Core

Rafael's Risplendente
(28 Ricco's Republicans)

Solid Block of Pike, the best option from the RoR. Their heavy armour and large numbers should mean that they get a nice rank bonus. Also includes Ricco, so they might kill something.

Not much to be said here, excellent pistol-wielding lads

(9 Duellists)
Pistols

Heavy Armour, Full Command, War Banner.

A lot of people don't like these, but I find them to be a solid unit. Heavy armoured, stubborn halberdiers? excellent unit.

Hurbalgo's Brutales
(4 Ogres)
Great Weapons, Light Armour, Standard Bearer, Champion.
196

A little bit of hired muscle

General sniping

So there we have my 2250 point list, I use it for friendly games and I get varying degrees of success.

The infantry units hold the centre, able to take on any rank and file thrown at me. The general and his leadership should be able to get over those fear tests.
Nice list, love the names too, nice and fluffy.

Any background to them? And the army as a whole fluff wise? (i'm a sucker for that kind of thing, as you know)
Ah well, this is the Black Company in their newest incarnation. Because they are soon to come to a sticky end Big Grin.

I am yet to build up some fluff about them, but i'm leaning towards the Duce of Viadaza.
ahh, the soon to be massacred and crucified from Steingart to Domzale Black Company Wink
