I’m just back from my game against the Empire and unfortunately for myself I lost. By turn 4 things seemed to be going in my favour, in fact I was dominating most of the battle. The battle shifted when both my Big Un’s and Chaos Dwarf warriors with general were run down and killed by his unit of 20 strong swordsmen with a ten strong detachment.
Good Points:
•Having both units of his knights with general flee of the table due to hobgoblin fire by turn 3. The bolt throwers also managed to kill off a few swordsmen and hand gunners.
• Preventing his Mortal and cannon firing for two rounds with my Earthshaker. I also managed to destroy his Mortar with my Earthshaker, his cannon misfired and destroyed itself by turn 3.
• Firing into his Flagellants and killing over half the unit in one shot.
• My level one sorcerer dispelling every spell he cast including his spells which were automatically cast.
• A hobgoblin bolt thrower crew holding up a unit of twenty State troops for two turns and then out running them.
Bad Points:
• His Flagellants charging into my wolf riders and destroying the entire unit apart from the BC hero and the standard in one turn due to the Flagellants suffering from both hatred and frenzy. This resulted in them fleeing off the table and creating a panic test for the blunderbusses.
• The unit of Flagellants killing one of my bolt throwers alongside its crew and then over running into my Earhshaker crew and killing them.
• His unit of twenty strong Empire state troops with detachment killing both my big Un’s and chaos dwarf warriors.
I’ve leaned that even though my army list consisted of solid troops with little weaknesses, I still need to use some units that are disposable. In the future Im going to use a lot of disposable troops such as hobgoblins to support stronger units such as Chaos Dwarf warriors, Big Un’s etc..
Hobgoblin Bolt throwers are definitely worth their points cost. In most cases your opponent will become fixated on them because of the damage they cause. :0
Oh and never ever give hobgoblin wolf riders a standard its just like handing victory points over to your opponent...
I'm still kinda annoyed at the fact I lost tonight, I cant really see where I went wrong....
I’ve just entered the tournament at my club and surprise I’ve been put up against one of the most experienced players of the club. The tournament consists of 10 different players who each field a 2250 Point army list and are randomly put against each other. 
I'm going to be playing 1500 points of Empire tomorrow night against one of the top players at the club. I somehow managed to defeat a Dwarf player last week due to my list and tactics, I feel this time around I’m going to have to do a little bit more than just stand and shoot... 
His list is an expansion of the list stated below..I beleive this time around hes also using two mortars and 15-20 Flagellants:0
