A steamtank in Albion?!!, thats a little harsh isn't it. Plus it just wouldn't be practical where fluff is concerned. Still if you want both a steamtank and dark emmisary (boo hiss, very beardy  ) You can take him as a dogs of war unit so he would be a rare choice. Very shooty and heavily focussed on black powder, not the best idea of you really want to set it in Albion , mainly due to the weather rules. I'd drop a handgunner squad and have some small free company detatchments for the spearmen. This is because no matter how much shooting power you pack into an army it will never be enough in Fantasy (not like 40K), therefore i'd lose a little and try to add a bit to your defensive combat units as the enemy will ALWAYS hit home. You could perhaps also do with a unit to slow down the enemy, maybe lose a cannon and get a captain on pegasus, or get a unit of pistoliers. As stopping the enemy marching for a while (even just parts of their force) will allow you to position your defensive combat units best and get some extra shooting in. |

The thing is a steam tank did go to Albion featured in a white dwarf ages ago Von Metkiofs or something. Anyway i can't have any horses that would be cheesey even though a steam tank and a unit of pistolers can destroy an entire army.
However only 520 is spent on shooting not mcuh really but i have used the battle captain on pegasus before an they are so useful sometimes i drop the greatswords for normal swordsmen and a batlle captain on pegasus. Although you are right stopping ppl is first on the list. I do have 5 huntsmen but i didn't list it there they are always useful for stoping units.
