== Description ==
Chaos Knights are feared throughout the Old World and beyond as merciless butchers capable of turning the course of battle with a single charge. They are towering brutes atop immensely powerful Chaos Steeds, rider and mount clad in thickest plate, each section of armour crafted by a master Daemonsmith. Even their frightful reputation is a weapon in its own right, crippling those who would stand against them before a single blow is struck. Each is a paragon amongst his warrior brethren, for he has trod the path of damnation for many years and holds the favour of the Dark Gods.

== Strategy ==
This shock cavalry version of Chaos Knights trades melee defense for much higher charge bonus and some more base and AP damage. While regular Chaos Knights can brawl in melee due to their high melee defense, the lances version really needs to get good charges and cycle them. They tend to do better versus other cavalry due to securing an early advantage with their first charge.
