I'm thinking about maybe adding a BSB and/or some Inner Circle Knights in place of something.

What do you think?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568023/6338088.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568023/6338088.page GMT Re:1k New to Empire CH and the WP. Those two combining are not always enough to take down a tough enemy, particularly with Halberdiers, so additional buffs in the magic phase will help you.

Also, BSBs are CRITICAL for Empire. Your Handgunners might disappoint you, so those are some points you could consider shedding. 40 Halberds might be a bit much for 1,000 points, so you could drop some points there, too.

Otherwise, I think it looks good. You'll enjoy the Helblaster. When you go up in points, make sure to add a Cannon or two and some faster units. But for a 1,000 point game, I think you're set!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568023/6338271.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568023/6338271.page GMT 1k New to Empire
If I had the points to add a BSB I would but I feel like the choices I made are more important at this point level. The handgunners are there mostly as just a bunker for the wizard but hey maybe they'll do something.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568023/6339051.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568023/6339051.page GMT Re:1k New to Empire
Honestly, I wouldn't give up on a BSB. Like I say, perhaps reducing the numbers of Halberdiers, switching 10 Handgunners to 5 Archers, and maybe bringing your Swordsmen detachment to 15, would give you the room. What you're going to find with Empire, is that you're not going to win every combat, so the Hold the Line rule with a reroll is critical, considering your Ld is sitting at 8.

I'm sure you'll like Light. I have taken it for a long time and have been very satisfied. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568023/6339867.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568023/6339867.page GMT 1k New to Empire bsb]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568023/6340493.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568023/6340493.page GMT Re:1k New to Empire
I would drop the hand guns, and 5 swordsmen I think thats enough for a bare bsb

Well its more about the issue of being out of points to spend on heroes. I'm fine with trading out handgunners for a few archers, I'll save the handgunners for a bigger game.

However even if I for example bump up the Warrior Priest to a Arch Lector I'll still struggle to fit a BSB in the available hero points. I'm honestly more concerned about failing fear/terror checks vs. failing break checks, if I could find a way to make my main unit immune to psychology and thus give it to the other units I could ignore panic as well. I mean I'm sure I could manage to find the points to put a crowd of command on my priest but that doesn't really solve the issue. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568023/6340533.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568023/6340533.page GMT Re:1k New to Empire BSB, but if you do, that would give you some more security.

Just some thoughts.

I mean, the other possibility is that your combos are so good you never lose combat. That would be ideal, right? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568023/6340777.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568023/6340777.page GMT 1k New to Empire
