Best Cavalry in the Game?

I would go with the Knights of Dol Amroth and Easterling Kataphrakts.

Rly? Kataphracts IMO aren't even in the leauge of Mahud Raiders.

Well the best stats don´t always mean that you get the best amry, cause of the points cost...

Kataphracts are an interesting choice no doubt :rofl:

I like Easterlings

too, and I do find that these elite cavlarymen are worth their points although WargRiders and Morgul Knights have somewhat better (better meaning even cheaper) advantages... The Kataphracts are like a solid middle... :rofl:

same here, but i realy like the sound of having 30
or so warg riders in an army with sharku at the
lead, that would look so cool

i dont think so, the mumuk is a monsterous mount

a mounstres mount is a "mount" so for evil mumakil for good knights of isgiliath(or what ever there called

)

The Mumak is not even a monstrous mount so can't count.
Easterling Cataphracts are aweful as they are expensive with no real hitting power.
I rekon the best all rounder is the warg rider with its S4 and the possibility of the warg carrying on without its rider.

[quote="Blue Dragon"]Well it can't be Galadhrim knights... I read on TLA recently about a typo in the WD where their rules appear, and they have 1A and 0W, so they die immediately when the game starts. :-D

Really funny![/quote]

LAUGH OUT LOUD!

I don't think that the Mahud are all that great. Their courage is 2 or something. Break the force and camels will bug out.

#Well not actually a cavalry model, but i use Giant spiders for the job, cause they have 2 attacks which means that they fight like a regular cavalary whether they do get charged or not

However they don't knock down when charging.

I thought that the Warg left, just in the case with a horse.

But I second this, the Warg riders do have their advantages.
They are stronger then riders of rohan, and they have a wide array of equipment they can use.

No knock down I'm afraid (yes, its stupid but thats the way the rules are).
