Total Roster Cost: 1999

TGM and priest with out the icon go together with war banner unit
Other priest and Wizard go into other full command unit

2 knight units plus pistoliers to bait and flee or warmachine/lone wizard hunt

Stank usually rolls towards the hardest unit, cannon snipes and mortar is for hordes

only 5 dispel dice and 2 scrolls but not sure where to get more
TGM stays because I don't have a Popemobile

If I could get my hands on one I'd drop the mortar and the preceptor from one unit of knights and get the lector on altar with AMI, SWoSIG and VHS makes 1998 with 7 DD

Thoughts?

Papa Smurf,

Okay, sorry about not reviewing this, I promise next time I will. I've only got a couple of quick comments.

1) I've never been fond of splitting artillery braces. I'm always one to pair up cannon or mortars. I'd suggest either using a second mortar (for template goodness), or a second cannon... though you do have an additional cannon in the steam tank.

2) Your cannon and mortar have zero screen. You might want to consider getting a few handgunners to act as a speed bump. Or, if your group allows mercenaries, a block of 12 dwavers with heavy armor, sheild, crossbow, and full command does a great job of protecting your artillery.

3) If your game allows it, go for the Galloper Gun. Its mobility would greatly complement your knight units. Nothing says awesomeness like an enfulade shot from the Galloper Gun... and with it's base 8" movement, your opponent has to send a more-mobile unit against it... else you just play "Can't-catch-me-I'm-the-gingerbread-man" all day.

4) I can't tell because of how AB does the list, but did you get a 7-strong list of Inner Circle Knights? As was shown to me ICKs work best as smaller squads (5 - 6 sized, including any characters.) Otherwise, you're payign for an ability you're not using.

5) Lacking the War Altar, or a second tank, you might want to consider dropping the steam tank. With the points, you could get a second cannon, a second unit of pistoliers, and a pair of Outridder champions for those pistoliers.

6) With the low-side of anti-magic, you might want to go a bit more risky and get the Seal of Distruction. You'll have to sacrifice a dispell scroll for it, but it gives you that 50-50 chance of flat out removing a spell from the game. It even gives you a chance to destroy bound-spell items too.

7) I know you say the Templar Grand Masters stays, but you might want to consider swapping him for an Elector Count, and saving some serious points. Same LD, so just about the same "immunity to psychology" effect, but, more importantly, it'll let you get a second magic banner for your army.

With your lowish anti-magic, you could get the Banner of Arcane Warding. Or, you could enhance your smaller knight units with the Steel Standard, giving them a bit more reach for their flank charges.

Anyway, just some quick thoughts.

Warrior Priest (141)
Heavy Armour Shield BWH Sword of Battle VHS

BWH 2 x Scroll

5 x Knights (123)

6 x Knights (162)
Full Plate Shield Lance HW Musician Preceptor

6 x Knights (162)
Full Plate Shield Lance HW Musician Preceptor

6 x Pistoliers (115)

Lost the cannon because I'm just more accurate with the mortar. Used Shroud rather than relic to give more magic defense and the ubiquitous VHS for character killing

Please let me know what you think
Thanks
