Zitat:
Detatchments are still in the army book, despite rumours to the contrary. Rejoyce!
(note that I don't know how much the rules have changed, if at all)
Pigeon Bombs are indeed in the book and not particularly powerful. Think of them more as a fun addition.
Clockwork Horses give the rider a 2+ armour save, not +2 as stated previously. There will be at least two new Engineer models, with various equipment.
Pisoliers can be upgraded to Outriders, who all have either Repeater Pistols or Repeater Handguns (as in 5th edition).
The pistoliers themselves are cool. They have plate armour but it's light plate looking, mainly leggings. They have heavy dust coats which make them look cowboyish but they have empire-style helmets.
The greanade launcher is like a bucket with a spiked ball loaded on the end of a pistol. The leader also has a pistol-sword type weapon which counts as a handweapon. They look very historical actually and extremely cool. They are in full gallop and the repeater guns and all the weaponry looks more refined and neat.
They may have had the option for barding.
The Dragon is a specific dragon, from the Imperial Zoo, and severaly limited in when you can take it.
The Empire General plastic kit includes options for a Battle Standard with several options, including the Morr one described by Harry. Armour looks very historically correct.
All of the new Empire units look like they would hurt anything they charged. Kurt Helborg especially is in full gallop with the Runefang now as big as a greatsword held forward - screaming his charge like the pic in the old army book. The new minis all have action poses instead of the "stately trot" of the older models.
Volkmar still has his War Altar.
The Steam Tank now works like a mix of the 5th and the 6th edition rule sets.
All the history for orcs and the Empire in new books is set after the Storm of Chaos.[/b]
