Empire Army Idea

Hello all,

I had this really neat idea for a Pirate themed Empire Army (for WH Fantasy) earlier tonight and I thought I would share. The basic idea is that the Pirate Ship "Bloody Vengeance" is in Marienburg port when an Undead Army invades by ghost Ships. The Lords of Marienburg seal off the better parts of the city leaving the people of the docks quarter to fend for themselves.  Captain Jackaby of the Vengeance organizes a rag tag band of locals along with the local militia and supported by a unit of the city Governor's own Greatswords who refused to stand by and do nothing. 

Here is the list I came up with... (Using Army Builder)

Enjoy
