Musing of a General... On a Griffon



Cool Idea, But the Witch Hunter is cooler.

Well Hello Again Folks.

Sorry for lack of progress on the hobby front, I've been encountering issues. But with out further a dew I present to you my first, and final complete list for my Empire force. The forces marching out of the South Gate to confront Tamurkhan and his monstrous horde...




THE EMPIRE

 Lords (369pts)

    * Barthol Shadowmere - General of the Empire (369pts)
        Enchanted Shield, Full Plate armour, Griffon, Sword of Strife, Talisman of Preservation

 Heroes (541pts)

    * Adotiln Pegason - Battle Wizard (135pts)
    A wizard of the Ameythest Order, Adoltin Pegason was once a commoner who displayed remarkable talent for the conjuration of magic. He entered the Collages of Magic when he was just 20 years of age, with backing from some of the Leaders of the Ameythest Order. After several years of study his talents seem to reach a plateau, his superiors that had backed him several years earlier were displeased with his lack of advancement. Magestrix Espleth von Drak saved Adoltin form a grissly fate on the front lines of the Northern borders, by bringing him to Nuln to learn the craft of battle magic from her. When Tamurkhan and his Chaos horde invaded the Empire the Magestrix deemed Adoltin not yet ready for war, but times were dire, Adoltin was assigned to Lord Barthol Shadowmere as a Battle Wizard and the Magestrix personal envoy.
        Crown of Command, Wizard level 2

    * Abelard Grundel - Captain of the Empire (108pts)
    One of the lesser know decendants of Baron Albretch Grundel, in the years of Tamurkhan's invasion, Adelard Grundel was the head of the famous regiment Grundel's Defenders. While mobolising his troops and preparing the logistics of setting up Nuln's defences, Abelard was approached by an old Captain. Lord Barthol Shadowmere had upon entering the city come to see Abelard to request his aid. Abelard and his regiement set out immediatly and protected the convoys of refugees, defending them from the Chaos vanguard.
        Full Plate armour, Shield
        * BSB
            Wailing Banner

    * The Dirty Duke - Captain of the Empire (98pts)
        Full Plate armour, Ogre Blade, Shield

    * Captain Van Der Kraal (120pts)

    * Warden of the South Gate - Witch Hunter (80pts)
        Brace of Pistols, Dispel Scroll

 Core (940pts)

    * The Von Kragsberg Guard - Halberdiers (310pts)
        Musician, Sergeant, Standard bearer
        * 40x Halberdiers
            40x Shield

    * Grundel's Defenders - Spearmen (270pts)
        Musician, Sergeant, Standard bearer
        * 40x Spearmen
            40x Shield

    * Manann's Blades - Swordsmen (360pts)
        Duellist, Musician, 40x Swordsmen

        Count's Champion, 20x Great Swords, Musician, Standard bearer

 Rare (250pts)

    * Celestial Hurricanum (130pts)

    * Helblaster Volley Gun (120pts)


Overall the general idea is that each unit has a character to join it, the Two most obvious are Captain Van Der Kraal and his Manann's Blades and Abelard Grundel and Grundel's Defenders. Adotlin Pegason accompanies the Von Kragsberg Guard and the Warden of the South Gate (A fearsome Templar) accompanies the Exchequer Guard.

Some of the Characters have fluff ready, eventually all of the above entries will have a brief description, some will be copied out of the "Uniforms and Heraldry of the Empire" Book while the rest will be thought up from yours truly. Let me know what you think so far, and I'll update some fluff for your efforts.

Thanks for reading,

Andrew
