2250 Empire v2.0

Subject: 2250 Empire v2.0 Thu Jul 17, 2008 2:47 pm

A swing towards the Magic phase while stamping out the potential 2nd Steam Tank by picking up the War Altar. Not sure how I missed the Rod of Power the first go as its a nice piece of kit. Dumped the Greatswords though I'll probably finish painting them for eBay.. maybe.

I'm not sure if you want feedback on this list or not? but I guess I'll leave it for you as just something to think about. Is this a tourney list or a just for fun list. If its a tourney list as an empire player, I've seen War Altar plus steam tank in a list take a comp hit, if its just for fun do whatever you want.
I guess the main drawback against his is combat res. I don't see anything other than The big block of knights with it. And you've put a lot of points into that.
Also you don't have any pistolier's. Which i think are the best unit the empire has other than the Pope Mobile.
I'd like to play it sometime could Empire Civil war is great fun

I tried for a mix of comp friendly and tourney ready (ie: less models to paint) I agree on the Pistoliers, but I need those slots for Cannons. The smallish Full Plate Knights will fill the role.

In one version I had twin Outriders with the 2 Cannon instead of the IC Knights.. thoughts?

You know I've done the outriders, and they the fact they cannot move and shoot is a strategic limitation. I use pisotliers much more. At first i thought the outriders rocked, but fast cavalry that doesn't move can easily be avoided. Where as i can get around the flanks and charge in the back and get warmachines with pistoliers, plus they allways stand and shoot and they ignore most to hit modifiers.
