The Empire is the largest and most powerful realm in the Old World. Founded by the warrior-god Sigmar, it is built up of city-states and provinces that are now bound together under the rule of the Emperor Karl Franz. Only through the actions of its tireless citizens, valiant heroes and mighty war machines, has it repelled the numerous invasions brought against it. Though the pride of the nation is undoubtedly the cosmopolitan cities where the pinnacle of human achievements can be found, the discipline and martial skill of its professional armies are also rightfully famous throughout the Old World.
The Empire Battalion is the perfect way for a newly enlisted Empire General to start an army. It contains a large number of State Troops, a suitably impressive artillery piece and a unit of highly disciplined Knights to charge gloriously at the enemy. The Battalion is also a fantastic way for existing Generals with established moustaches to expand their Empire forces by adding more regiments and firepower.
This set contains 20 Empire State Troops (which include the option for a command group); 10 State Handgunners (which can alternatively be built as 10 Crossbowmen and includes the option for a command group); a Great Cannon and three crew members (which can alternatively be built as a Mortar); and 8 Empire Knights (which include the option for a command group). These miniature are supplied unpainted and require assembly - we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Paints.
