Death Knights (40
points)
Death Knights are the noblest knights of the Empire and
Bretonnia, the only difference is that they are death. They ride
black horses with red eyes, these mysterious creatures are strong
and can keep on running without getting tired. This is why Death
Knights are extreme good scouts and stand alone units, they are
often used to single handed wipe out small armies

Equipment : Death Knights are mounted on black horses with
red eyes and are armed with anything you want from the equipment
list in the undead book, for no extra points. They always have a
normal sword or axe.
Best is: lance, heavy armour, shield, barding.
Note that they can have only one sort of weapon, so you can't
give them lances and double handed.
Save : Depends on the equipment you give the Death
Knights, but the best save they can get is 2+. Note that these
horses are stronger then normal horses, they don't get movement
penalties by barding and such.
