Hi all,

I have finally rebased my old 8th Ed Empire army, and bashed up a list to start playing with in AoS!

The main idea is to hang back and let my great cannons do the work sniping monsters and characters. On 2 attacks, 3s to hit, re-rolling fails and 2s to wound at -2 D6 they are very strong. Until such time as I have to move up the board for objectives. The Gryph-hounds deny Alpha-Strikes, or at least make enemy models come in outside of 10".

The Greatswords form the frontline with solid blocks of swordsmen on the flanks. The handgunners are strung out behind the Greatswords and swords flanks, to deter charges with their stand and shoot.

The general and Hurricanums main jobs are unit buffing.

What are your thoughts?
