Been working and tweaking on my tourney list for Saturday. And the irony is high.
For me a perfect army, if I could make it competitive, might have 2 or at most 3 characters; General, BSB, and if he had a chance of being effective, a magic user. The rest would be spent on units, units, units.
Big blocks of infantry. Couple units of Knights.
And I find that to deal with everything I expect to need to deal with...nasty magic from a couple armies, nasty monsters from a couple armies, mass shooting from a couple armies, and an unfortunate number of weapons that nullify my good stuff, I find to build something I think will be effective...I need to max out my characters.
Which I don't want to do.
*sigh*
What to do, what to do...will it just be a long afternoon if I go all units? Looks like we might find out
Imperial Guard get their first run

Took what will eventually be my Cadian 317th Regiment "The Lost and
Forlorn" out for their first game last night. Went up against a fun

I don't think you have to even consider whether or not a single magic user (or even 2) would be effective... O.O
General (assuming engine of death h2h oriented) and BSB on the other hand, pretty much guaranteed to fulfill their roles ^^
yeah, but you know how I love magic. It just seldom works out for me,...though when it does...spectacular! Like the half unit of Chaos Warriors that disappeared to the infernal gateway...
I think I finalized my list. Not saying it was a lot of work...chaos Warriors in, out, half unit, full unit...3 20+ units of marauders in, out, in, out, in...Chaos Spawn in...in...in...out. 2 units of Knights. none. 1 of 10, 1 of 5, 2 of ten, none, in, out, in...grr.
Should be fun army to play, and I have no idea how effective it will be.

If you can tell me what that means I will gladly put up a productive( or maybe not) reply.
Found this while mindlessly surfing the Internet. Pretty funny in my opinion.

basically, it means I kept adjusting my list trying for the perfect balance; something that can deal with monster heavy or war machine heavy lists while still being weak enough that goblin/ogre type armies will still feel like they were competitive. Trying to fit in basic units but still have stuff I want to play.
As usual, my goal is ultimately 3 draws but more realistically, one win, one loss, one draw, hopefully none by massacre.
that was indeed a great link. check some others, you may find the answer to your question :-)
