Powerful Legendary Lords: The Empire has some of the best named characters in the game.

Cavalry: A very strong Cavalry faction, up there with the best (which kind of detracts form the whole 'Jack of all Trades' thing mentioned above) Empire Knights are amazing for their price, and Demigryphs can take on just about any other cav unit one on one and win.

They have an answer for just about every race in the game, and while they have some uphill match ups, they can get together a few lists against everyone/

Flexibility: As explained before, The Empire can bring a variety of tactics to the table, which can make them hard to predict.

Easy to Learn: One of the more straightforward armies out there.The Empire can be played in a variety of different ways that can be viable from gunlines to infantry brawls to skirmish tactics. Jack of all Trades: There's not a single department anyone can say you're bad in.Because the Karl Franz memes are too god damn good to not play them at least once.A difficult, but very rewarding playstlye that rewards unit cohesion and combined arms tactics.Because who doesn't love the sight of normal, everyday humans beating back the supernatural through sheer force of arms?.
