To command an army requires the courage to send soldiers to what may be their deaths without doubt or hesitation. The armies of the Empire are led by warriors who have been trained to direct their forces as effortlessly as a swordsman wields a blade.

Of course, these commanders can differ in skill and bravery, with some like the ferocious Elector Count of Middenheim, Boris Todbringer, embodying the unwavering valour of Sigmar's folk. Others are effete fops, yet they still command men in battle thanks to their ancestral titles.

The new plastic Empire General boxed set is flexible enough to create a truly unique Lord or Hero for your Empire army. The following pages showcase several examples of what you can create using that box as a starting point.

We've also included some background information for each of these models that will help to inspire you in creating an interesting back story for your own Empire heroes.
