    Default I want Bane Knight Heavy Cavalry

    Thats right. Give them the same rules as Bane Knights but with a skelletal Horse to carry them up the field faster. Maybe the cost 9 points for 3 multiwound models and 13 points for 5 multiwound models. The only thing I would restrict is BLT making more of them. Give them a Solo attachment that gives them something useful like magical weapons. The models would be awesome looking knowing how PP sculpts models and they would make Cryx even better. We could call them the Bane Bullet. How awesome would that be? Here is your opportunity to create the Bane Knight Cavalry. What would you give it? I suspect my idea might be OP, so how would you change it? Take away Vengeance maybe? What would you do to make these viable without them being OP?

    BLT can only make small base banes. So that problem's solved before it can start.
    The cycle we go through with every release:
    1st stage - reveal - Wow! Look at the new toys.
    2nd stage - spoilers - Booo! They're not as awesome as I imagined!
    3rd stage - actual play - Okay, this thing's (usually) not awful.

    Whilst Bane Cavalry would be cool, I think we're more likely to get medium based Banes next book, its been hinted at for two whole books (Forces: Cryx and Wrath).

    Bane Cav shouldn't just be Bane Knights on horses, that seems a bit uninspired, PP has a habit of doing something exceptional, perhaps some long forgotten Iron Kingdom cavalry weapon, or having them as a character unit kitted out in ancient relics.

    Well, I joined this faction for the banes. I love the thralls and knights. More Banes please?!

    You are in the wrong faction then. What else is Cryx going to do with all those fresh corpses besides make moar banes and undead?

    "Moar Banes for the buck!!"

    I say convert your own models and use the rules for steelhead cav with some steelhead halbadiers that are converted to be like pirates with halbards. They hit as hard as banes.

    The headless horseman would indeed make an awesome Bane dragoon. And I have nothing against Bane spam. Just like everything in these games, if you get predictable you get killed. And I love the ideaology behind them. Other than more Warwitch types, I think a few new bane units would be top of my wishlist. If only they werent so damn slow!

    Bane cav would be great. I love any thing that could make an all bane army more diverse. Like kreoss2 with exemplars

    Really? How? I know the community's been asking for more variation in Banes for a while, but I can't recall any mention in the fluff. (I may have just forgotten)

    I've recently been on the receiving end of Legion's Raptor Light Cavalry and...sheesh! A tad different from our light cavalry.

    Well I certainly don't want bane ranged as I can only imagine how terrible they'd make the rat and options on that. Assuming that we have two options, bane ranged or bane melee, what are we most likely to get, AND if it is bane melee what could we get that bane's don't already have melee wise? Chain weapons? I just don't want another option for something we can already do pretty well, I'd like to get something that is a bit new and a bane heavy cav unit would be something different for cryx.

    I think bane cavalry would be to powerful with tarter sauce curse and the many other disgusting combos, but we probably will get some new bane unit/ bane solo.

    In the Cryx book, Venethrax looks at some ancient Ogrun skeletons and thinks they have potential, but he was going to leave that for Goreshade as he is the most experienced Cryxian at performing the desecrations needed. In Wrath, Scaverous has a pile of the same Ogrun that show potential to become a new type of Thrall. So most likely Banes. To be honest, i'd prefer a combat orientated Warwitch unit or some different Satyxis.
