Hey, so my local store has gotten me into a bunch of new games, most recently Kings of War.

Now while I know that gunlines aren't that fun in other games, I couldn't resist starting an army based on British Napoleonic Infantry. So it is really quite a gunline. It's based on the 3rd Brigade from the Battle of Waterloo (basically Light Infantry). So here was my thought of a list, the brackets being what they are meant to be.

General (Wellesly) - 130 points
-Horse

Army Standard Bearer (Regimental Colours) - 30 points

Troop of Knights (Scots Grey) - 115 points
-Musician
-Banner

Troop of Knights (Scots Grey) - 115 points
-Musician
-Banner

Regiment of Missile Troops (95th Rifles) - 125 points
-Musician
-Rifles

Regiment of Missile Troops (52nd Regiment of Foot)- 125 points
-Musician
-Rifles

Horde of Missile Troops (52nd Regiment of Foot)- 230 points
-Musician
-Banner
-Rifles

Regiment of Missile Troops (71st Regiment of Foot)- 125 points
-Musician
-Rifles

Regiment of Missile Troops (71st Regiment of Foot) - 125 points
-Musician
-Rifles

Horde of Missile Troops (71st Regiment of Foot) - 230 points
-Musician
-Banner
-Rifles

Cannon (9 pounder) - 75 points

Cannon (9 pounder) - 75 points

The regiments of missile troops I might break down a bit further, as their intent is to act as a skirmishing company, moving forwards and harassing the enemy. The hordes of missile troops are intended to simulate the main body of the regiment. The knights are there to provide some flanking support, keep their cavalry off me, and to let me find a use for the Scots Greys models that Perry make The cannon are there because, well, boom?

Anyway I'd like to see what you think of that, and how I could get the list to work while keeping it in theme. Thanks.

Its a good ranged list, the problem I can see with it though is that it hasn't got any real melee power. That will be a problem unless you can get real lucky on your shooting because in 2 maybe three turns you'll be in range of charges from practically any army
