In the Empire the Knights tend to be used as the striking part of the army (not as the entire army, as with Bretonnia!).

 Warhammer Strategies for The Empire   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Yet more than most armies, the empire takes more skill and tactics to play (in my opinion.) This is due to the fact that humans have a low leadership, they are not tough, very weak, slow moving (compared to elves and demons), and generally basic troopers.
The empire has not got anything fancy, at least not yet, and so the game is centered around tactics more than cunning.
There are ways to help your empire army, by using the most expensive and powerful magic items for instance, or getting allies, but this takes away from the fun of Warhammer.
