what should i do i want to start collecting fantasy i want an army with loads of fire-power and is still ok when it gets into close combat and thats that

Try dwarfs.

They have all sorts of shooty things and some powerful melee units.

Try High Elfs, Good archers, Great bolt Throwers, Nice magic, and you get silver helms and swordmasters.

Define firepower.

Cannons = Dwarfs

Line troops = Dwarfs

Mobile artillery = Stegadons and salamanders, wait for lizardmen book.

Hit and run = Wood Elfs

i would suggest dwarfs, (dwarves?), or empire with knights, artillary, and looads of handgunners

CCCHHHAAAOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!

It's Dwarfs

And I suggest them to you as well sir. Chaos has very little ranged ability, avoid them.

CCCHHAAAOOSSSSS???

Empire are a good option if, like me, you find the Dwarven form of warfare a little too dull. Not an east army to wield by any means, but I've always found them fun to use!

no they suck in ranged combat

I would suggest Lizardmen, just because the new models look awesome.

But, I guess Dwarves would probably be the way to go. Damn little guys taking all the Lizardman glory.....
