In Warhammer Fantasy

In the time before the Empire, there were few domesticated horses, and horsemen were exceedingly rare. In most tribes, a steed was a great symbol of wealth and status, so it was often that only a chieftain and his closest warriors would ride mounted into battle. When these knights died their horse were ritually killed and burried in the barrows alongside them, to carry them in the afterlife.

Many centuries later, foul Vampires summon forth the enchanted bones of these ancient knights in order to bolster the mass of lesser undead minions they control. Borne by their sorcerous steeds, the Black knights exist neither fully in the hereafter, nor wholly in the material world. They can pass through walls without hindrance, and gallop at full speed across fen and moor, crahing into the ranks of their living ennemies, spitting their foes on lances wreathed in cold flames or lashing out with swords older than the Empire.
