I haven’t read as much Warhammer Fantasy as I would like to. Although it may be Josh Reynol Original Post. And Knight of the Blazing Sun is no exception.

Although few in number, the Reiksguard Knights are the most important part of the Emperor's army, for they are a symbol of the Empire's nobility and martial might. They ride fine destriers to war and the suits of gleaming plate armour in which they are clad are emblazoned with symbols of allegiance to the Emperor. As befits their prestigious role and elite status, the Knights are equipped with the very finest weapons and suits of armour available.

As an Elector Count, the Emperor also has direct command of his own provincial army - which in the case of Karl Franz are the regiments of Altdorf and the Reikland - but it is the Knights of the Reiksguard that form the symbol of his military strength. The Reiksguard Knights are the personal army of the Emperor.
