I still don't have any current books, movement trays or even a full 1k. So like I said to Madival, it'll be a while.<br /><br />@Colkillgor: Wow! Thanks for the info! As Madival just suggested, I was going to move the captain to a lord choice general. That ought to then make room for a BSB & Wizard (dropping Nick Nolte as I have no Artillery for him to assist). The militia box comes with 4 Halberds & 4 Greatsword arms, so that's where most of those two regiments came from, hence my splitting that box across the army. However some arty will be needed eventually. I'll check out your link here in a bit. <br /><br />@ Neverness: Yes, boo. lol. Yeah I periodically peruse that site & have found that most Stirland themed armies are built from multiple militia boxes, just as mine is. <br /><br />@Madival: Patience Grasshopper.Da Masta Cheefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05941441877537371502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1607148523152146537.post-45841955029271431572012-06-05T03:20:42.393-04:002012-06-05T03:20:42.393-04:00@colkillgor At 1000 points, you have 250 points of...@colkillgor At 1000 points, you have 250 points of lord allowance.

The guns will also work for Empire mortars. The center piece of the build are some wooden dowel rod finials with a 1/4 inch hole. They are the little bell shaped knobs that go on the end of dowel rods they use for flags. Unless you only play at GW stores they should fine for friendly play, all you need to do is add a few crew men and you are in the mortar business.<br /><br />Here is a link to my tutorial on my blog.<br />http://mlwodementia.blogspot.com/2011/05/venusian-bombards.html<br /><br />I found most of the bits on sale at craft stores and made a half dozen for less than $10. <br /><br />ColKGColKillgorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16525442150477092825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1607148523152146537.post-16234878914544934382012-06-04T19:52:52.641-04:002012-06-04T19:52:52.641-04:00from looking at your other posts and your plan to ...from looking at your other posts and your plan to get a wizard I think this list may be close.<br /><br />Empire captain general pistol full plate armor 71 pt<br /><br />master engineer grenade launching blunderbuss light armor 76 pt<br /><br />Battle wizard level 2 100pt<br /><br />13 halberdiers full command 108 pt<br /><br />12 archers marksman 94 pt<br /><br />10 swordsmen full command 100 pt<br /><br />15 greatswords full command 195 pt<br /><br />744 points<br /><br />for a 1000 point army you can only add 3 more points to your heros so no points for magiic items unless you drop one. Using the greatsword standard as a BSBearer is 91 points so you would have to drop the wizard or the captain and engineer to be able field the BSB and be under 250 points for heros. It seems that the Captain can't take a pistol and great weapon like your model so I went with the pistol option. I don't have my armybook handy to double check army builder,<br /><br />You can add a magic banner to the greatsword standard the ranger standard is 50 points and gives them the strider special rule and makes the great swords 245 points and the total 794. <br /><br />Add 2 mortars at 100 points each for 200 points takes you to 994.<br /><br />So a Wizard, 2 mortars and a magic standard on the Greatsword will put you right on 1000 points.<br /><br />ColKGColKillgorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16525442150477092825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1607148523152146537.post-21344406635783722932012-06-04T19:08:02.083-04:002012-06-04T19:08:02.083-04:00You're into Fantasy now?
