Soon I will be collecting the models for my army. I have decided to start a tournament ready army first then build the fluffy one. This is what I came up with. I am trying to be hard without going overboard into beardy. I am not a stank fan especially now that they lack any variants (I loved the Sigmars Hammer) so I didn't bring one other than that any C&C is welcome.

Looks like a solid list apart from the hellstorms which are very inaccurate. They are fun in casual games certainly, but for a tourney list I'd rather take hellblaster and cannon instead for example (or even mortar).

Your seriously lacking magic defense, VC will crush you and any decent magic phase will still give you fits.

give the war gear on the BSB to the Warrior Priest, now your knights won't fail that all important charge against fear causers (trust me happens all the time, least to me)

I agree with dropping the hellstorm, just too inaccurate, dropping them would allow you to take another unit of knights and make each knight unit 6 strong for more staying power

Rod of power is nice in larger games but I like 2 scrolls for stopping that killer spell

switch the spearmen for more swordsmen, they're simply better at everything (I love my spearmen but am swapping them out (very slowly with my painting speed) for more swordsmen in my competitive lists)

Crossbows may be better as separate units with a musician attached

Just thoughts
