The Shrine to Lost Armies

[Lord-Marcus]

As someone who grew up in England where Knighthood was born, I'm totally tracking that it's correct. Someone could paint their army differently though and flout convention!

Interesting idea on the hordes of peasants. I guess we'll see what they do with TOW, eh?

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

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.

Sure, but all those models are "lost" and OOP since a long time, so i think it fits

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?

 

[Imrahil]

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)

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.
