** Unlocked with: Livery, Black Rose Stables

** Unlocked with: Militia of Morr
== Description ==
The Order of the Black Rose was founded during the dark days of the Black Plague, its longstanding association with the Cult of Morr signified by the emblazonments across its Knights' armour and barding. Justly famed throughout the land, recruitment of their elite Knightly ranks is drawn from the best warriors of the nation, a great honour which sees them outstandingly equipped at Imperial expense. Their cuirasses are often stained black, as are the heavy weapons and shields they carry, yet it is the prominent imagery of death upon them that makes them a most intimidating adversary on the battlefield.

== Strategy ==
An unusual heavy cavalry unit, the Black Roses are not particularly speedy or impressive on the charge. What they are is extremely tanky in melee, able to hang in sustained combat much longer than most mounted troops. This in fact makes them better suited for the centre than the flank, holding the enemy infantry usually found here while, for instance, Nuln Ironsides continue to pour fire into them. They can be deployed behind your front line and then charged into the advancing enemy to excellent effect, so long as they avoid anti-large monsters and monstrous infantry while doing this. Not used for charging, mainly used for sustained melee combat, holding off the line against the enemies for your other units to do the job of effectively killing them off.
In campaign a two turn recruitment length hurts them a bit strategically, however both their landmark in Nuln and one of Elspeth's Gardens of Morr buildings cut this down to one.
