By Budmilka_fr, in Warhammer Invasion Deck Building

Hello,

Here is the decklist I played in the European Championship 2011, with whom I finished in 4th place.

Units :

3x Huntsmen
2x Glorious preceptor
3x Knights of the Inner Circle
3x Rodrik's Raiders
3x Friedrich Hemmler
2x Priest of Verena
2x Zealot Hunter
2x Skinks of Sotek
2x Pirates of Van Klumpf

Supports :

3x Contested Village
3x Derricksburg Forge
3x Warpstone Excavation
3x Church of Sigmar

Tactics :

3x Long Winter
3x Will of the Electors
3x Judgement of Verena
3x Iron discipline
2x Called Back
2x Call the reserves
3x Infiltrate

This deck made me a lot of problems on Stahleck Invasion. In swiss I lost 2:1 luckly in top4 I got my ancient debts repaid ;-)

It's far more dangerous for a RTF deck than other types of empire (so called "italian empire mirror deck") thanks to Inflitration and Van Klumpf. I really like it :)

Now that I've played against RTF decks (we scarcely play that in France), I think I would add in my Empire deck 2 copies of "My life for the Fort". If I'm correct, the sacrificed unit doesn't have to be a dwarf, so for a cost of 2 it is good (godd also against rush decks). I'll try it.

At first, I wanted to play Pirates with anything that might boost them (Hellblaster, Runefang...) to deal more damage everywhere. The problem what my first hand : having attachments at first is not good for a good start, so I've abandoned it.

The bucaneers with knights training and Griffon standard are very dangerous.

And Runefang. I'll try this in a knight deck I think.
