Knightly Teachings
Knightly Nobles are exalted paragons of honour who uphold the tenets of the Code Chivalric and the glorious histories of their household. Through stern teachings and heroic tales, and no less their own deeds, they exemplify the virtues which Bondsmen aspire to emulate. It is not only in courtly life, upon the practice fields and during thrilling hunts that a Nobles squires and retainers cleave to their duty, but also in the fiery heart of every battle. There such teachings are tested as never before, and also find their most lauded expressions.
Each time a model from your army uses its Bondsman ability, if no other model from your army has used that Bondsman ability that turn, you can select up to three friendly Armiger models (instead of one) within 12" of that model, or within 15" of that model while your army is Honoured (you still cannot select a model that is already being affected by a Bondsman ability). Until the start of your next Command phase, those models are affected by that Bondsman ability.
