Hello! We are starting a 6 man campaign and I am using middenheim. Here is the list I wrote. What do you think?

Captain -sword, mace 73
Champion -sword, mace 48
Champion -sword, mace 48
Young blood -mace, dagger 18
Young blood - mace, dagger 18

4X swordsman with 2 sword (1 warrior group, should I do 2x2?) 220 (55 each)
2X marksmen with bow, dagger (1 warrior group) 70 (35 each)

I've found that a smaller war band outfitted with as much premium equipment as you can afford has a better chance than more bodies does. I like to take the max 5 heroes in the beginning to increase the chances of a decent amount of wyrd stone. I always take a henchman from each group so as I actually start getting more income I can add to the groups before they get too experienced.

TLDR - Load up on heroes give them some of the best items available and they'll have more hitting and staying power. Plus due to the relatively small size of your warband you'll get more shards.

What are better load outs in your opinion?
