Best Cavalry Unit/Army?

[Ditto]

Hi guys, im wondering what the best cavalry unit/army is right now. I have been playing a few different armies; Orcs and their Boar Boys, High Elves and their Silver Helms, Empire and their Reiksguard or w/e they're called and Bretonia and their Knights of the Realm (I think thats their name =S ?). I really enjoy flanking with cavalry, running them in with a charge, getting them out of their and charging back in.

So far Bretonia has the 'nicest' charge with their formation ability. Enemies just seem to fly across the map when hit by a charge. I would assume Bretonia has the best cavalry since they are more or less a pure cavalry army in the table top. My main issue with them is their infantry units seem kinda meh and Sieges make Cavalry kinda crap.

Cheers, i'll prob give Empire a go so I can have fun with their artillery.

Bretonia all the way in my oppinion. awsome cav and shock cav.

Bretonnia has all cavalry roster as their infantry is basically crap. Though wait for Anniversary patch as that give Bretonnia RoR.

Take some Trebuchets to destroy walls to get your cav in with bretonnia.
You can ofc. also invest into Pegasus and Gryphon Knights.

RoR ? = Rice obtaining Rabits ?

Chaos Knights with lances are actually better than most people think, they even win 1vs1 against HE dragon princes.

Why is this surprising?

Blood Knights are hands down the best tabletop Cav, and they're pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ scary in this game too, definitely top 3. Just depends on what you're facing. Dragon Princes are up there too

Best overall cavalry is demigryphs with halberds, it's basically no contest(Fast, AP, Anti-Large, 125 armor, passable melee stats). Second place is fought over by a bunch of people and it really depends on what you expect your cavalry to do. Obviously, some are situationally better than demi-halberds.

Brettonia has the biggest cav variety, with skirmish cav, light cav, 3 types of shock cav, aerial cav, damaging melee cav and line holding melee cav.

That said, I would argue empire has the best cav overall, because much of it can double up as both a good shock cav and passable melee cav. And because their mounted skirmishers are much more powerful, I would say they're better for an all cav army than brettonia.

Well the Best Cav Units so far are:

Vampire Bloodknights
Highelf Dragonprinces
Bretonia Grail Knights
Warriors of Chaos - Chaos Knights
Woodelf Wild Riders (Total OP if you add one Sister of Thorns to them)
Empire Demigripon Riders (Well im not sure if they count because they are Monstrous Cav. In the Tabletop there is a difference between Normal Cav. and Monster Cav. Deathstrike work on one but not on the other)

I really should test who would win if they fight at each other.

Highelves, Bretonia, Empire and Woodelves can build very effective Cav. Only Armys.
Woodelves also can build an very Effective Airforce only Army.

Other Factions could build Pure Cav. Armies but they are not really effective.
