Anyway,  In my new army that i'm creating based basically on a cannon battalion (2-3 cannons) backed up by solid blocks of infantry, handgunners and some hard hitting knights. For my elector count (/grand master) who will be accompanying the inner circle knights (not white wolves) what mundane or magical items do you think he should have?

However, I persoanlly don't bother with it. I equip my Count to make him as surviveable as possible; to that end, I go with the Holy Relic (4+ Ward Save) and the Sword of Sigismund (+1S, First Strike). However, as he's part of a unit of Knights, the First Strike ability may not be as useful, since you should be breaking enemies on the charge. Use a weapon that will deliver serious power, such as the Sword of Power.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/103570/103859.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/103570/103859.page GMT RE: Mounted Elector Count-What items? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/103570/105314.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/103570/105314.page GMT RE: Mounted Elector Count-What items? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/103570/105330.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/103570/105330.page GMT RE: Mounted Elector Count-What items? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/103570/105360.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/103570/105360.page GMT RE: Mounted Elector Count-What items? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/103570/105599.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/103570/105599.page GMT RE: Mounted Elector Count-What items? lol i guess so.

Don't know... I never use one. I prefer having my general with the troops to spread around his leadership, and I like my Knights to have the ability to flee when faced with taking a charge I don't like.

I agree, that is my usual plan with my Empire.  Although when I get the crazy hair to field a grand master I usually equip him with the sword of power, holy relic, and the enchanted shield.  That way he hits with str6 has a 4+ ward and a 0+armor save.  Other options include dawn armor, white cloak, and the sword of might or striking.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/103570/105989.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/103570/105989.page GMT RE: Mounted Elector Count-What items?

CR to win.  Against dark elves I usually use cannons and static CR.......I think I am seeing a patern here.  I usually use my knights on a flank so I don't have that much exp. with using them as the core of my army.  Keep this in mind when tooling up a grand master, a bare bones aspiring champ with a great weapon will own him.  Your characters can't stand up to the best chaos has to offer, in fact they have a little trouble with the worst.  Use your strengths, tooled up characters are not one of them. Having said that there is nothing I like to see more in a game of warhammer than a glorious charge into a superior enemy, breaking them and running the cowards down like the dogs they are.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/103570/105998.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/103570/105998.page GMT RE: Mounted Elector Count-What items?
As he's got a 8-12 inner circle knights with a war banner at his back they would smash them apart. Correct?

Anyway i am playing to Empire's strengths. 2 Cannons, a mortar and plenty of missile troops are in my army list. I just want a cool, good and sold character at the front. Also i'm not using the knights as the core of my army. Several good solid blocks of infantry acompanied by a captain is the core. The grand master and the inner circle knights are to smash through the opponents flank or weak spot and therefor prevent march moves, do rear charges and so forth.

P.S. Whats CR?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/103570/106081.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/103570/106081.page GMT RE: Mounted Elector Count-What items? CR = Combat Resolution, like the bonuses from banners and ranks.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/103570/106091.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/103570/106091.page GMT RE: Mounted Elector Count-What items?
I would simply put a captain with the knights instead of the grand master.  That way I can have the leadership of the elector count in my infantry and still add some punch to my knights.  The elector also allows you to take the griffon standard in a massive block of spearmen, giving you a +7 Cr even before adding a flanking detachment.

P.S. CR stands for Combat Resolution.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/103570/106092.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/103570/106092.page GMT RE: Mounted Elector Count-What items? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/103570/110387.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/103570/110387.page GMT RE: Mounted Elector Count-What items? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/103570/110443.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/103570/110443.page GMT Mounted Elector Count-What items? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/244511.page]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/103570/781453.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/103570/781453.page GMT Mounted Elector Count-What items?
