Kings of War/Tactics/Basileans
Why Play Basileans
Basileans are an entire army of lawful good paladins, battle nuns, and angels. If that's your thing, these guys are for you. It also is the natural place for your unused Stormcast Eternals to find a home in Kings of War.
Army Special Rules
- Blessed Be The Pious: All units, except those noted, have Iron Resolve, meaning they heal a wound every time they pass a nerve test while steady.

Infantry
- Crossbowmen:
- Men-at-Arms: These come in two varieties; sword and shield or spear and shield. Their stat lines are the same, but the latter gains you Phalanx. Taking them with sword and shield is the cheapest unit in the army, although in a lot of ways they're not as good for their points as Sisterhood Infantry.
- Paladin Foot Guard: Your more elite infantry. They hit on a 3+ and have a defence of 5+, a point better each from Men-at-Arms. They can also switch out their shields for two-handed weapons to gain Crushing Strength (1) at a cost of 1 defence. They also have Headstrong, like much of the army, giving you a 50-50 chance of shaking off wavering results. Their price is a little high however, making other choices potentially more ideal in your infantry slots.
- Penitents Mob:
- Sisterhood Infantry: Crazy battle nuns. They come with Crushing Strength (1), Headstrong, and Vicious. Cheaper then your spear and shield Men-at-Arms with the same number of attacks, although slightly more squishy as well, their special rules make them good on offense and weak on defense.
