Imperial Guard Knights (Lance & Shield)

Updated for the Silence & the Fury 28/07/2021

Welcome everyone!
This is the mounted Version of my Imperial Guard unit. This mod adds the mounted "Imperial Guard Knights (Lance & Shield)" unit to the Empire faction. These heavily armoured knights have the ability to crush the empire's enemies in a devastating charge while inspiring and strengthening nearby allied troops.

The dismounted version can be found here: Imperial Guard
