Some of 'em WILL be cavalry units.
Plague knight and cursed knight if to be clear.

I like the Blood Vanguard name.

So others will be:
Curse vanguard (cav unit)
Chill vanguard
Plague vanguard (cav unit)

Right?

Topic needs to change to something else since its not just gonna be one unit.
So this is like another faction for undead?
Phantoms
Cultist
Blood pack ( current one and name i made up )
Tomb servants

Yes, why not? (Mak)

Not yet for now.
I am thinking about other units for now, their abilities, stats.

Than they will learn a lesson.
Not all knight are mounted!!!

I think we agreed they will be Blood Vanguard, not Blood Knights.

That was only one vote — yours.

Maybe we should make this unit a vampire knight. Yes most knights aren't cavalry, but knights tend to be known to be cavalry being that they are mainly commanders. Who wait at bridges for unsuspecting peasants to drive so that they may take some of their stuff or fill anotheir group of knights come by and then they come out and have a dual.

Basically knights were medieval gangsters with few of them being actually honorable. In truth that is, they, like samurai's, had their own code of honour style, that didn't include peasants.

Back in topic, this guy sounds like a vampire knight which would be more interesting. We could add him to the new vampire pack along with the hive.

I heard about This! In Warhammer... They were vampire cav who were highly dangerous especially in prolonged combat.

They are lesser forms of vampires but yes.

Probably vampire knights should be a great topic to have, someone should make a post to that.

To settle things, the blood knight will be or not a mounted unit?

It was designed as infantry.
Also please don't set this one to vampires.

I want make "knights of the damned" mini guild where few more specific knights (both mounted and non) would be. All of them would be trainable in summoning circle.

Also updated stats, lowered them a bit, removed self strengthen.

-My impressions of this one weren't about an unit with vampiric traces, but as death knight soaked in blood and lusting for more... Like a evil black Stormsaint hero img with blood everywhere.

-Oh i see, like an evil knighthood guild? (Probably loyal guards of some evil tyrant that refused the death of his reign).

I just imagine them as expansion of death knight.
Like death knight was their leader in life and now they serve him in afterlife.

As for "guild" - there would be only 5 units as i see:
Death knight (cavalry)
Blood knight (infantry)
Plague knight (infantry)
Chill knight (cavalry)
Cursed knight (cavalry)

Maybe have each one serve a different purpose

Ex:
1 be Archer
1 be Swordsman
1 carry a bardiche

Another set of name suggestions Blackguard, Warrior of Chaos

In D&D they are the pinnicle black knights.
Synnonyms: Fallen Paladin, Anti paladin, Anti hero

Who said that they all will be melee?

I said:

These were examples.

Implement various roles for maximum effectiveness.

Infantry i meant that they will be on foot.
Not that they will be melee units.
I am planning one lancer, one pike/ranged (will be able to change), one knight and this as normal swordman.

Time to bring some life to this topic.

Death knight demands his former servants to raise again!
