Hey all. I'm participating in a small local tournament this saturday.
I'll be using 9th for the 3rd time, expecting to meet a WoC, Vampires, DE.

I played against WoC with the below list tuesday, and scored a solid victory. It's tweaked a bit since tuesday:

Total                  2400      

Using the block of Halberdiers to make a solid center, supported by the archers or crossbowmen as detachment. Putting the prelate and BSB in there to make them hold, and the arcane engine close by.

Handgunners as wizard bunker and prclose to the warmachines.
Warmachines protected by imperial guard.
Artificer to make the volleygun hit.

Small knight unit to flank and hunt warmachines. Supported by mounted warriorpriest.
Big Knight unit and demigryphs to win.
                        

All comments greatly appreciated.

10 knights is not much. I would consider dropping the mounted priest: the ability to reroll the average of 5 misses and scoring maybe 3 more wounds is not as valuable as let's say taking 5 pistoliers or 4 more knights to the unit. Or at least I don't trust my knights with priest to do much damage and I usually use them to protect my flank.

The list seems to be quite solid with a big meatgrinder unit and good amount of firepower. 10 imperial guard is a bit wierd choise but why not.

As it turned out, the army seemed pretty strong.

I need to do something about the knights, and the imperial guard is out of the list.

I probably end up getting two unit of cheap knights for redirecting and killing chaf, a bigger unit of knights for killing stuff, and will try to squese in an extra grif knight.
