Grail Knights vs Blood Knights?

Please, Bwian, don't let those bloodsuckers take away the wonderful shock value from the Grail Knights! Even though people say that BKs are better (yeah yeah, they might be better, but they got Frenzy, and are alot more expensive), don't let the GKs fall into the darkness! Alteast make them equally strong!

For those of you who don't know; the Blood Knights are a new unit for the newly updated Vampire Counts. They are stronger (almost

) than the Grail Knights, but since I'm a hardcore Bretonnia fan, I don't like them at all (yes, I'm a Warhammer-fanatic). It wouldn't really give Bretonnia the "Super-Shock Cavalry" title, but would rather turn it over to the VC. Even if it's just one unit, it might make a difference.

The AI has a tendency of overusing good units, so if the VK's get an awesome cavalry unit, expect to see a lot of them if controlled by the AI...

Well all cavalry is being seriously buffed up in this edition, so im sure Bretonnia will get quite a nice treatment in our next army book.
I think Grail Knights should be equally good, the best cavalry army in the game should have the best cavalry unit no?

i think not,we are ought to make the blood dragons the best unit in the game,and it will be the best!!!!!!muahahahahahhahahahahaahha

so i will say to you,to accept this fact that the blood dragons shall be the greatest(because i will remember you,that this thread is spam)you even could tell this on the brettonian or vampire counts......whatever,the blood dragons shall prevail,and they are not a new unit,the exist from the past,as the greatest knights,and now will even pass the chaos knghts.

Not when High Elf Silver Helms are Dragon Princes are superior to them no..

Agreed. It wouldn't make any sense at all. It's like giving Chaos a suoer-mega-crossbowman or something, that excels in ranged combat. Chaos has the best close-comabt infantry, Skaven got the numbers, Imperials are a good mix of everthing, and Bretonnia has the best Cavalry. He shouldn't change that (neither should Games Workshop

).

I don't know.... I haven't read their rules or something, but I believe that Grail Knights are the best shock cavalry in the game, especially when coupled with a Lord or Damsel.

grail knights are on paper the best SHOCK cavalry in the game, but not nessecerily the best heavy cavalry. they are better than dragon princes and normal chaos knights. but the lack of a 1+ save can be very annoying....particularly when i roll dice...
