Thread: Viability of an all mounted army

    Viability of an all mounted army

    So with the new empire book out ive been running through some ideas and one i came up with was a possible all mounted army.

    Characters all mounted on what ever suits the best e.g wizard wagons / barded horses etc.

    Core mainly knights and IC knights.

    Special reiksguard knights and the new demigriph knights.

    Possibly include war machines and the back supporting them.

    Im only new to fantasy so im not sure how viable a list like this would be?

    It's good until you roll a 6 for scenario selection.

    So a team of archers/hunters would be good. Cannon or two. Hurricanium would make much easier combats. And Lvl4/haevens on a barded warhorse
    Finecast is like a watch from Armani - very expensive and waterproof.

    There have been so many threads with the same subject, even same thread title mate. Post this is tactics, anyway.

    Having said that, I'd love an all mounted army (an all mounted battle, I remember being suggested in White Dwarf, would be great fun). I would always add a unit or so of 20 infantry and perhaps a character on foot, however. Even if it's just for scenarios like watchtower and the like. Otherwise, I'd use the army just against mates or when you know the scenario.

    In an Empire army, a unit or two of flagellants could represent the nutters following the army, perhaps even without the main army wanting them Same goes for free company, they could be townsfolk. Even a unit of greatswords or state troops could be the local garrison for the watchtower scenario, or any battle where you are playing with one of GW's 67 tower models
