Decided to make a "colonial" empire build. No melee infantry, just gunpowder. The Hochland Riflemen acted as skirmishers. The Handgunners were the line infantry. The Ironsides were the grenadiers. The Pistolieers and Outriders were the dragoons. And the Free Company Militia were the... militia, the reserves. The tanks were the line breakers and the artillery remained the same. Yeah they wouldn't hold up in melee but if they were in melee then something went wrong.

That sounds so epic! I tried doing something similar but I had Free Company as my mainline and they didn’t quite work, I’ll have to try out your build thanks bro!

I’d love to see an updated/another version of your gunpowder formations video, especially with the new Empire and Dwarfs.

One very important thing about the long rifles is that they get one pen for each shot. Meaning they will shred anything that isn't sturdy enough.

Did you catch the ironsides when they were repeaters? Any notes on them?
@MalleusGaming574 ай бұрын
No my build had them with rifles from the start. I do kinda wish they had repeaters, but I think even in the tabletop lore they had regular rifles.
@samlambert47704 ай бұрын
A lot of empire rifles have poor base stat cards compared to contemporaries. But things like war wagons and especially long rifles have crazy accuracy. Against large lads or single heros/lords they tend to kill units rather than spray damage over multiple. Use them as an almost anti large unit and they perform much better

I've been hearing that War Wagons have been improved I definitely wanna look into them more since they seem like such an interesting unit! Cheers bro thanks for the tip!

Can the master engineer swap to the sniper rifle on his back? The thumbnail you used has him holding the sniper rifle.

From what I’ve seen so far no unfortunately, either he used to have one and that image is from an earlier build, or they gave him that for the trailer specifically
