The Shrine to Lost Armies

The modern convention of a knight, yes.

Knighthood as a concept in Europe traces back to the Roman Equestrian class.

 

Before that even - owning and riding a horse into battle was a mark of nobility in Celtic society, particularly in Gaul where they had access to bigger, stronger horses more easily able to carry a man for long distances. In Britain nobles more often rode chariots, but some still rode the smaller horses we had at that time as lighter cavalry.

Additionally the nobles were the only members of Celtic society who could afford chainmail, just like knights in the early Medieval era before plate armour was developed for their use.

 

That’s right signore!

 

You're not wrong!

 

Grrr, !mrahil

 

Glorious

 

I knew you would like this one

Grrr, !mrahil

 

That makes me jealous. At one point, I had all of that and more, but that was a long time ago. So sad.

 

Reviving the cult of Myrmidia, one barbecued evildoer at a time.

 

One of the reasons I sold off my Breton was the fact that I'd never have the time to get it to the standard I wanted it. It seems every time I should have been working on it I foundyself painting Dogs of War, Wood Elves or Empire.

 

Er, these aren't a 'lost army', Vampires still have a sizeable presence in Warhammer.

 

Might be considered lost if you take that warhammer community post into account... no vampire counts in the old world anymore!

 

What are they calling them now? Or did they squat them?

 

They will not be in the first wave of renewed rulesets for TOW, but they are playable in it (is what I make of it)

Grrr, !mrahil

 

Soulblight Gravelords have essentially become Vampire Counts 2.0, so they are still without a doubt around and haven't been squatted by any means.
