Pinnacle Knights - 22pts


The macabre knights of Nagashizzar are bound by the same fell sorceries that animate the Pinnacle Guard and are armed with the finest weapons crafted in the dire forges of the Great Necromancer's mighty fortress. Like an unholy tide they storm across the battlefield, a silent host of rotten cavalry, terrifying to behold. They fear neither death nor pain, seeking only to bring them to those who would oppose their lord. Few mortals can look upon the Pinnacle Knights without despairing, and fewer still can resist their ferocious assault.

Special Rules
Undead
Wight Blades

Deathly Skill
The Pinnacle Knights are the Deathly outriders of Nagash's host. Their steeds are little more than an extension of their will, and move with but a thought. This leaves the knights free to wield their weapons with both hands, swinging great flails or carving throught the enemy with wicked blades in each hand.
Pinnacle Knights may fight with an additional hand weapon as if they were on foot, this means they gain the +1A if an additional hand weapon is chosen.

Scythed Barding
Barding. When equipped with this Skeletal Steeds gain +1 strength on the charge as if they were armed with spears.

I think they look quite nice as they do already. Just to set it straight that there hasn't been anything overlooked, but they're not supposed to have the ethereal movement of Black Knights even though they too are mounted on Skeletal Steeds, right? If so, I think they're fine and dandy the way they are.

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

No, The Legion of Nagash steeds do not have ethereal movement. We could maybe do with calling them something else.

 

[Capt Rubber Ducky]

Yeah they look fine,

 

[Marcus Von Drac]

Yes there fine. And maybe just 'Undead steed'?

 

[TMS]

I wouldn't be opposed something like "Dead Horse" for the comedic bluntness. :lol:

 

[Capt Rubber Ducky]

I like MS's suggestion, GW did call a lizardmen special character Tic Tac Toe (Noughts and Crosses anyone?)

 

[Zaak the Uncanny]

Looks good to me, although Skeletal Steed does need clearing up. Don't know what to call them.

 

[Arion]

For the class "Equine Cadaver"

Essentially Horse Corpse.

 

[Bishop]

Looks good..

Despite the eloquence of Arion... I like the bluntness of "(un)Dead Horse"

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

Well as usual we had to go with the majority, so unless we have much more objections, the Legions skeletal steeds with be renamed as "Dead Horse"

 

[doombunny666]

Why the hell not if Lizards get Tic Tac To and Lord Kroak then we should get Dead Horse.

 

[Marcus Von Drac]

Roflmao. Oh well, I see now point on objecting so yeah, Dead horse for the win.

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

Ok, I will amend Dead Horse in..........
