Topic: 2,000 point Empire Army, Themed Reikland

[JimiJaymes]

Hello... I've been away from Fantasy for a while now, but the Empire has never left my heart.... I'm starting up an all calvery force and wanted to see if anybody had some constructive critism for my list... or you can tear it apart! It's a Themed Army of Reikland... Highly Mobile... Swift, that packs a punch. I love the Fast Cav models...and I'm  really looking forward to painting them. It's a first responder list, hence all the Fast Calvery. Here you go... javascript:void(0);

   2,000 points on the spot.... I know the list lacks one major thing and yes I need Great Cannons, but I prefer the look of the Pistoliers... In a 2,250pt game the Pistoliers come out and two great cannons go in along with?? I'm thinking more Magic defense...

The major issue I see is that you aren't really committing to any of the phases.   Given they are holding mages, the vannila knights cannot really commit to attacking all the time and your big unit of cavalry doesn't have command.  A standard that is the war banner is a 2 CR swing that is pretty significant.

You are totally right about the Large unit of knights... They do need command... what would you suggest I get ride of to fit one in there??? I can get ride of the Ring of Volans without affecting to much of my list organization and get the Standard Bearer for the large unit of knights... that is a must. This is a take them all kind of list so I really don't want to commit to just one phase.
