Really depends on the army.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/264334/1098939.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/264334/1098939.page GMT
First, majority of your army should never be in characters. If you're playing a 2,000 point game, never should you be using 1,001 or more points in characters unless you're tourney-/power-playing and that's the most effective way to win.

Second: No one unit, on its own, should cost more than a significant fraction of your army's points, unless (see #1). Don't pay 900pts for a single unit in a 3,000 point game unless said unit is going to be wrecking everything in its path.

For an instance of my army lists, most of my 2K point armies field under 700pts in characters when I include a special character. When I don't, they're often under 600 or even 500. Similarly, none of my units cost more than 500pts (25%). I do not risk a single Infernal Gateway, -1 Leadership Panic Check, etc. throwing out a significant fraction of my army due to one (un)lucky roll. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/264334/1099281.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/264334/1099281.page GMT WoC army, I usually have around 500 points invested in the characters. A general, at around 220ish, a BSB at around the 150 mark and the scroll caddy at 135.

The other 250 could allow for a lot more in your list. Of course in the ideal gaming world you'd have access to unlimited troop types to field. But, 250 can give you 2 chariots, or roughly 3 M.Horseman units w/musician, axes and shields,or a couple of big Marauder Inf blocks, or a unit of warriors, or a unit of knights.

The units in WoC usually hit hard, so a few extra units forces your opponent to deal with a lot of counter charging. All your eggs in one basket, no matter how deathstar-ish, can lose it on CR. Once you lose that 1000 pt unit in a game, you tend never to do it again.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/264334/1099340.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/264334/1099340.page GMT VC army in the upcoming campaign, so competing with them on the magic front may be tough.
