Grail Reliquae

I wasn't completely sold on the idea of a bunch of fanatical peasants collecting the relics from a former Grail Knight, and decided to go with something a little different.

So, rather than a band of fanatics carrying the corpse of a Grail Knight, I went with a unit of battle hardened men-ar-arms carrying into battle their either somewhat insane or impoverished lord. Leadership 8 would represent the lord's leadership, or their loyalty to the 'not-all-there' Knight. The fact that you can't strike the Reliquae would represent the Men-at-Arms protecting the lord, or even the lord's cowardice by avoiding combat until the bitter end.





The Reliquae itself had to have the Knight sitting atop (albeit uncomfortably) a palaquin carried by his personal retinue. So I decided that the Knight was either so poor, or just plain mental enough to bring everyone that served under him to battle. Hence the Reliquae having his Torturer/Executioner, a Jester, Priest, and Village Idiot (just a normal Reliquae model with a head swap) on the base.
