My Empire army

good sized. now paint!

although, wait a minute, needs more demigryphs

Did I see this posted on the 8th FB group the other day?

So when you paint them, will you be using the Reikland colour scheme (not that I know what that is) or will you use your own and/or have allied detachments in other colours (e.g hockland).

P.s it can't be complete yet as there are no halflings or hotpot catapult! (And yes I know they are not from Reikland but that's no excuse 😉).

Edit: I meant to add it's an impressive amount of models. Though I don't envy the time it will take to paint them!

I started the army back in 7th edition, so when Demis where introduced they didn't strike me as very Reiklandish. While not impossible, I don't plan to add any for the forseable future. My Greatswords horde is what my army is centered around, so in regular-sized games they take a lot of points already!


Yes, I did post it in the 8th edition group so you might have seen it there already

And yes when painting time will come, it will be in Reikland color which is all white, with some accent color (traditionally red, but could be anything really, mine will probably be green as it's my go-to color).

For the Halfings, I have a friend who is building an all-Halfings Empire army so they are more than covered there


By hideously expensive Foot Troops, do you mean in points or money? Because they are in both! Thankfully I got very lucky and got them very cheap (about $25 for 25 models), so it was a hell of a way to start the unit! And you're right, the rest is made of some plastic Greatsword with Knight helmet and some other Knights from another manufacturer (forgot which, probably Mirliton).

Never really considered the War Altar, although I would go for the old one I think if I was to get one, partly because I like old models, and also that the only thing I would really want to add eventually would be a Luminark (pew pew big lasers!), so the old Altar wouldn't look to similar to it. But I always tend to stay away from those no-brainer "must include" units for some reason (especially when they don't fit the theme I'm going for), so that's another unit I never considered along with the Demis.

I'm not sure I would call the Luminark or War Altar must includes by any stretch. I tend to stay away generally form some of the newer things but I think the Empire releases were actually really strong model-wise

I was refering to the Altar more than the Luminark as a "must have" unit in general. It was a recurring unit I saw a lot on the web and in other lists (probably in 7th edition too when I started the army, but memory is a bit foggy on that).



Good to know! I know the Hurricanum was the prefered choice in general because it seemed to synergize better. But I kinda liked the idea of the defensive bonus of the Luminark (on Knights and Greatswords mostly), plus the bound spell is much better than the Hurricanum to me. I'll probably get one eventually if the opportunity present itself, or custom-build my own!
