Volkar and Altar
Engineer
State Troops x20
Greatswords x10
Pistolliers/Outriders x5
Demi Gryph Knights x3
Hellblaster

I know that the Volkar and Altar will be useful in larger games but I can build the models in there and find bases to use them as stand ins for a wizard or warrior priest. I really like the idea of the Pistoliers and would prefer them over the Outriders unless the Outriders are significantly stronger.

Using what I have and adding in some other core choices what would you veteran WHFB players recommend?

Thanks in advance for your advice. Again I am looking to create a list with what I have available and 1 box of something to fill my mandatory core choices.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/600052/6923262.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/600052/6923262.page GMT
For your 750 game start with taking 20 halberds with a warrior priest in them as your base. Then the demis will be your hammer as they are very strong. Then you can throw in the greatswords as a flanking unit.

As for what to get:
Halberdsx3 boxes minimum add more depending on army theme.
Demisx1 box should cut it.
I recommend 2 great cannons for all purpose killing machines.
Wizard lords are useful, bathazar gelt is the only named lord I fully recommend.
Any of the magic wagons are good for infantry hoards.

If you want to make a list at about 2000-2500 for the future you can, we can then give advice or make comments on where to spend your hard earned cash.

Best of luck.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/600052/6924188.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/600052/6924188.page GMT
20 Statetroops with a standard, musician and champion only comes in at 150. Should I bump them up to 30 then?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/600052/6924340.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/600052/6924340.page GMT +++ 750pt Empire 8th Ed AB and 8th Ed BRB Roster (Standard)) +++

Here is what I have come up with so far. Any ideas as to how to finish this list up? I know I need more points in core at this point level so any suggestions as to what to add there? What I have listed so far are things I currently own. I do not own anything else from the core section so I am open to purchase whatever option you think should fill it. If there are things in other categories you think would be better choices at this level let me know!

Thanks!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/600052/6926621.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/600052/6926621.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/600052/6926757.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/600052/6926757.page GMT
If you like state troops a lot you will want to pick up the comet wagon for the +1 to hit bubble, and lastly a steam tank will do you wonders.

Good luck!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/600052/6930612.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/600052/6930612.page GMT IMO, they just don't have a place in anything lower than a 1.5 or 2k list. That being said, they are some of the coolest looking units the emp has.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/600052/6976700.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/600052/6976700.page GMT
