Finally decided on two armies (hopefully!)

Empire: (VEERRRRRYYYY fluffy. I'm aiming to have it moderately competitive and still fit my fluff, but not tailored to the point where it blows everything apart.)

HQ:

Warrior Priest
Great Weapon
Armour of Meteoric Iron
Warhorse
129 points

Battle Wizard
Dispel Scroll
85 points

Core:

10x Handgunners
80 points
10x Handgunners

Special:

Repeater Pistol
Musician

Rare:
Hellblaster Volleygun 110 points

Total: 591 points

Expansion to 1,000:

Empire Knights x5
Standard
131
(Warrior Priest goes in the Knights.)

10x Handgunners
80 points

Great Cannon
100 points

And the WOC list.

HQ:

Exalted Hero
Bloodcurdling Roar
130 points

Core:

Warriors of Chaos x12
Full Command

Chaos Warhounds x5

=1,000

These two armies will be facing each other a lot. Only other opponent ATM is a fairly diverse Wood Elf list.

So anyway, C&C welcome, but as both are very fluffy don't completely rip them apart...however if I'm doing something horribly wrong that'll cost me a game, of course let me know

If you are only comparing the two lists:

Empire wizard needs no scroll - WoC has no ability to cast.

WoC hero needs something - a stead would be nice to make best use of the roar. Buy this guy some sort of weapon - GW on foot; flail or shield on stead.

The expansion block for WoC should focus on speed - more knights or Marauder horsemen. The Empire list has nothing that can fight - no need for a 3rd block of warriors. You may even want to drop the hounds - their job is to either take quarters (which they can still do) or to serve as bait (the empire list has nothing to bait).

I would think about adding a BSB to the WoC list. Give the BSB a normal stead or a stead of slannash. With the BSB, he will be even CR against those handgun units. Should be able to roll up 3-4 of then over the course of the game.

I agree with Ran, those third warriors don't add anything that the list didn't already have. I would take those 205 points and pick up two horsemen units (5 w/ musician, flails, light armor), a musician for the knights and then put whatever is left into the exalted general. And one of those dog units could be ground up for more hero gear and/or marks (!) should you feel like it - 2x horsemen + 1x hounds is pretty solid light support.

On the empire, no comments besides that it makes me sad to see blockless empire

- Salvage

EDIT1: Just realized that your warriors have no weapon selected? Pretty sure you MUST choose one, which means +1 point for shields I'm guessing.

EDIT2:

*cough*couldn't-help-myself*cough*

H: Exalted - roar, biting blade, shield, chaos steed = 156

C: 12 Warriors - full command, shields = 222
C: 12 Warriors - standard, musician, shields = 210
C: 5 Horsemen - musician, flails, light armor = 86
C: 5 Horsemen - musician, flails, light armor = 86
C: 5 Warhounds = 30

S: Knights - musician = 210

I'm a big proponent of full command, but the champs in those baby warrior units are not doing a whole lot. Cut one to be able to afford some kit on the exalted, who now has a lot of options for cavorting around the battlefield (and screaming at people, sometimes while punching them in the face)
