Thank you for taking the time to read and any advice for me.

Drop the dwarfs TOO SLOW
WH are fun but dogs don0t get any experience

Mercenaris are cool and Average band but in the the end they 'll suck in melee

Take the ostlander are far more efficent and balanced,
The stongest warband IMHO are beastman and caos cultist

Long run, Dwarves are by far the best. In the long run, they can take on several warbands at a time.

If you go Reikland, definitely take the Swordsmen. The bonus to hit is far better than taking just a Warrior.

I like to build up a Youngblood with a Blunderbus as soon as I can. Their BS is poor anyway, so the auto-hit template really helps them out. Wouldn't bother with helmets or bucklers on them, give a helmet to your Captain instead

I like Reikland and Witch Hunters, but Reikland is probably better. Definitely don't take the Warriors - there's almost never any reason to, especially considering the difference in this list is only one model. I don't know anything about Dwarves, but I voted Reikland.
