Your list has no meat and no staying power. This is a real problem considering the Empire, if used correctly, has some of the highest staying power in the game.

Do either of these two options:

A. Replace the militia with knights.

B. Replace the militia and handgunners with 25 man swordsmen units with 9 swordsmen detachments.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/246496/810622.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/246496/810622.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/246496/810851.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/246496/810851.page GMT
I'll have a steam tank to run along the flanks of any unit that gets stuck in my flags/militia.

Any power units are destroyed by the time they reach my lines via 4 x cannon, hellblaster, HLRs and magic.

Whatever is left should be clean-uppable by Lore of metal into combat and a steam tank along the flank, along with a likely flank charge of militia.

25 swords with detachment would be alright, though unless you're putting in a griffon banner, you're paying 1 pt for 1 WS which to me, is pointless. If anything that matters is still up by the time it gets passed mid-field, I'm going to lose, and that's fine with me.
Personally, the 1 to 1.5 wounds caused per turn from the HLRs is > then the minimal gains of WS4/armor save of the swordsmen.

I should have mentioned, this is a witch hunter themed list, and all models are converted, the swordsmen don't really fit visually, and for the extra 34 points, I'm not sure I like them over militia.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/246496/811254.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/246496/811254.page GMT
The 1 point means you're taking fewer hits from enemy WS 4 and sword and shield means a 4+ save in close combat which is pretty nifty. On paper I definitely concur with the swordsmen selection, but if you can get some of the other infantry to work, more power to you. I always found it kind of sad that spearmen and halbrediers so rarely got to see the gaming table.
