				<description><![CDATA[ as you've probably already noticed, 3 dispel dice does not make a happy magic phase for you.  While your heavy blocks can absorb magic missiles, any of the "hit everybody in your unit" spells like Black Horror or Flames of the Phoenix will really leave you hurting.  Hochland sniping Mages is one of those works better in theory actions also, unless you completely load your army down with them.<br /> <br /> You'll also need to redirect heavy chargers, as there's a lot of stuff out there nowadays that laugh at your +5 static combat res and crush your blocks.  <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(72);'>IMO</span> most Empire infantry armies will suffer from this, but it'd be good to have a plan when you can't defeat someone with static res.<br /> <br /> Lord-wise, if you're not using the General's free banner or Griffin mount, you're probably better off w/ the Arch Lector (for dispel dice) or the Grand Master (for choppy).]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ I would second the suggestion that you need more magic defense. Any magic phase will hurt you and <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(138);'>VC</span>, Daemon, <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(27);'>DE</span> and <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(385);'>WoC</span> will absolutely rape you in the magic phase. <br /> <br /> If your going to take champs in the handgunners then get the hochland, pick off those pesky wizards!<br /> <br /> The big unit of greatswords does nothing for me (or you really) You already have two anvil units but you have no hammers. A 6 strong unit of <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(67);'>IC</span> Knights would help give them the war banner and let them go<br /> <br /> I would change around your heroes. Your Lord needs a ward save - TGM w Sword of Sigismund and Holy relic is my usual outlay. The <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(174);'>BSB</span> is a point sink, drop the banner give him meteoric iron and sword of battle or striking. Put the warrior priest on a barded horse with the hammer of might, shield HA and the Icon of Magnus and stick him with the <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(67);'>IC</span> knights. Find the points somewhere for a scroll caddy - you need the two scrolls and you might get lucky with Lore of metal and sneak a spell through. <br /> <br /> Hellstorm is too random for me, unless your playing skaven where you really can't help but hit something<br /> <br /> Cheers<br /> <br /> PapaSmurf]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Hmm, You may be on to something with those greatswords, Papasmurf. <br /> <br /> Also, I've noticed that my dispel sucks. I'm definitely trying to fit in either a scroll caddy or just a over-all wizard for my Magic Phase. <br /> <br /> spmusubi, what free banner? Don't you pay for this in points??? (My armybook isn't with me, i'll have to check it up.)<br /> <br /> That aside, i'll look into more knights/ Magic Phase.<br /> <br /> I'm also thinking about putting in a Steam Tank]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Well, it's not free, but taking the General gives a single State Troops unit the ability to take a magic banner in their unit instead of on a <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(174);'>BSB</span>.  Banner of Arcane Warding can be used to protect a mage heavy block, or the WarBanner + Griffon <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(174);'>BSB</span> makes a massive static combat res block.  It's one of the few advantages that the General brings to the table over the other 2 Lords.  ]]></description>
