BSB and a general with good leadership. This leaves 2 slots for other characters, and 2 lvl 2s will do very little. So this is why you often see a scroll caddy as the third character, and maybe a priest as a speculum holder. (or a wizard with rod of power)

That being said, Empire can bring decent magic, it just isn't seen as being optimal by many.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/253735/928259.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/253735/928259.page GMT Equipping Empire Wizards...

A friend of mine plays an arch lector in the war alter and 3 lv 2's. He usually takes fire magic, then 4 scrolls, and the destroyer. Between the lector and the 3x lv 2's you get a lot of spell defense. 7 dispel dice is pretty sweet with 4 scrolls.

For offensive magic, i've seen the lector, 2x lv2's, and a warrior priest with one of the bound items that's not arcane. The Arch lector, gets the speculum, 1+ armor save, and ward from his war alter. So you get his 2 bound spells/prayers but you also get to cast a bound spell from the war alter. Basically its unbreakable, so you crash into the middle of your opponents's line, use the lv 2's that are hiding in cannons or handgunners to cast fire balls, then go for cleansing flare from the war alter. Its a pretty offensive magic phase and effective.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/253735/938529.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/253735/938529.page GMT Equipping Empire Wizards...

Arch lector (on WAlter if you are after a comp hit)
Level 2- Rod of power- (always save 1-2 dice per turn, I'd not chance 3), Power stone
Level 2- 2 scrolls, or a scroll and a power stone.

Lets you get off a couple of turns of magic hammer and also allows you to slow the summon spam of VCs or the magic of daemons...

Then take a Capasus with aldreds casket and fly around stealing VC general's summon spell, or DE sorceress' Power of darkness or the spells from tzeentch horrors. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/253735/939259.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/253735/939259.page GMT Equipping Empire Wizards...

If you're running pair of mages (and especially if you're running 3 mages), consider taking seal of destruction somewhere as it has decent potential for crippling certain armies magic phases by taking out the crucial spell. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/253735/943412.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/253735/943412.page GMT
