Ok so there is a GT coming up this summer and I want to make an army that will not get tabled consistently but is not a gun line or light council.

As for the core, I don't want to change it due to models painted based ect. I am up for any other suggestions.

Lord
Arch lector on war alter with Armor of destiny shield, dragon bane gem, tormentor sword-314

Wizard lord lvl4 of life with talisman of preservation-245

Heroes
Captain with bsb, FPA, enchanted shield and biting blade-101

witch hunter with brace of pistols and armor of meteoric iron-105

Wizard lvl1 shadow with scroll-90

Core
48 Halberdiers with FC-318

9 Halberdiers as a detachment lvl1 goes here-54

4 units of 10 archers, lvl4 goes with 1 unit behind the infantry block-280

Special
2 units of 3 demis with lances/shields-348

Reiksguard knights *5 with lances/shields/musician-145

Rare
2 steam tanks-500

Thanks for any comments, reason for the cheap magic weapons is because lore of undeath is in use therefore I expect a lot of ethereal chaff, as for the war alter I like the model, it isn't total trash in combat, its bound spell and buffs are good.

WELCOME TO THE EMPIRE! Land of eternal misery and cannon shots!

Taking a look at ya list, ya got a good start on! Mean Demi's and stanks around! I would say is to swap the AoMI to the BSB instead, and remove enchanted shield then! BSB gonna need those saves! ALSO, 10 man detatchments are old but don't put ya wizard in there, but them in another unit of archers, who should also skirmish! I'd say remove one 10 squad as 4 groups are a little over kill and you could do these: More knights and/or ruby ring of ruin! The ring of ruin BECAUSE THIS....Killing blow fireball from Wotch Hunter

-Make shadow lv4, I think, better buffs, sure regen is for but you got a fair bit already! And it's expensive
-Lv1 light or fire wizards can be fun!
-CANNONS. Blow those pesky lords and monsters away!
-Anf if you ever think, bare bones engineer with Helblaster fun, nasty thing that!

Good luck! You could consider cannon optional with all ya Stanks still!

A nice heavy hitting army.

Maybe a Warrior Priest instead of a witch hunter? Could be useful in that massive block of Halberdiers.

Ok so I got a game in using the above list against nurgle warriors with through and trolls, the end result was a draw (20pts in my favor). Was a tough game with a lot of swinging moments, though I know it was a huge help having lore of life for flesh to stone!

Congratulations I haven't tried Life really, but I always suspected it was a pricey sort that wouldn't work so well...But that is frankly fantastic that it works for your build Probs works so well with your stanks and demis beefing it up! Any issues as well during the game that could help you out with? (Ever fight trolls, cheapo LV1 fire wizard of ruby ring of ruin helps!)

I was able to hold the trolls up almost all game due to T8 Demi's, but I think I'm covered on anti refer with banishment from the alter and in combat from arch lector prayers, only this I wished I would have changed was deploying my tanks more defensively. I had them out to counter his crushers and they say there the whole game, while not a bad thing I could have used them against his nurgle chosen block with festus.

thanks for all your comments!
