Like it
or hate it, army selection is a major part of Warhammer. Some people
consider this a fun part of the hobby, and fiddle endlessly with
lists in their spare time. These people can produce a list at the
drop of a hat, which makes preparing for a game easier. Others find
the selection of an army an almost insurmountable hurdle; they don't
really know what they want in the army, and making a list without
even a vague direction in mind is an inefficient process, to say the
least. The problem is made worse when the player is hoping for the
list to be competitive, or knows that they're in for a tough game. I
know a few people who are capable enough players, but who find the
list selection step a real stumbling block.
