Good stuff.

Speaking of the lancer, how does it compare to an Errant/Paladin?

Hey man! Glad you enjoyed it


I think the Lancer is considerably better than the Errant/ Paladin! It was just out manoeuvred and very unfortunate in this game.

Things that make it better are:
It's invulnerable is on 3 sides of armour at all times.
It has the ability to be faster should it choose not to shoot.
it's lance is concussive so if you hit what your assaulting chances are it'll be Initiative 1.
It has 5 Strength D attacks on the turn that it charges at initiative 5....


Knights are awesome because they have cheap access to D weapons, The Lancer does exactly this but more efficiently!
Also the model is sweet as a nut!
