[experiment 626]

characters;
- lose the shield and make your captain a BSB. especially against undead who can throw magic around like it's going out of fashion & cause fear to boot, having a magic banner such as a war banner or banner of arcane protection is dead handy!

- add in a warrior priest w/great weapon, icon of magnus & armour of meteoric iron for your general. hatred is nice and will help tip the balance as again, combat res will be what you need to aim for...

units:
- if you want to give missile detachments to units, go for 5-6 archers. place them out front as a skirmish screen which will also help block any magic missiles! when the enemy charge, flee! as they're only detachments, the rest of your infantry won't care about them running off!
your combatty detachments should be arranged into a 3x3 formation... again, your goal is to simply remove the enemy's ranks & get the +1 flank bonus. empire infantry are good and squishy! you don't typically win combats by killing stuff so aim for maxing out your combat res potential.

overall i nice solid infantry force! the addition of a priest will turn those swordsmen into a great fighting unit though thanks to his re-rolls for hatred... the important thing will be getting the charge as undead typically have poor WS, thus you can generally hit on 3's & wound on 4's.

cheers!
