Empire can sometimes feel like it lacks in the gaming aspects. It really is the jack of all trades master of none faction It really is the historical gamer army. Like Guard with 40k. Thing to remember going into the army is that alot of your army will die before you win a game and no one unit will dominate a flank on its own without help. So much goes into effective deployment and have a game plan for your unit synergy. Hammer and Anvil is a big deal. And detachments help with this aspect to a degree As for aesthetics, Empire is beautifully customisable. Go absolute crazy with your faction theme and where they come from and the lore of your characters. Its very customisable. Im running my Empire in a Dogs of War style army. With Brettonian exile knights as my cav and a mix and match of different kits for my other units. Ill always love my Empire, they are my fav faction. Even if theyve always had some teething problems.

Some real problems for the empire "diversity" units. Archers have war bows with volley fire, but don't really need it due to skirmishing rules. Pistoliers have a 12" ranged attack, but a 14" impetuous charge range. Overall, morale for units is low. I lost game turn 2 due to low morale units. Very frustrating when you have low morale, low weapon skill and average stats for most everything. Ranged attack cannons and gunners failed to do much. So, you can do anything with regard to combinations, but none of them work.
I started my Empire after some time when 6th was released. I have other armies but my Empire army I am always getting back too.
I WANT to use lots of Empire infantry but good gracious does GW make it hard to love them.
I’ll never understand how my veteran state troops have less tools than a Brettonian peasant

The title of the video bothers me too much.
