Questions
What are the best Imperial Knights units?
The reviewers' average is S for Cerastus Knight Lancer, Knight Destrier. Then A: Cerastus Knight Atrapos, Knight Castellan, Knight Crusader, Armiger Warglaive.
What do the letters mean?
Each letter is the average of the letters 7 reviewers gave that unit, S to D. A dashed letter means no reviewer has rated the unit yet, so it's our estimate from SWORD, SHIELD and roles, placed among the army's reviewed units.
What do SWORD and SHIELD mean?
How much a unit kills and how hard it is to remove, for its points. Each is 0 to 100: where it ranks among the game's units of its kind: 90 is the top 10%, 20 the bottom 20%, and 50 is typical.
Which Imperial Knights units do lists take most?
Of 62 public lists: Armiger Warglaive (40), Armiger Helverin (38), Knight Castellan (33).

Reviewers
The Imperial Knights sources we read, each counted once: tier lists, reviews of their own lists and written reviews. Their tiers are their own, put on our S to D scale by us (their top tier S, and so on down); we show how many gave each and their average.A reviewer who would rather not be counted: tell us and we take their letters out.
