Love the skeletons.
I always liked that realistic undead imperial vibe.

From what I've seen it's even relatively easy to magnetize griffon's heads and armor emblems and make them swappable.

Sorry for a late comment.
Heh, that beast wizard was the best part of this game so far.
We may have lost 500 VP, but it was totally worth it.

Sounds fun.
But we're so going to blow up our unit.

« on: December 13, 2012, 09:21:23 PM »Casting Wildform on 4 dices was a huge mistake, just as predicted.
We lost our magic defense for a single mediocre spell.
Right, never cast a spell with 4+ dice for fear of miscasting, sage advice!
Not any spell.
I just think that Wildform wasn't worth it.
But what was done was done.
Time to move on.
What turn is this btw?

I would avoid that goblin bus.
Too bad we didn't manage to snipe down their BSB.

I have a saved step-by-step example of Ostermark empire scheme which was used in GW's tale of 4 gamers, if you're interested.

+1 to everything Joekle said.
I'd also get rid of flaggies and take more greatswords. (Unless you use them as flanking units.)
Greatswords pretty much fill the same as flagellants and aren't that squishy, especially against Dark elves and Skaven (because of the lower I).
Deploy at least 40 halberds in horde formation. They should be able to sustain at least some casualties before they start losing attacks.
Use handgunners as 10-man detachments.
Swordsmen also as detachments, a small unit of 20, or possibly a mage bunker.
I'd also consider kicking swordsmen out and getting a cannon or hellblaster. Probably a hellblaster if you intend to use Luminark as a cannon.
Kick out the non-BSB captain and kit out the other guys with magical items.
Consider upgrading your mage to lv2.
And about that warrior priest... Characters can't join flagellants iirc.

EDIT: Just noticed something...
A unit of handgunners and swordsmen are actually greatsword detachments?
If they are, they belong in the point price and category of their parent unit.
Therefore, they count as special choices.

My vote would look like this: Wood Elf Highborn with Great Weapon, Chaos Lord on Daemonic mount, Azhag the Slaughterer, Gorbad Ironclaw, Mangler Squigs.
Honorable mention: Be'lakor, Queek Head taker, The Green Knight and Slann Mage Priest.

The Count's Tavern / Re: My next Army . . .
« on: December 02, 2012, 01:37:09 AM »
I like the diversity of O&G army...
I have started a small band myself.
My second choice from your list would be Vampire counts.
If GW finally released a proper vampire like the one on the cover of 7th edition book, I would start an army.
I really dig that fallen-bad-ass Empire noble look.
And I would much rather go for Mantic zombies. They're so much cheaper and so much better.
I always liked the beastmen design and the general idea behind the army, but they seem awfully boring to play and paint.
