Detatchments kick ass in an empire army.
They don't cause panic.
Allow you to flank your opponent (not really all that helpful vs all skirmished armies)
Allow you to take shooters to support your main blocks.

Pistoliers with a muso and warrior priest are a fantastic unit running up the flank.

Engineers are the worst unit in the list. Get rid of him.
Sub a model for another warrior priest which will give you 2 bound spells, and the wizard lord as general which means you can take a BSB for valuable rerolls.

Problem though is that his entire army causes fear so snake eyes are unlikely even with the reroll...

Read the description a bit better (though it isn't the clearest of items).

The Banner only makes them cause Fear if they charge (so no good when being charged or standing in range of a Terror causer) and they only get it once it's determined they are in range . Guess what? That means they only benefit from causing Fear after they've taken any Fear tests for wishing to charge a Fear causing enemy.

Now, if they lose combat they won't autobreak from combat when outnumbered by a Fear causing enemy but that's not really cause for celebration.

The best use of this Banner is giving it to a (large) Knight unit that's chargin troops that do not cause Fear/Terror themselves and aren't immune to psychology/unbreakable. Now they should win combat (unless the dice are against you, and you did charge into a combat you can win didn't you?), you're unit strength should be pretty big and now you autobreak the enemy unit.
Very situational IMO and against quite a few armies completely useless, against Wood Elves it's not completely useless but there's not much chance of it being usefull (unless your opponent plays with sizeable units of Spear Elves).

If you want to take something that helps vs Fear/Terror then take a character with the Icon of Magnus in the unit.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/224019/470117.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/224019/470117.page GMT
