...and none too soon I might add...

So, as mentioned a little ways back, the same evening that Kushial gifted a large contingent of Tau to my GF, Rob also handed me a pile of Empire sprues from an old army of his. It was kinda like Christmas, as we walked in the door and were both given presents! Digging thru the mountain o' parts, I was able to bolster my Army of Stirland considerably! Here's what I was able to muster from his leftovers:
 |
| I had purchased 10 assembled crossbowmen off of ebay just a day prior, and was able to give them a command group with the new bitz. |
 |
| 9 old edition starter box handgunners. 'Mediocre Engineer Nick Nolte' has since taken command of the unit. However any marksman-like skill he might have had, is negated by the inaccuracy of his blunderbuss. |
 |
| 11 spearmen, again from an old starter box set. These will form a detachment for my Great Swords. |
Also quite of the blue,
Necron Bob asked for my address and has since sent me a cannon and crew from the Skull Pass boxed set. These Dwarfs have no doubt gone mercenary, though using human stat lines, they've probably also gone 'soft' in the eyes of their brethren.
 |
| With the additions of a 50mm base, and some more bitz from the pile o' sprues from Rob, they'll not only fit right in with the army, but also be providing some much needed fire support. Now, I just need to scrounge around and see if I still have any artillery dice... |
With the new additions (and if I still spam Heroes) I can field up to 2k of the Empire. However
not wanting to go the spam route, I removed two of the filler characters. In doing so dropped the army total down to a more reasonable 1850 points. As such my Stirlanders and their new additions will be taking on
thebob's Nordlanders this coming Saturday at the FLGS.
