I thought I'd knock up a list utilising the new force organisation of 8th Ed to its fullest to make an Empire gunline. Here's the List:
LORDS 310
Amethyst Wizard Lord: Lvl 4: Rod of Power, White Cloak, Van Horstmanns Speculum, Pidgeon Plucker Pendant 310
HEROES 325
Bright Wizard: Lvl 1: Fireball 65
Bright Wizard: Lvl 1: Fireball 65
Bright Wizard: Lvl 1: Fireball 65
Engineer: 65
Engineer: 65
CORE 640
20 Hangunners: 160
20 Hangunners: 160
20 Hangunners: 160
20 Hangunners: 160
SPECIAL 525
3 x Great Cannon 300
3 x Mortar 225
RARE 450
2 x Hellstorm Rocket Battery 230
2 x Hellbaster Volley Gun 220
Total: 2250
Not convinced it'd be great but my god is that a lot of fire power. Supliamented by the rain of fireballs and then the Amethyst Wizard should kick in when the enemy are close. I'd probably win or lose in 2-3 turns each game. what does everyone think? More Engineers perhaps?

fun for who? in all seriousness lists like this might seem fun to play with but they are not.
plus there is a scenario in 8th that basiclly requires you to take standards.

I could always chuck commands or at least standards into the Handgunner regiments?

Looks like a "line-up and throw dice" army. Not exactly sure how that's really any fun.

If you are going to go with this i think you want to throw in some outriders with a hochland, bs5 hochland always seems to hurt peoples wizards.

Shooting with no BS is better than shooting with BS4.
Shooting with BS4 is better than BS3.
80 handgunners? ...
In 8th, "gunline" armies can run well.
"Handgun"-line-army, can not.

Hand gunners aren't the gunline the artillery and Wizards are. Handgunners are just making up the numbers and adding supporting fire.
