Ok so I'm doing an Empire Army and the background is that it is pretty much a mercenary army retained by a mysteriously wealthy Border Prince. So schemes wise its anything goes but the overall style I want is one of Spanish Conquistadors and Pistoliers, LOTS of Pistoliers!
So I'd like some help in making a list that has at least 20 Pistoliers in it, no knights except maybe for a token unit modeled like heavy cavalry to fit in with the theme and state troops would be mainly halberdiers and at most 1 unit of swordsmen. I also love war machines but they're secondary.
Advice anyone?
Also not afraid to go large on this army to fit in all the toys... competitive but flavoursome.
