Tactical analysis

 * Children of St John: The Knight-Errant is the simplest fighter of the Crusaders, a young and enthusiastic templar knight eager to fight for their God. Their old but renovated single-shot rifle is still reliable for taking shots at those hostile to the Lord's (and the Orders) will.
 * Stunning Revelation: In addition to their rifle, the Knights-Errant use hand mortars that fire stun grenades capable of stunning groups of infantry.
 * Service is a lifetime deed: While their Talon Steel armor affords them protection and makes them immune to crushing, their relative inexperience in actual combat can prove fatal combined with the need to reload after each shot, and masses of enemies will spell trouble.
 * Flight from Sin: If a Knight-Errant proves himself worthy to become a Champion, he would be given thermobaric jets that can help them charge into the fray much faster, but as the jumps are short, they cannot be used to bypass terrain. Such a sight of a upcoming Champion inspires Order forces around them to fight harder.

History
"I am thankful to Sigmar for my mission!"

-...

Ever since the founding of the Templar Knights, the younger members have to spend years in training before they are ready for combat. The novices who have just been educated and have not yet experienced a fraction of the battles they will endure are called Knights-Errant. Named after the medieval knights of fairytales wandering the earth searching for battles to prove themselves, these young men and women will likewise have to prove themselves on the battlefield to call themselves true Templars. And just as the knights-errant of the stories fought for the woman, and man, of their dreams, these people fight for Sigmar in their hearts and souls, dedicating every victory to Him.

Entering combat with the 19th century rifle handed to them upon completing the trials endured in the training quarters on the ancient Templar stronghold of Aranian, the years of training remedies the Knights'-Errant lack of tests on the field itself, and they can tear holes in the most armoured enemies thanks to their skillful usage of the enhanced single-shot rifle, a weapon that, thanks to careful enhancements, is on par with modern day assault rifles in spite of its age. Even numerically superior foes can encounter difficulty thanks to the hand mortars these soldiers carry, still capable of lobbing their payloads of blinding stun grenades in spite of their age. Upon proving themselves skilful and experienced, not to mention having outlived their enemies, they will progress up the Templar and Talon ranks and take up other arms to serve their duty.
