Oi, drengbarazi! Returning player here. I'm willing to resurrect Warhammer locally with tailored "house army lists".
After moving to the opposite side of the country and after the shock of End Times the hobby of mine went to hibernation mode. Lately I've noticed I miss the good ol' rank-and-file action in the Old World. So, I went through the heaps of old miniatures and got an idea to compile couple of house-lists for different factions. Hopefully I could lure some local active boardgamers to have a game of Warhammer with me every now and then.
I thought to make up multiple smallish ~1000-1500pts army lists, that should be as fluffy and fun to play against each other as possible. Competitiveness is not necessary, but the internal balance of the lists is the priority.
I'd like to write army lists for some or all of these factions:
Wood Elves - The main army of mine a decade ago. Basicly any list compostion is possible. Maybe even a forest spirit list and an elf list separately.
The Empire - A good thing about this faction is that Geedubs still seems to provide some Empire kits. And I've got plenty of them already.
Warriors of Khorne - This would be the most fluff-heavy faction. No magic allowed, (un)naturally. I wonder if I could design this list to be fun to play with, because I also have some magic heavy
Vampire Counts too. I'd like to build the vampire counts list around a necromancer of some sort.
Does this seem to be an unreasonable idea? Could it even be possible to design so many lists that would be fun to play against each other and being fluffy at the same time? I can't say for sure, because my earlier active gaming days were years ago and can't remember the rules and all the gimmicks too well anymore.
