I always wish HE chariots were better so it would make more sense to include them in my army list. I haven't really managed to get them to work for me, but maybe it's a case of bring a lot or don't bring any.
What kind of army lists do you have in mind?

Thanks Rod.
About the army list, it's a bit academic since I have no opportunity to play right now... although I could play against myself ( HE vs O&G or Dwarfs).
I read how some army lists evolved in a few of the glorious blogs pre-End of Times (Seredain, Curu Olannon, Swordmaster to name the longest running ones).
They were fascinating, quite inspiring. I have a couple of lists on my spreadsheet that draw from those blogs:

Tot special 544
2 RBT 140

There is some tweaking possible. All these armies are quite similar, based on SM and Helms, what varies is Phoenix yes/no.
I am curious about other builds too, perhaps with less cavalry and some WL's, or maybe with more flyers (I can have up to 3 eagles + a hero on eagle, phoenix and dragon). Also using a Loremaster instead of a Lvl 4 sounds interesting, either of them would probably go with the Swordmasters. It's difficult to say without having played any of them
