new to this game- army list

[Manaphobic]

I have just bought my first pack of warhammer figures and are not entirely sure about the rules yet. Have to buy an army and so on and dont want to buy things that arent "allowed" in the army. like if i have to many or few of something.

This is the armylist I was thinking about for 1000 pts with the butcher as general ( becouse he looks cool, like from Diablo ^^ ) greatful for any thought on this.

- Hero -
General - 1 Butcher -  with ~48pts magic items

- Core -
8 Ironguts -

- Special -
4 Leadbelchers - with bellower
3 Maneaters -  with additional hand weapon

- Rare -
1 Ironblaster -


Models in Army: 17
Total Army Cost: 1000 pts

Edit- removed the cost for the units

Looks fairly solid, actually. You might want to obscure the individual point costs, because GW frowns on sharing that sort of thing. I'm also assuming you're paying for a Musician on your Leadbelchers (you should, by the way) - otherwise that point total is a bit off. One thing I would suggest is that you could give a bit more love to your Maneaters - give them an Ogre pistol (it counts as an additional hand weapon in combat, and lets you shoot as well), and heavy armor. I'd trim a few of the points you've set aside for your Butcher for that. Another consideration you should make is fielding that Butcher as a level 2 Wizard - he can take care of himself pretty well at this points total thanks to the Bloodgruel lore attribute, you should thus look for more opportunities to cast spells.

Not a bad start.  Perhaps add a musician and standard to the Ironguts, and a champion f you can afford it.  (Musicians are very useful rules wise, you'll want to add them, also standards have various advantages, especially for certain mission types).

This list will also be easy to build upon (such as by adding another character such as a butcher or tyrant for better leadership).

Oh, and welcome aboard. See you around the forums.
