RIDE TO VICTORY - USING EMPIRE CAVALRY title image.

Tactics by Adam Troke
I've been a Warhammer 40,000 player since I was 10 years old, but it wasn't until the release of 6th Edition that I got bitten by the Warhammer bug. Sure, I'd dabbled with Dwarves, and painted a few units that I really liked the look of, but all that changed with Games Day 2000. That was the fateful occasion when I saw the new plastic Empire Knights. From there, it was a short hop, skip, and jump into the heady heights of my all-Knight army that I've used ever since. Sure, Bretonnians have the finest Knights in the Old World; sure, the Empire is famed for its blocks of hardy Halberdiers, but every now and again, it's fun to show up for a game with nothing but Empire Knights (well, Knights and other assorted horsemen, anyway). With the new Empire Army book lurking about, the cavalry-intensive Empire army is still very much a force to be reckoned with. In fact, it is more balanced and varied than ever before. On the next few pages, I'll divulge my take on the various units available in an Empire cavalry force, and their best uses. Artwork of a charging Empire Knights.
