Empire Mob/Scum 2.5k list idea
« on: May 19, 2015, 11:26:34 PM »
First off, I refuse to buy anything until the next edition comes out. Second, with the new edition, this will probably all become irrelevant. However, I was bored and came up with this idea of a mob of crazy empire citizens. Some limitations with this idea mean no elite cavalry, no state troops, no good artillery (these rag tag people wouldn't have the money to buy a hellblaster, etc.). I know it won't win any games but I would like to offer up at least some decent resistance to other lists.

The real question is, does this list have any synergy and do the characters help the units?


Arch Lector, Barded Warhorse, shield, ironcurse icon, armour of destiny, ogre blade
Wizard, lvl 4, dispel scroll, talisman of preservation, lore of metal maybe?

Captain of Empire , pistol, full plate, BSB, dragonhelm, tailsman of endurance, barded warhorse, shield
Warrior Priest, HA, enchanted shield, seed of rebirth, sword of might
Witch Hunter, brace of pistols, van horstmann's speculum, charmed shield,
Witch Hunter, brace of pistols, great weapon

15 Crossbows, FC
30 Free COmpany, FC
10 Knightly Orders, Barding, Lance and Shield

30 Flagellants, champ

Mortar

Other options would include taking out the WP on foot and putting the Arch Lector on a War Altar. I guess I could also drop the witch hunters to make a light council though I like this theme better.

As you already know it's going to be a sub-par list (and that's being polite about it), so either keep with the rabble style or ditch the whole thing.

You've got 3 units of T3 unarmoured infantry - against anyone with any sort of shooting they will simply disappear.  If you want to try the theme you have to have more bodies and in more units.

I'd swap on lot of flagellents for 2 lots of free company, one mortar for a cannon (if you can get your hand on on a mortar there isn't much difference in fluff terms between that and a cannon).

I'd also run more, lower level characters - swap lvl 4 for pair of lvl2's - not so much stuff on other characters?

Heh, right now its a buyers market. People are just throwing their armies away for cheap.
Also, people might not be playing the new edition.


I think taking the knights is against your theme.
I would add more free company. And take shadow because of the reduce toughness spell - your mortars will destroy stuff. And mindrazor is great on the free company.
