	*'''Order of Redemption:''' You haven't even seen my final form! Baddest dudes on the block on horseback, Regeneration(5) and Defense 5 make them a tough unit to drop. They ~~trade in~~ Valiant ~~for~~ Inspiring~~, great if you don't want to mess around with Villeins.~~ Being Irregular and fairly pricey hurts a bit though.		*'''Order of Redemption:''' You haven't even seen my final form! Baddest dudes on the block on horseback, Regeneration(5) and Defense 5 with 20 (!) 3+ attacks make them a tough unit to drop. They are Valiant AND Inspiring! Being Irregular and fairly pricey hurts a bit though. But they are some of the best cavalry in the game.

	*'''Villein Initiates:''' Knight trainees, these guys haven't yet earned their stripes but are a solid budget cavalry choice and if you can get a Valiant bubble around them then they have a solid Nerve for the points. Don't bother with characters to up their nerve since you may as well just buy their big brothers instead.		*'''Villein Initiates:''' Knight trainees, these guys haven't yet earned their stripes but are a solid budget cavalry choice and if you can get a Valiant bubble around them then they have a solid Nerve for the points.

	*'''Villein Reconnoiterer:''' Knight trainee washouts, these guys are quick and great ~~chaffe~~ for ~~the hitters coming in behind them or~~ camping objectives, although even ~~one or two~~ shots will do them in.		*'''Villein Reconnoiterer:''' Nimble lighter Cavalry Squires or Knight-trainee washouts, these guys are quick and great chaff for camping objectives, although even a few shots will do in a troop of them - as with most troops.

	~~A mix~~ of ~~shooting~~ and ~~flying cavalry~~ will ~~fuck shit up~~.		Lots of fast, hard-hitting cavalry with survivability and surprisingly decent infantry - bows included - will ruin someone's day. Devoted with Marty's Prayer will keep your army going when others are routing.

Slightly <s>better</s> worse damage output per point compared to the Ballista, but still better than any other War Engine with Indirect special rule.

	*'''Forsaken Beast:'''		*'''Forsaken Beast:''' Think of any abandoned animal - put it here - but bigger and badder and not happy about being "forsaken"! This is a great all-around, multi-role unit. They have the option to add Regeneration (5), Breath Attack (10), Ensnare, and Vicious (re-roll 1's on damage attempt). (This will make you think about being nice to animals and being responsible when you adopt at your local SPCA!:P)

	*'''Greater Water Elemental:''' Like the Water Elementals, but with more Crushing Strength and less attacks. Use in tandem with Water Elementals - Water Elementals charge into the front, Greater Water Elemental surge into the flank.		*'''Greater Water Elemental:''' Like the Water Elementals, but with more Crushing Strength and less attacks.

	You like Bretonnia, Azeroth, and water elementals. They can also be flavored as Catholic ~~militant orders~~, such as the Knights Templar and Knights Hospitaller. The army book, oddly enough, also pictures Mongolian units from Fireforge Games in this section.		You like Bretonnia, Azeroth, Arthurian legends, and water elementals. They can also be flavored as Catholic Militant Orders, such as the Knights Templar and Knights Hospitaller. The army book, oddly enough, also pictures Mongolian units from Fireforge Games in this section as Villein infantry. So, essentially, most human-types will work well for them.

	*'''Valiant:''' This is identical to the Rallying! (1) special rule, except only Villeins can benefit from it.
