Hello all,

The Old World has brought me back after not playing since 6th/7th edition.  Using the current miniatures I own I put together a 2000pt list and looking to get some input.  For context, I have no experience with playing this edition yet.

I am a big fan of infantry but it seems that the current edition does not favour an infantry centric play style.  My main concern is if I am utilizing my hero choices well.

For Heroes, I went with two level 4 Wizard Lords on Pegasi as based on research Wizard Lord on Pegasus is the way to go.  Figured I would take advantage of the low cost to get a Level 4 and have two of them.

Instead of having an Empire General on Imperial Griffon, I opted to have two Captains on basic Griffons.  One is BSB (War Banner) with Talisman of Protection and the other one is a barebones Captain.  I figured a General on Imperial Griffon will not be beating Heroes on Dragons so I decided that having two Capts on Griffons would work better at attacking flanks or weaker foes in general.  BSB can also fly two where it would be needed.  Great Cannons can focus on taking out the big nasties. Not sure if I should move the Talisman of Protection from the BSB and give it to the second Wizard Lord with the Ring of Ruin instead.

The Engineer would be with the Great Cannons.  Probably doesn't need the light armour.

For Core I went with a 24 block of Spearmen with shields.  Would be flanked by detachments of halberdiers (veterans) and handgunners.  Another unit of handgunners to stay with the Great Cannons.  Couple units of Archers for skirmishing. 

For Special, two Great Cannons to focus on the big things and a unit of Demigryph Knights as another damage dealer.

This one has no magic. The idea is that the witch hunter on peggy hunts down opponent's wizards. I'm interested in how well the prayers would do. I think they could be okay.

I'm considering replacing some of teh halberdier detachments with handgunner detachments but that makes it less mobile.

I always thought it was a pity those guys didnt come with bases. They make quite a unique little unit

Really nice troops!!!!

Love your style of mixing in the odd mini from here and there. Makes your units have a much more unique look. Its my main worry for GWs new way of doing things - the individuality starts to go away and things look more generic.
