Well recently I’ve been getting lessons for Fantasy at the local GW using my new Empire army. Been slowly using different units to find what works best and tomorrow night me and my tutor are going to be running 1k battle Empire vs. his Beastmen.

So far I’ve got this as a list but still need some help;

Lords
Battle Wizard Lord (in Handgunner Detachment)
Lore of Life, Wizard Level 3

Heroes
Warrior Priest (in with Halberdiers)
Additional Hand Weapon, Heavy Armour, Helm of the Skavenslayer

Core
Halberdiers x 24 (Full command)
Detachment - Handgunners x 9

Spearmen x 20 (Full Command)

Special
Great Cannon (120pts)

Rare
Helblaster Volley Gun

Now this comes to 874pts, I could add 5 x Knightly Orders Inner Circle plain (no command) to make it 999pts.
Other models I’ve got at the moment that I could add;
Battle Wizard
Witch Hunter
Master Engineer
More Handgunners
10 x Archers
Mortar
Many thanks for any help!

oh and by the way you should be able to trounce the beastmen with ease

Get the Engineer for the Volleygun he basically doubles its damage output.

If you're taking Lore of Life you need to be lvl4. Though I feel Shadow or Heavens might be better for you. As your damage out put isn't great.

A support lvl1 beasts for Wyssans would also fit your list well and you need a scroll in there.

Spearmen are weak drop them. Spend those points on more Halberdiers and detachments for them.

That's too many characters for 1000pts so i would say yes have a level 3 wizard but also try and take a plain bare bones engineer as the do double the damage out put of a hell blaster
hope this helps

Cheers for the advice guys.

Ended up adding a Engineer with Light armour and Enchanted Shield. Gave Spearmen shields and added 5 Archers to give a round 1,000pts.

Ended up winning too! The Helblaster is devastating first turn rolled 22 shots on the Ungor horde!

Will get my battle report up in the forum soon!
