So this is a pretty typical question, as the title suggests, whats the best way to start an empire army? I'd prefer to keep this as cost efficient as possible. I know I'm going to want ~30 halberdiers, a couple cannons, some Demi-Gryph Knights and probably a Steam Tank. But just to get started at ~1000pt level what should I pick up? Best to go with a Battalion (despite not needing everything that comes in the box)? Or better to just buy the individual components that I need/want? At low points am I better to get a couple priests or a couple mages?

Thanks,

The 2 sets together will give you 20 knights and easily 2000pts that can actually compete.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/545963/5945901.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/545963/5945901.page GMT Best Way To Start Empire BSB and Mage boxes are good places to get leaders--and they have plenty of extra bits for extra characters.
-Warrior priests are part of the fun of Empire, and they're cheap on points; at 1500 points its not that hard to fit in a lvl 2 wizard, a BSB, and a warrior priest.
-It's not that hard to build the handgunners as state troops--you may run out of halberds, but you'll have extra swords and shields for swordsmen. (Most people don't care for spearmen.)
-Although someone will surely disagree with me, conventional wisdom is that regular knights should have Great Weapons (so they're stronger stuck in), however if you build them with shield+lance you can also run them as reiksguard. If you're buying boxes, though, you'll end up with lots of knights anyway; two battalions is enough knights for a 10-man GW unit of core knights and a 5-man lance+shield unit of reiksguard.
-Demigryphs should have lance+shield (for the 1+ save, the rider does less damage that way but it's the demigryph that really matters)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/545963/5946028.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/545963/5946028.page GMT Re:Best Way To Start Empire
2* Battalions
box of Demis
box of wizards (2)
box of General (2), one can be used as a Captain
Warrior Priest

for less than 200 € + p&p. That gives you five characters, 60 infantry, 16 Knights, 3 Monstrous Cavalry and two cannon - plenty of staying power, fire power, magic, mobility, armour, and probably nearly 2k.

Once you're familiar with the army and game mechanics, look into a Hellblaster + Engineer, a box of Archers to run interference, a Steam Tank and the three buff wagons but for a start, the above is plenty.
