24" charge in a single turn, in any direction will do that).

OK shooting, too. Arrows of the Asp.

I dont' think they are that great. Crap save, ws & t and they lose most of the advantages of fast cavalry because they can't march or flee.
