The Empire Keywords

[MrCharisma]

I need the collective wisdom of TGA to solve my problem. 

I'm recently come into possession of The Empire's Markus Wulfhart which I'm hoping to build into a tournament list. 

The issue I'm having is that one of his rules impacts a chosen unit of "Empire Archers". There are no Empire Archers in the AoS app, or points assigned under The Generals Handbook, and can only be found as one of the pdf. warscrolls for the WHFB conversion for Bretonnia, Tomb Kings, Wood Elves, etc.

The Empire pdf has listed Empire Archers but contained the keyword "Free Peoples" as well as "Empire Archers".

So... would be fair to assume that;

• Empire Archers = Free People Archers, OR;
• Empire Archers cost the same points as Free People Archers (the stats and rules are exactly the same), OR;
• I just can't use the special rule

Side Note: a lot of the Free People warscrolls still have legacy of The Empire 

What do you guys think? I want to get some more info before reaching out to the TO

I think this falls into the same catagory as the state troop detachment, where even though the detachment is pointed non of the units within it are pointed therefore Tourneys  won't allow you to use it like cancon for instance .

Going with the recent FAQ I (unfortunately) would say your option 3.

But make the list and talk it over with the tournament organizer.
