http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/93.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Just to preface; I've been flitting between armies buying box sets I like and painting them up for the past six years or so and have finally, funds allowing, decided to get organised and get a 2500 point empire list going. I can't say I've ever looked towards Warhammer from a gaming aspect before so any advice and tips are widely appreciated. I've tried to do a bit of reading prior to getting a list together and getting some critique. I appreciate I'm not at my point target, I've left 125 points free for people to suggest fillers, my first jump was a Helblaster Volley Gun or one of the wagons to fill the gap.

Another point to note is that I already own some of the models on the list; Steam Tank, 40 Halberdiers, 3 Demigryphs, 20 Handgunners, Hero/Lord choices and a few other assorted bits and bobs on top of that. I'm personally willing to drop/adopt as would be appropriate as most I'll paint for pleasure regardless.

Thanks for any advice.

Have you considered the Hurricanum though? I've tried it a few times and it was GREAT. Not sure if worth the points, but that, along with many Warrior Priests and Lore of Light buffs, helped my State Troops stand up to Chaos Warriors with ease. Worth looking into.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/457056/4434007.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/457056/4434007.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/457056/4434195.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/457056/4434195.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/457056/4459786.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/457056/4459786.page GMT
