I don't think the Talisman of Protection is worth the points spend on it.

I'd rather drop it and find another 3 points to upgrade the War Banner to the Banner of Murder (getting the charge is essential for the Cold One Knights, especially since your Highborn is armed with only a lance)!

Otherwise the list looks good to me!

yes, get banner of murder for the COK
-Drop Talisman of protection and give crown of black iron to your highborn instead of your sorceress
-Don't put your sorceress in a regiment. This way she will end up in close combat and will be killed

The WarBanner gives me the same as one rank of troop & 14" verse 15-20" charge is not that much when troop flee when charged.

Crown of Black Iron stop High magick from limiting my sorceress

My Idear is to move her out when the enemy is close to stop target spell and HotchaLong rifles (play a lot of Empire).

Thanks for the comments, I hope you understand my replies

About Banner of Murder. With it you are able to charge other heavy cavalry while they can't charge you. Most enemy heavy cavalry also moves 7'' and so has a charge move of 14''. With banner of murder you have a charge move of at least 15'' with which you should always get the charge.

Looks good, although I would still give crown of black iron to the highborn. And try to get corsairs instead of spearmen if you've got the money

I like the list. I would agree that Banner of Murder is excellent for the COK.

I would find the points (maybe by dropping a bolt thrower) to give your Highborn the Gauntlet of Power.

He will be so viscious on the charge with this thing, and combined with the Banner of Murder, he most likely will get it.
