	* '''Karl Franz:'''		* '''Karl Franz:''' The Emperor of the Empire, it may ride a Griffon into battle, and it may use either his runic fang or the warhammer of WARHAMMER.
	* '''Valten:'''		* '''Valten:'''
	* '''Luthor Huss:'''		* '''Luthor Huss:'''
	* '''Balthasar Gelt:''' The Supreme Patriarch of Altdorf Colleges of Magic (or Vietstalia war veteran, depending on whom you ask). Balthasar Gelt is lvl 4 wizard and knows all lore of metal spells so you don't have to roll for them. Gelt rides to battle on top of his pegasus and posses 3 (technically 4) magical items to aid him in battle. 1st one is Al-kahest (which actually isn't listed as magic item but as his special rules) Gelt can either throw it in shooting phase as if he was throwing knives. This attack has range of 6", wounds EVERYTHING (ethereal creatures and war machines too) on 4+ and allows for no armour saves or you can make Balthasar drink it instead, which restores 1 wound to him or his mount. 2nd one is Staff of Volans, it allows Gelt to change one of dices from casting/dispelling roll to be 1 number higher, meaning that Gelt can roll irresistible force on 5-6 (you change 5 to 6) and requires 3 one's at least to roll a miscast making him much more reliable wizard. His 3rd magical item is Gleaming Robe which gives Gelt and his mount 3+ ward save against any ranged attacks (templates and magic missiles included) and 4th item is Amulet of Sea Gold which pretty much gives them both magic resistance 1. All of that for 450 points which may seem a lot, but fully kited out Wizard lord on pegasus would cost you 360 points so not that big of a difference. Gelt if you can position him well can be a nightmare to deal with thanks to his survivability and is very reliable wizard. ~~Definetly~~ one of the better one's in game and one of better named characters in general.		* '''Balthasar Gelt:''' The Supreme Patriarch of Altdorf Colleges of Magic (or Vietstalia war veteran, depending on whom you ask).

Definitely one of the better one's in game and one of better named characters in general.
	* '''Boris Todbringer:'''		* '''Boris Todbringer:'''
	* '''Valmir von Raukov:'''		* '''Valmir von Raukov:'''
	* '''Volkmar the Grim:'''		* '''Volkmar the Grim:''' The ''Papamobile'' that creates a bubble of Immune to Psychology to all the units in 12", except that they will hate Skaven, Undead and Chaos. Combine it with the ''Greatswords'' (who are ''Stubborn'') and you get the definitive bane of the undead.

	==Why play The Empire?==		==Why play The Empire?==
	The army of the Empire is easily the most versatile army of the whole game. The Empire can field full magic list of 12 power dice and some bounds AND take along four great cannons and two helblasters in 2000 points game (without any magic items one level 4 wizard, three level 2 wizards, four cannons and two helblasters is 1145 points). Or you can field full knight army. Or whatever you ever want. On the contrary, imperial troops are not as fast as elves, not as tought as ogres, not as numerous as skaven, not as killy as chaos etc. but in the Empire army can always be found something against every opponent.

	* '''Helblaster Volley Gun:''' The main question about this machine is: Is the misf.. sorry the artillery die your friend? Can be extremely effective or can blow up instantly. The problem with it is that it rolls 3 artillery dices and you cannot re-roll them with your engineer hero meaning that it's a bit dicey unit. I personally wouldn't bother taking it, unless I have heavens wizard in my army for that sweet d3 d6 re-rolls. Unfortunately Second Sign of Amul doesn't allow the player to re-roll the artillery die (it is unambiguosly D6, not any special die allowed to re-roll) but re-rolling the die on the misfire chart could easily be even better.		* '''Helblaster Volley Gun:''' The main question about this machine is: Is the misf.. sorry the artillery die your friend?
