Kurt Helborg

[Sgt. Giggle Mittens]

I hope we get some more empire lords in a minor FREELC soon, would be nice to have Kurt Helborg, the reichmarshal of the empire. I realize he is not extremely notable or special, but his armor is awesome and hes the leader of the entire armies of the empire. little additions like this would be nice.

Yes, seems a little odd not to have the leader of the army present. I don't know the lore very well. How often does the Emporer take personal command because he's the only one I use in my campaigns.

The Empire already has 3 LLs plus Todbringer, while TWW2 factions only have 2. If anything, they should be adding LLs for new factions.

Vampires have 5.

Orcs have 5

Dwarves have 5

empire has 3.

Wood elves 2

Britonnia 3.

Its not to much to ask for the empire to get 1 more along with wood elves 2 more and britonnia 1 more.

Boris is in the game with a unique model. You can play him w/ faction unlocker. You don't get any of the cool LL stuff like quests or a unique skill tree, though.

What makes Boris special or more interesting than, say, Katarina the Ice Queen?

I'm left with the weird suspicion that we don't have Helborg, because we can post anyone to his office. But, that just seems whacky. Especially given you can already put Gelt and Volkmar into other offices (in addition to their official ones).

In theory, Empire should also have Helborg (Reikmarshal), Schwarzhelm (Emperor's Champion), and Luther Huss.

Also, Marius Leitdorf (Averland's Elector Count) should be an LL as well, like Todbringer.

For most races, "more legendary lords," isn't nearly as critical, but because of how Imperial Offices work, they end up starved for LLs far more than any other faction.

Just the part where he's an Elector Count. I'd honestly say he's one of the less interesting Electors.

Like what, what does the empire have? a basic unit roster and 3 lords.

Nor will it ever help you get a personality and a girlfriend.

Leitdorf is a must if they ever expand the empires selection.

The guy was a legend in his own right.

Pretty commonly actually, but Helborg gets sent out just as often.

Yeah, that's a Warhammer thing. 40k is the same way. Most of the major figures spend a lot of time out, in the field, fighting.

There are a few exceptions. Vlad von Carstein doesn't head out much now, but that's because (outside of TWW) he's faking his own death and letting Mannfred and Isabella cover for him. (Actually, IIRC, Mannfred thinks he's dead.)

40k's Emperor doesn't, but that's because he's been on life support for 10k years. Also a lot of the Primarchs are missing or dead, so that cuts them off from 40k.

Also, the part where major warlords will storm into melee is, in fact, consistent with Warhammer. So, yeah, no, this is part of the setting.

Vlad is actually dead, as is Isabella. He's been dead for several hundred years.
