My inspiration here was this fellow, I liked him so much, I wanted him to have an army to command. First I thought of using the Brettonia list, but they have a rule that all characters have to be mounted. My opinion is that army lists are more like suggestions, but still, I work better within some sort of limitations. So, because my general is on foot, a WHFB 3rd ed. Empire army it is.
I started with the absolute minimum of models needed with the army list, 20 halberdiers, 10 crossbowmen and the general.
I split the 20 halberdiers into 2 units of 10 and gave them musicians and standards, because I want every unit to have them, it looks fancy.
The army list allows for 3 independent characters, 1 level 25 and 2 level 20 heroes. The rest have to be assigned as champions to units. So thought the army would eventually compose of troops of the general (a duke) and the troops of 2 counts in the duke's service.
That way I could use 3 slightly different colour schemes. I went with green-white, green-red and green-black. They would all have the green, so the whole army would still tie together visually.
Also, the language of the Empire has traditionally been German, but my Swedish is better and I think it sounds funnier, so these guys are from the northern provinces, propably bordering with the Norse, with Swedish names.
So, my army list so far is:
- hertig Gustav Älgsson af Nödhammare
- level 25 hero, double handed weapon, hand weapon, heavy armour
- 135 points
- 10 hallebärdjär (halberdiers)
- halberd, hand weapon, light armour
- standard and musician
- 108 points
- 10 hallebärdjär (halberdiers)
- halberd, hand weapon, light armour
- standard and musician
- 108 points
- 10 armborstskytter (crossbowmen)
- crossbow, hand weapon, light armour
- standard and musician
- 120 points
- 471 points in total
