===Freeblade Lance===

Freeblades are naturally cool because you get to pick-and-choose special rules without being bound to either alliance. However, you lack any major sort of unifying factor. This grants you effectively a household's value while maintaining the uniqueness of being Freeblades.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Restrictions:''' Your army has to be entirely composed of {{W40kKeyword|Freeblades}} in order to gain the {{W40kKeyword|Freeblade Lance}} keyword. While each knight can determine their own traditions, none of them can be overlapping.
*'''Legendary Knight:''' A {{W40kKeyword|Freeblade Lance Character}} is free to take an Exalted Court upgrade despite being a bunch of Freeblades.
*'''Martial Tradition - Indomitable Heroes:''' A hybrid of both Mechanicum and Imperialis perks, your freeblades recover 1 wound each turn and ignore all modifiers to charge and advance rolls.
*'''Warlord Trait - Echoes from the Past:''' Your warlord gains either Glorified History (for Imperialis) or Fealty to the Cog (for Mechanicum) as an additional Tradition. This will only give you that house's tradition and nothing else though.
*'''Relic - Bringer of Justice:''' Replaces a Reaper Chainsword. Strikes become S+8 AP-4 D6, Sweeps triple your attacks with S+2 AP-3 D2, but both give you an additional attack as well.
*'''Stratagems:'''
**'''Brothers and Sisters in Burden (1 CP):''' Select your {{W40kKeyword|Freeblade Lance Character}} at the start of a turn where you are Dishonoured. For this turn, The Warlord still gains their Honoured ability if another knight is within 12" of them.
**'''Deeds of Legend (1 CP):''' Once per game, when your {{W40kKeyword|Freeblade Lance Character}} has slain an enemy {{W40kKeyword|Vehicle, Monster}}, or {{W40kKeyword|Character}} unit, that character gains a new Honoured ability that is always active. This means that something like Martial Legacy's buff only applies to this model.
**'''Favoured Knight (1 CP):''' One {{W40kKeyword|Freeblade Lance Character}} can select a second relic to own. Fortunately, you have a few relics available for such a purpose, and you also have your new relic to pick.
**'''Strength from Exile (1/2 CP):''' Select one {{W40kKeyword|Freeblade Lance}} unit during either the shooting or fight phase. For this phase, while the unit is over 12" away from any friendlies, it can re-roll 1s to hit or wound, which is pretty important since they lack any auras of re-rolls.
