my count might be wrong but it looks like you only have 2 cc units.


in that big an army thats a little weak

id suggest addinbg some halberds with those nifty attachments or whatever.

indeed plus that elector count is way too vulnerable. ditch the runefang, it´s good but VERY expensive. get a ward save or something similary protective. he´s going to need it.

shooting is good but the enemy will reach your lines sooner or later (preferably later ;) ) but when they do, there need to be some close combat troops there to give them a warm welcome. otherwise those crossbowmen will get hacked to pieces in short order.

Why only Crossbowmen? True, they're cheaper and have a longer rang ethan Handguns, but I think you'll find the extra strength and armour-piercing qualities of handguns more of a benefit at times.
But yeah, you definitely need more solid infantry units -- all you have now are the Flagellants, which, although good at holding up an enemy, are hardly that good in combat.
IMO, take a unit of Speamen or Swordsmen, and give them a detachment of Free Company to get in that vital flank counte-charge. You might have to ditch the Griffon or a few Cannons to do this, but trust me, causing terror and blowing stuff up is nothing compared to ensuring the durability of your lines.

I made some changes:

1) Captain is now on Pegasus, no magic items, just GW, FPA and shield
2) I dropped one crossbowman unit
3) White Wolves now count five, not nine models
4) There is a Halberdier unit of 16 which has a detachement of 5 Free Companies

I have not entered changes in the list yet, just in order not to change it too often since I predict there will be more things to be done.

Thanx anyway, looking forward for more advice.

BTW, I know how to use Count on Griffon, so I don't worry too much about his protection.
