Dread Knights of Naggaroth


Well, since almost everyone else is getting fancy new monstrous cavalry, I thought it only fair to give some to the most ruthless butchers in all the world.

Comments and criticisms are welcome and requested.

Stagnation is perhaps the one thing the Druchii fear. Every day of their lives, they seek out new stimulus, extremes of pain, lust, and greed to reassert the physical and psychological dominance they were born into. This innate drive to stimulation and superiority has manifested on the battlefield in many ways, and equal to any such manifestations has been the creation of the Great Cold Ones.  Under the brutal and malicious gaze of the Beastmasters, Cold Ones have been forced to fight and breed so that only the most bloodthirsty monsters make it out of the pens alive. These enormous, ravenous, unhinged monsters are then handed over to the wealthiest, most tyrannical knights, who use the most ingenious tortures and methods to simultaneously cow and enrage the beasts.  The results of this deplorable process are the Dread Knights of Naggaroth, shock cavalry that are capable of panicking entire battle lines and reducing enemy elites to piles of gory scrap metal.
