Good evening great generals,
before i begin i would like to introduce myself for i am new to this forum( im sure i should have done this part somewere else

), i am Captain Gerntass, former captain of the Hergig watch and now for the past 3 years captain of a mercenary company, now looking for new employ within the lands of stirland.
So basically i have used the DoW armylist for a while now whitch consisted of mainly pikes

but now with war rageing as never before within the lands of Karl Franze, and after reading an age of reckening book (can't remember the main title) i have decided to go back to my roots to the army i first started playing with 7 years ago, the Empire.
Now the actual new state troops that GW has used to replace the old ones aren't to my particular likeing, sure i could see them as swordsmen but they are not exactly what i think a poor down to earth army like stirland, or one of the other northern states would look like, now i have taken a closer look at other models for possible replacements.
Some of the ranges i have considered are as follows;
*Empire militia range
-the leather vest torso with the arms & spears, halberds from the state troops boxed set
*Bretonnian men at arms range
-with possible head swaps for some, or arm & weapon/shield swaps
Now the two mentioned ranges above would be used for the spearmen and halberdiers, so with out further adoo i would like to know what other people think, any tips/suggestions are always welcomed.
