Hey all,
So, I took a long break from Warhammer and am slowly weening myself into the new rules and Empire army. I've played one game so far, using a griffon formation type army and lost pretty badly, mostly due to my total failure to use my Archers properly. I want to keep at it until I can master it so I've come up with a 3000 point list that I will be using in a 3v3 game this Friday (I am unsure of what everyone else is bringing). I am somewhat limited to models (mostly the current lack of knights), otherwise I would include a big unit of knights. Anyways here's what I've come up with.
Arch Lector (General, goes with Halberdiers)
Greatweapon
Armor of Destiny
Wizard Lord
Level 4
Talisman of Protection
Lore of Heavens
Captain (goes with Halberdiers)
Battle Standard Bearer
Full Plate
Sword of Battle
Charmed Shield
Dawnstone
Warrior Priest (goes with Greatswords)
Greatweapon
Heavy Armor
Battle Wizard
Level 1
Dispel Scroll
Lore of Beasts
Master Engineer
48 Halberdiers
Full Command
2 x 15 Halberdier Detachments
10 Archers
2 x 5 Archer Detachments
5 Knights
Musician
29 Greatswords
Full Command
3 Demigryph Knights
Musician
Lances
3 Demigryph Knights
Musician
Lances
Great Cannon
Great Cannon
Helblaster Volley Gun
Steam Tank
Celestial Hurricanum
The plan is to have the center of my army revolve around the Halberdiers, with the Greatswords on one flank and the steam tank on the other with the 3 knight units on whichever flank looks best. I plan on keeping the 2 main blocks close together for the Hurricanum and BSB. The greatswords will be 6x5.
So mostly I'm wondering, do my characters and their items look good and what could be done to tweak the list, but keep it similar in theme?
Also, I was thinking of just having my Wizards hang out behind the main units (unless their are fliers or other manoverable chaff), but should I throw them into the two blocks?
Thanks!
