so making progress

[andys]

Always nice to see progress being made 

I get the impression that many players tend to have extra units beyond, say, 2000 points. That way they can vary the composition of their 2000 point army, trying out various combinations to see what works for them.

For example, this is my Empire army (well it will be when I've finished it, I've still got a unit of Knights, 2 units of cannons and 5 Skirmisher stands to paint):

6 x Halberdiers
3 x Handgunners
6 x Crossbowmen
1 x Flagellants
10 x Skirmishers
4 x Knights
5 x Pistoliers
2 x Helblasters
3 x Cannon
2 x Steam Tank
1 x General
5 x Heroes
1 x Hero on Griffon
3 x Wizard

Just under 3500 points. So if I ever manage to play a game, I've got a good variety of units to pick from.

But without more halbadiers and presumably knights, i am pretty much stuck at 2k arent i :p

[Stormwind]

Hrrm, yes, you need to take out 4 cannon and 4 Helblasters.

You can use the Warmonger miniatures Swordsmen as Halberdiers proxies, that would be a cheap way to make you legal for 3000 and 4000 points.

And a real Beauty!

I might have a spare Skirmishers blister (3 stands) for trade for a Helblaster.

Your in Dallas?
DEAL!

I just recalled that I traded them away.  Along with my spare Halberdiers and Knights.  For Lizardmen.   

[Stormlord77]

Ah well.  Appreciate it anyways

[Stormlord77]

Well, i done it!

Just ordered me 2 units of warmonger greatswords
because EVERY empire army needs greatswords!

Just sharing, cause well, I am excited, the wife could care less

[jchaos79]

Sounds good for me. I wouldn't change anything (at least with my style of playing with empire)

[Stormlord77]

Made one slight change, figured i'd see what ya'll thought of this, compared to the previous list
I like it, cause Hochland is known known for large numbers of handgunners compared to other empire regional armies, and it just seems slightly fluffier to me which is always good

anyways, what do ya'll think of this (albeit slight) variant?

[Draccan]

Let us know how this works out for you!

Personally I would probably go for 2 more knights, drop a pistolier, magic sword, wizard and helblaster....
