Okay after multiple re-writes and much vacillation over my army list I have plumped for the following
The Duchess, general of the Empire, Full plate, Shield of the Gorgon, Sword of Fate, VHS. Rides a Griffon.
My thinking is there is likley to be many powerful characters that will need assasinating and this is the lady to do it. Trouble is she has several weaknessess. She is rather vulnerable to ranged attacks, both normal and magicial. Against non characters She is only a Empire General on a crappy Griffon so unable to deal with the anything but small support units by herself. However the focus of the campaign seems to be heroic characters so I want someone able to go to to toe with Dragon riding Elves, demon prices and Might Chaos lords. (given a bit of luck she could take down a Star Dragon on the turn she charges
)
Walter Wizard, Staff and Scroll.
A favourite combo of mine. Gives me that extra dice of dispelling and allowes me to throw 4 dice at a big spell. Hopefully CONFLAGRATION OF DOOM!!!!
6 Knights of the Merchants Coin
19 Free company, full command
Well I need somewhere to put my wizard, not only that the Campaign rules give them +1 leadership
Glug-Glug the Giant of Albion.
Once again focusing on the fun aspect of the games. Potentialy brilliant, most likley +++removed by the inquisition+++, but always entertaining
1000 points on the nose.
The Duchess (as above)
Consort Bret Pegg, Captain of the Empire, Full plate, shield, Lance, Casket of Sorcery.
Supports the Duchess, trys to steal spells, and takest out war machines and the like.
Walter wizard, Rod, Barded steed (looks a lot like a lion

), biting blade.
Can't beat the rod for that versatile magic phase and what would you buy with seven points?
Brother Edwin, Warrior priest, heavy armour, barded steed, great weapon, Doomfire ring.
Adds a bound prayer and a bound spell and gives one unit of knights hatred.
6 Knights of the Merchants Coin, Full command
6 Knights of the Silvery moon, full command
10 Tilean Crossbowmen, marksmen
I needed a 3rd core choice
6 Pistoliers, musician, marksman with repeater handgun
5 Outriders, musician
Glug-Glug the Albion Giant
Steam Tank
A third large terror causing thing. The hope is with 3 coice targets 1 or, with luck, 2 of them will survive the enemy shooting and magic.
