If you also do a search on kickstarter by cities you can see where the specific project is located, and while most are American not all of them are. You don't have to be an American company to be on kickstarter :

There is also this mod coming out for Mount and Blade Warband. Mount and Blade Warband is only about £13 on steam and the mod is going to be free.It would be considerably cheeper then buying aload of new miniatures.
 
There is a beta for the end of summer and depending on how good your PC is you could have battles between 75 + . The game as standard allows people to have battles which have 150 people in it and there being more reinforcements , after so many die. There is a mod which allows you to increase the size of the battle to the amount your computer can manage though so you could have 250 on each side, or more.

 Check the link below so see some of the kick ass armours it has. The mod will allow you to execute other lords, so can kill Roose, the Walders etc . You can also issue battle orders, and raise troops if your a lord, and marry various people.

Dawnstone is a great item for mounted characters as it lets you re-roll armour saves. Having 2+ re-rollable is a great thing.

Dwarves are soon apparently, with FW stuff as well.

If you think swordsmen are overcosted then you should use the version from Tamurkhan, because ,erm, well erm,yeah they are overcosted as well.

Is anyone else a bit freaked out by the "In Progress" signs.

1. What Lores do you run you Lvl. 4 with?
Shadow, or life.

2. How do you equip your Lvl. 4?
mainly with a dispel scroll, with 4++

3. What unit do you place your Wizard Lord and why?
Mainly a unit of archers. I like a unit that is manouverable, By also keeping it on foot I can switch-a-roo with a model on foot.

4. Greatest Lore you have had success with?
Shadow. It is so versatile, and even if I don't get pit of shades, I'll probably get Mindrazor. It is rare that you wont get either. I also like withering for killing ogres, or enfeebling foe to neuter a foe. Most of the spells are useful in some way. Smoke and mirrors is also a fun lore attribute, as if you are playing blood and glory you can save a bsb or your general.

Storm of magic isn't bad, just the way GW handled it.

To be fair Tamurkhan is all about attacking Wissenland. I was surprised that the elector for Wissenland wasn't in the Empire book, as it wasn't in Tamurkhan, and she was a main character in it.

Maybe they are trying to add more fluff to Wissenland, or maybe it's a coincidence.

Mace of Helstrum could work, as he only has one attack anyway. 

Put some +1 to hit chariots near him, take a lv 4 and a lv 2 with light to make sure you get the spell you need, and cast "The Speed of Light," on him to make him deadly.

Or put him in a unit with a warrior priest for the hatred, place some +1 to hit chariots nearby, and he's good to go.

I never pre-order as I can get stuff at me FLGS for 10 % off. However, for some reason I got 20% with all the new Empire.

I use the questing knights for brets, with various other models thrown in to bulk out the unit.
