So. After 13 years my warriors has yet again seen daylight. I have brought them up from their hiding place in the basement and started working on a list to beat friends armies that has emerged from the dusty boxes of the their storage tomb.

Since I havent been around since the 4-5th ed, where monsters could soar high with highflying rules, you will understand me for being a bit rusty.

This is the list I have composed after a few weeks of randomnly browsing the web.

I believe the list to be decent enough to bring it to other rusty generals like myself, but I still want to get a feel for it. Is it ok? If not, what should I change or what would you change?

I have been reading up on tactics. I understand some basic tactics but to actually be able to execute them when necessary is not that likely. My goal with this list would of course be to get the chosenstar as soon as possible, and after that I would think a general march with the whole army and trying to deny flanks with the shrines and good placement. The dogs is a meat shield. The marauders are there to die and take stuff with them. I do feel that I will have a problem with faster moving enemys. I am a bit scared because I know that my friends will be playing Ogre Kingdom, Dwarfs, and Tomb Kings. Perhaps I will face off with some wood elves also. The Ogres have their movement and impact hits which could hurt me bad, the dwarfs have their guns. I am not enough well read on Tomb Kings to know what I am facing and wood elves will probably try to run around and shoot me whilst avoiding combat.

Should I face this in some other manner or is the list I have composed fit for the job?

Not a bad list.
You also seem to have your tactics hammered out, I'd run it basically as is.
The only thing I'd change is dropping the 2nd shrine for more Chosen.
12 aren’t a lot when going against Empire/Dwarf/WE gun lines.

OK, so this list is about as lean as you can get at this points level, for a friendly game maybe a little too lean. You might want to add a fun unit or two instead of some of your heavy hitters, it'll be a little more fun for the both of you.
