Hi all, my question- is it possible to create a competitive Empire list without magic casters? (magic items are fine)
Thinking 2,000 points, non end time

I’m not much of a Wizard guy, myself, and I think I have a few Empire lists that fit your requirements. I’ll post them when I’m back home.

knights and war machines. maybe some fast cav. Steam Tank.
State Troops get stuck in wet paper bags without magic buffs/warrior priest hatred.
if you allow yourself the buff wagons, the +1 to-hit version is a good one to go with knights.

Depends on whether you want to have a decent chance at winning. With no spell casters whatsoever, you need to max out Knights (IC and Reiksguard), but in particular DGK and Steam Tanks. Go basically all cavalry , with one or more cannon to deal with the big nasties early on, and some Outriders or Pistoliers. Reflect carefully on the characters you want to take. Perhaps Karl Franz with Kurt Helborg as BSB?

I'd agree with FvonSigmaringen, in that going 'all in' with Cav would likely bee the best way top go. Or, be 'that guy' and go the other way with cannon gunline. Out of interest, How does this comp deal with Dwarfs, Daemons & Undead?

Hmmm I think you're handicapped more than he is. Empire need all the help they can get against those three armies. Against those I'd be very tempted to go Cannon heavy. Empire Cavalry aren't going to be a contender here.
