Female Empire BattleWizard?

For my Empire army i am planning on having a Female as my Battle Wizard. Looking at the army book it doesn't say anything about this. but do you think it could happen? Fluff wise she is the wife of my captain (1,000pt general) and the sister of my Grand Master (2,000pt general).

Sure it can work. The empire has no laws about who is allowed to be a sorcerer and who isn't (at least none that would stop a female from being a wizard). In the latest Gotrek and Felix book (Elfslayer) there is a female seeress who is also capable of casting spells. And the brettonians have damsels (technically not empire, but similar enough to imply that there would be female wizards in the empire, I'd say). And brettonian damsels on foot are beautiful models, so why not use them?

HUZZAH!

The brettonian damsels in the old fluff were trained in the colleges of magic, it's just changed since the last edition or two.

hey thanks. I was using a Lahmien vampire to reprsent a female mage but i find no matter how i paint her she still looks like a vampire. I bought the empire wizard box to make a necromancer and looked at maybe giving her one of those collar things but immedatiely decided against it because it made her look to vampirey. I'll probably take your advice and get a damsel model, even though fluff wise she did have short hair and a cat (the main reasons i got the vampire model) but fluff can change.

No reason why she can't be a vampire either. There are lots of lawful vampires in the empire. There is a whole pile of books on one who's name I've forgotten.

Great books from rather early days of Warhammer (3rd edition perhaps?)
