Hey, glad to have the Old World back. My first army I am working on is going to be The Empire, the next is going to be chaos dwarves, wood elves, or dark elves. I have awhile to decide as I want to get my Empire printed and painted before I even attempt another army. I am not a super competitive player and doubt I will play at anything but narrative events. To me its more hobby and seeing the epicness of large rank and file block warfare on the tables again. I never got into AoS as I didnt like the small scale and lack of rank and file. Back in the day I had chaos dwarves and Orcs and goblins and thought nothing of putting down 100 night goblin archers in a solid block of troops with the poison banner. While I am doing this for hobby mostly reasons and I am hoping the TOW community will self-regulate like the Horus Heresy community, I also dont want to get blown off the board every game, thus this post.
General of the Empire- full plate, shield, griffon, Giant Blade, Talisman of preservation
Captain full plate, hand weapon, BSB- Razor standard.
Chapter master- Lance, full plate, shield, Barded warhorse
Master mage level 2- no clue on the lore
2 Engineers with repeater handguns
7 Empire knights-lances, shields full command
5 empire archers - scouts
5 empire archers - scouts
20 State troops- spears, shields, full command
--Detachment 5 handgunners
--Detachment 10 halberdiers
20 Great Swords FC
--detachment 5 hand gunners
--detachment 10 Halberdiers
2 great Cannons
3 Demigryph knights with FC
Nothing except the great swords and demigryphs are really etched in stone, I like the models. I would like to have more hand gunners in my detachments if not an extra unit of state troops but thats the purpose of point limits. I dont have the rules for the giant blade or the talisman of protection so I am just assuming what they do(boost strength and a ward save?).
I think I finally have nailed down a paint scheme. Went through an entire print of handgunners doing different schemes until I hit on one I like, teal and yellow.
