2x30 Halberdiers 150p
10 Archers 80p

=234p
x2=468p

=2458p, leaving 40p for magic items.

This is an attempt to make an empire army that is not a gunline. Given time i could make this way better.

Archlector hangs out with the halberd block with detachments.
Warrior priest with knights.
Giving 3 prayers and 3 extra DD, which makes up for the lack of a second caster. 4+ ward, unbreakable halberds seems choicec

Captain also goes with halberd block.
Pegasus runs around by the opposition caster and and tries his luck. Also picks out warmachines, flankers, skirmishers...


Pistol   Knights            Archers       Archers               Captacus    Pistol
                               Halberd  Halberd Halberd
                    
                      Warmachines  Halberd detach


I think i have an overinvestment in knights. Drop the warrior priest, inner circle and the size down to 12. It should be used to hit a flank hard and break steadfast. Then i could take maybe a second caster and a couple more detachments/sacrifice blocks
