does anyone have a good list to start off with as i think i'll start de when i get the money

More info please.

Its impossible to help you unless you provide more info. Things like how long have you been playing Warhammer. What expereinces have you got of wargamming, Play Style, points total, units you like/don't like etc...

Without more info its impossible to advise you properly.

ok then i like to attack rather than defend i like a little magic and some war/mage machine hunting

Okay then. I won't make a list for you, but it looks like you need Sorceresses, cavalry (Cold One Knights or Dark Riders), offensive infantry (like Executioners), flyers (like Harpies or big winged monsters), scouts (Shades) and long-ranged shooting (one RBT or two).

how many points would a
sorceress,8 dark riders,16 rxbowmen,16 spearmen and 12 witch elves be about (don't have army book) seen as i mainly play 1k games
