Now, here's the Rider! He's a badass!!!
The Riders builds almost exlusively on captains and centurions, wich choose to be in the heavy cavalery, instead of leading columns.
That means they're kickass fighters!! All of them. And the empire has about 3000 of them.
It is said, among the rebels and the enemies of the empire, that if you see a rider: RUN! Run ore be runned down.
They're also called "The Deathbringers" ore "Immortal" by some.

I have som thoughts about the Riders that i will discuss with my friend Thokage. Until then, they're just HEAVY! In this part of the imperial army, every individual has they're one unique equipment, but the armour is a single model.
The most comon is, after all, the Long Lance, a sword and a secondary battle-axe.

The armour is a blend between plate and leather louver, chain mail, scale mail, brigandine and full plate. H.E.A.V.Y

Enjoy!
