Army Lists: How I go about it!

Hi, this post was origonaly posted on my space wolf blog but I thought it was suitable for here so. here is a copy and paste of the post:

When building a list I bear certain things in mind, here they are in steps:



The theme for the list (eg. Ragnar blackmane or mech marines or mortar gunline guard).

Style of list (eg. drop pods, flamers, meltaguns).

Tactics (eg. Drop down and then suicide attack or play conservatively before a last turn objective grab).

Depending on style either HQ or troops, for me generally HQ

Elites.

The other one out of HQ and Troops.

Anything else.

Tot up points.

Get list under the points limit.

look at list as a whole.Make any ammendmants.
Now, you may write lists differently or think my way is not very effective. So, tell us what you do and what you think of what I do!

Thanks for reading,

Jacob
