So. A friend of mine has started playing Empire again I'll be facing him in a few weeks. I wanted to make a different kind of list, mostly for fun but also to some things about the general balance of Ninth age. Therefor I'm leaving both the steamtank and artillery at home and instead I went for the list below.
My opponent will probably bring a small unit of reiters, 40+ halberdiers, 30+ imperial guards, some griffons, some elite knights, a stank a militia unit similar to mine, some artillery and twenty-ish crossbowmen.
The plan should be fairly obvious. The KC and the Inquisitor (Witch Hunter) will be riding with the Knightly order. The BSB will stay in the second rank of the smaller Electoral Cavalry unit. That unit will be kept in reserve and formed in ranks of 3 to protect my BSB. The larger unit of Core cavalry will smash stuff, the Reiters will harass stuff and chew warmachines. The Archwizard will just hide behind everything else along with the militia and the mounted lvl 1-wiz will either be in the same unit as the BSB or with the Knightly order. His only job is to melt things with the signature spell.
The griffs will mostly look scary so that I can line up flank charges with the other units.
The only thing I'm having a hard time deciding is if the Archwiz should take Wilderness or Nature. They both do pretty much the same but Wilderness is better on the offence whereas Nature is better on the defence and allows me to resurrect stuff. All suggestions and ideas are welcome.
