Games Workshop 99120202013" Warhammer Empire State Troops Action Figure

Product Information

So I figured if I was to add them (probably in the form of Mannan’s Blades mentioned above) it would be at a later stage in a detachment capacity – so they were a no for now.

Although it does look too big and heavy to lift, it is a special weapon so it could be a prototype or something. The cheapest way to draw attention is to exaggerate, because humans are naturally curious about odd things, the abnormal.I know i know, fantasy and all, but if some can use the ol Holy Roman Empire elite troops as examples of "how the empire should look", i can use actual historical reference as well. I always just skip the monkeyface and put some other head on instead and I also place the shoeless guys in the backrow. The Empire State Troops, valiant soldiers in gleaming plate mail, stand tall with pikes and shields. Those feverish souls ensnared in the wallet emptying cult of GW, are no doubt suspecting that I am being somewhat less than impartial.

I would make my own end piece by cutting a thin Perry pike into six or so short lengths and then glue them together in parallel to make the multi-barrelled gun. The short of it is Halberdiers are better the wider their formation is – and only against opponents that aren’t going to decimate you before you get to attack.

Fortunately, soldiers are apt to follow the unwritten rules and are usually too shrewd to draw their weapons. Another way to look at that is that only three of the torso types can easily (without cutting arms off) take a command option. Or women who paint their lips bright red, black out round their eyes and totter around on tippy toes. It gets a little worse because I intend to make a drummer and a banner bearer for both the Perry band and the GW band. The detachment forms up close to the main unit where it can offer support, either by using long range weapons such as bows or handguns, or by employing hand-to-hand weapons to threaten an advancing enemy's exposed flanks.

Detachments can also form reserves and attack enemy flanks or rear or even move off to another part of the battlefield. Once I have decided to make them all handgunners and give them a command there is hardly any other choices to make.The problem is Bogenhafen is very similar with a half white half purple uniform, so I figured by doing the same colours quartered and adding in the black armour and accessories it would provide enough of a difference for it to be distinct.

However there are a nearly even number of weapon options for the number of torsos, so the kit is less flexible. This box set contains 10 multi-part Empire State Troops, which can be assembled with spears, halberds or swords and includes options for a Champion, Standard Bearer and Musician.One of the most common types of infantry within the Empire, the Halbediers have proven time and again the effectiveness of their weapon, giving the Empire both offensive and defensive capabilities. I had a brilliant idea for making the repeater gun of my kitbashed engineer be a more sensible size.
