Knights of Parravon:

In the ancient days of the Knights Templars Homeworld Eburo, there was a Knightly order known as the Knights of Parravon. These mythical figures rode on winged horses that were as white as marble and known as Pegasi. When the chapter was formed the tradition was adopted and the most accomplished fighters of the Knights Templar become the Knights of Parravon. Riding marble white bikes they strike where the fighting is the most desperate turning a struggle into a sure victory. Should this strike fail to bring down the enemy, they will quickly fall back and regroup before attacking again from another angle, striking the enemy time and time again until it is brought down

no replies? to bad I really would've liked some C&C

[Captain Pugno]

i really like the entry for the knights as well as the chaplain - very characterful but not overly powerful and fit with themes.

 

Something about the chapter champion is making me wary. He seems to have a lot of bonus effects on those around him... but at the same time are not too overpowering...am in two minds

 

 

I really like what you have come up with and hope that your opponants allow you to use these characters which are ....well characterful :P

[Commisar Octavius]

Hey thanks man but could you tell me what makes you wary abouit him?

Is he undercosted or is there something else?

 

cheers Commissar,
