well, this is my personal opinion as i never got enough chance to look through the army book, but i think its 0-1.

the reason? in the background only 8! exist. so firstly they're a rare sight on the battle feild, secondly i don't think the engineer coledge would lend out 2 at the same time lol.

i'll check that out for you on saturday (or sooner) but i'm pretty sure its 0-1. however after reading that empire forum my certainty is slowly turning to hope... lol

i thought a dragon backing up a steam tank was bad. a steam tank backing up the dragon thats backing up the steam tank makes me cringe. all in 2k points.

we canny take enough jezzails ta shoot it all!

Here's the full rumour compilation thread on warhammer empire: http://www.warhammer-empire.com/component/...4/topic,12882.0

It doesn't say anything about the restriction of the steam tank changing, but it should contain enough juicy bits for everyone to chew on for now.

How it looks now though, I am very happy with the list. The only thing I don't like is the technological advancement of the engineers guild and their warmachines (just that entire part of the empire army feels wrong to me, but I have yet to see the end result..). The rest of the changes in the infantry, knights, sigmarite section and magic section are all improvements IMO.

Cheers,
Bodacious.

Speaking of which, does anyone remember the Battle Report from many, many years ago when there was 6-8 Steam Tanks in the Empire force? :rolleyes: Probably the hugest battle Ive ever seen, with around 24,000pts per side! (oh the things they used to do in the good old days!!)


And thanks for the link to that list! State troops will really be a better option now that their command is cheaper as well! An average unit of 25 will now be around 30pts cheaper! Nice! ^_^

My club had a big multiplayer game that had 6400pts a side. We finished at 3am. ^_^ And one of my assassins won the game. Brass orb+second generation slann=fun for the whole family. 1500vps in one go. Only time it's ever worked, but it was funny as hell.

Onto the original topic, I actually rather like the concepts of mechanical horses and pidgeon bombs. The thing is it that the model (for the horse at least, we'll have to wait and see for the pidgeons) is just...bad. Grenade launcher I'm not so sure about though. Wouldn't grenades in general come first? Are there any grenades of any sort in the game right now? Smoke bombs, maybe, but nothing else even comes close.
Polymphus is too busy and/or lazy to update song of the week this week. Stay tuned!

Much the same I think except higher ld and movement is only 4. Maybe a lower I.

But I don't have the empire book so im not sure.

@mebob: No, clanrats with spears cost 6 points

Swordsmen have WS4 compared to clanrats and (I think) lower initiative and lower movement. Clanrats also have higher Ld when fully ranked. So we're still superior ;) .

whew I thought for a minute the entire warhammer world were going to get upgrades in WS so you would you see empire soldiers actually managing to defeat dwarfs in hand to hand
