The Stubborn Bulls - Empire Knights with Greatswords (Ostland)

            Stubborn Bulls (Empire Knights-Greatswords) are an Empire Elector Count State Troops cavalry unit from Ostland. Fortunately, Ostland's dank forest-clothed terrain produces elite warriors able to withstand the continual Ruinous incursions threatening the province.

The Ostland Black Guard are a very well-known regiment. They have campaigned for many different electors, and their reputation has spread beyond their native state.

As it is extremely difficult to use a greatsword properly, the Ostland Black Guard must spend many hours training. In fact, they train every day on which they are not on campaign, sparring to improve their skills.

In battle, the Black Guard stand somewhat farther away from each other than other units do. This is because of the fighting style associated with the greatsword. It is wielded in great arcing movements. Thus it is important that the members of the Ostland Black Guard do not get in the way of their comrades. It is said that this style of fighting harks back to warfare during the time of Sigmar, when more emphasis was put on individual heroics than unit fighting. In some cases, it can appear that, because of their formation, the Black Guard are a weaker spot in their army's lines. However, any enemy who attempts to attack them will be bloodily repulsed.

The Black Guard are also noted to be stubborn, grim, and devoted to Morr. In fact, before every battle, the unit is blessed by a priest of Morr.

The Ostland Black guard wield zweihander swords as tall as a man. They are decorated with the Bull's Head, the emblem of Ostland. They are also inscribed with holy texts meant to bolster a warrior's faith during battle.
