Post Pumpkin Pie Post...thats right 4 P's in a row

After a long break from pre-Thanksgiving to post-Thanksgiving our gaming has taken a halt. :( GOOD NEWS! We are back and in action and with new ideas and articles to come b4 the Christmas Rush Season. Arnie and I did get a quick game in b4 all the Turkey Feasting. HE vs Empire with a new list mentioned below: (I do believe on my final tweaks to the list)

General of the Empire
Griffon, FP, shield, sword of Sig

Lvl 4 mage - shadow

BSB - AoMI

3 warrior priests - HA, Shield

38 Swordsmen full cmd with BSB and WP

39 Halberdiers full cmd with WP

29 Greatswords full cmd with WP

2 mortars

cannon

6 outriders

6 outriders

with 32 points left i need to figure out some magic items to enhance the army

Maybe gleaming penanet for GS unit, Sword of might for BSB, Iron curse icon on WP with GS, and Potion of Fool Hardiness on Griffon General.

The game took a quick turn with some unfortunate dice rolling for the HE BSB and Prince that they both slipped and fell into a Pit of Shades on turn 2. I still don't particularly care for the 8th ed game changing over powered spells such as the Pit of Shades. But besides that the game still was very close after some bad dice rolling for my Empire troops. Overall the Empire did well against the ASF HE's which gave me alot of confidence with the transformed list. I wanted to play up the strengths of the Empire which are cheap hordes, vast amounts of support characters, artillery including black powder outriders, and Warrior Priests.
