I have no idea what is good really, but from reading up a little about the game it seems armor is very overpriced and not really useful. Looking at the cost for armor and the fact one the cheapest weapons, Axes, reduce armor by one you really have to load up on armor or just skip it. To be able to parry and reroll parry with a buckler and shield seems good.
It's strange though that you will be able to parry more successful, the higher the WS is of your opponent... He will hit more often but it will be easier to parry it.
Anyways, this is the list I am starting out with:
Noble 70
Darksteel Sword 30
Buckler 5
Total 105
Sorceress 45
Sword 10
Total 55
Beastmaster 40
Beastlash 10
Spear 10
Total 60
3 Slavehounds 75
Shade 35
Axe 5
Repeater Crossbow 20
Total 60
Corsair 35
Spear 10
Total 45
Corsair 35
Spear 10
Total 45
Witch Elf 45
Halberd 10
Total 55
It seems like spears are good for troops with high initiative, and it's one handed...
This is my Noble, it's a Avatars of War Dark Elf hero, I figured just a Sword would be good for him and he's got a buckler strapped to his back.
A Corsair henchman, equipped with a spear.
A Shade with a Repeater Crossbow and an Axe, based on a leftover Dark Elf Assassin.
A Beastmaster with Beastlash and Spear, she is a bit small for my liking, but I think I'll paint her up and try her out, her small stature might make the Beasthounds look bigger.
A With Elf with a Halberd. It's a regular WHFB 6th ed Witch Elf, I the Halberd is actually a Dreg Halberd but I'm not sure. It seem to fit her well... THe proportions are nice.
So that's as far as I've gotten at the moment, we are starting up our campaign February 14th and I should have it all glued together by then, but I probably won't have painted much.
