Hi all. A friend on another forum has agreed to look at these for me, but I would welcome anyone's opinions. Feel free to - POLITELY! - criticise anything and everything in the lists. Please bear in mind the following:
* I generally don't do 'one trick ponies'
* I generally avoid WAAAC lists
* I am generally happy to win one in two of my games. This doesn't generally happen, but I'd rather be thought of as a lucky but sporting opponent than "That Tedders guy with the WAAAC Empire army".
* Also, I don't really have a specific regular opponent or army so these are just designed as balanced Empire lists.
Thanks in advance!!

They all look fine and well rounded to me, I'd play any of them frankly I start disliking playing against empire at 2k upwards when you start seeing all of the following in the same army:
- level 4 on Heavens
- Steam Tank
- War Altar + van horsmanns arch lector
- Hellstorm
- Cannon (x2 sometimes)
- Mortar (x2 sometimes)
- Large Flaggelant unit
- pegasus hero
- maybe another large infantry unit + some missile units OR LOADS of missile units
Turtle, fire and kill.
*yawn*
Your lists however look fun!

In general I have found detachments to be unnecessary. Those points are sort of tied up (as they have to remain next to their parent unit) and are easily broken by missile fire.
Of the 3, I like list C. Always nice to see a fire mage blowing things up. If you drop the shields off the halberdiers and a detachment, you can make room for additional units, or a warrior priest.

I've found shields are often worth it against low-S shooting. What would you say about dropping the detachments for a warmachine or extra missile troops. T.B.H, I've found detachments useful when I can get them into combat, it's getting into combat that generally proves to be the tricky part....Silic wrote:In general I have found detachments to be unnecessary.
