The name of the game is shoot! Unit still standing? Shoot 'em some more! Planning on using Lore of Life on the Wizard.

20 Spearmen (Regimental Unit)
10 Handgunners
10 Handgunners
10 Crossbowmen
10 Crossbowmen
2 Great Cannon
2 Hellblaster Volleygun
4 Master Engineers
Captain with a BSB
Lvl 4 Wizard Lord with Dispel Scroll

Play Tested against a WoC army. Most of them was shot to death before making my side. The block that did charge lost quite a few models to Support Fire. Most of the opponent's magic was dispelled.
Any thoughts? Comments? Please remember that this is shooty list.

Engineers are definitely required on the helblasters, but if you were looking to free up some points you could definitely drop the two on the cannons. They don't need the engineers as much to perform, though it is nice insurance for them.

I can see this list doing very well against elite armies that are coming at you, but against other shooty lists like wood elves, high elves, dark elves, even dwarfs, I don't think this will do very well. Most of your stuff has no armor save and is limited with 24" range. So longbows are going to mess you up something fierce. A steam tank would make a nice addition to the list. Outriders would be good, too. They're slightly mobile and have triple the firepower of a handgunner unit for not a whole lot more points.

Agreed. Some good changes would be pistoliers/ outriders a stank or two, and even a mortar/rocket battery for some hoard control (with a bit of luck of course). I think the spearman are worthless in blocks of less then fifty so you should make them hand gunners/ crossbow men. Lastly the two engineers on the cannons are not worth the points (increase of over 1/3 of the cannons cost) lastly a luminark of light wouldn't be half bad in this list with its bubble ward and magic bolt thrower.

I've been tinkering with the list a bit. I do agree that the spearmen aren't much help. Here's what I got currently
5 Pistoliers w/ Repeater Pistol Outrider
10 Handgunners
10 Handgunners
10 Crossbowmen
10 Crossbowmen
2 Great Cannon
1 Hellblaster Volleygun
1 Master Engineers
Lvl 4 Wizard Lord with Dispel Scroll & Channeling Staff on Luminark
1 Steam Tank

Since I have a life wizard, I can take the Luminark towards my Lord costs, so Steam Tank w/ Life wizard shenanigans can ensue.

So take a lvl3 wizard lord with light on a luminark with scroll,
Lvl 4 of life with talisman of 4++
a block of 20 handgunners 10x2 and the same with cbow men.

Then have a cannon on either side with the luminark behind for bubble ward.

The nice thing about a lvl3 of light is for pha's protecting helping you not die to ranged as much. Also it murders deamons.

good luck!
