Firehost of Eternal Night
Since the Firehost is very large, it usually splits up in many varied parts, though most of them have a typical composition. I rarely field an Avatar, nor Support units, nor Guardians. Lately I've been leaving out the Wraithguard, since discussions on the mailing list have led me to believe they are unbalancing in the hands of a good player. I field Aspect Warriors, where every squad is accompanied by an Exarch of their own shrine.
Typical 2000 point Warhost
Though Chris and I usually play between 2150 and 2750 points, I put together a 2000 point army, since that size is used a lot:

I attended a bullwhip handling seminar given by Gery L. Deer in Ann Arbor, organised by a friend of mine who had seen Gery perform at a local Science Fiction convention. Since I have practiced diligently and acquired two more whips: it is boatloads of fun!
I have been running my new game settings, based on my serial campaign concept,
as well as have complete websites: ShadowWorld Mainline, ShadowWorld WWII and Grand Design.
I am working on a new current day ShadowWorld setting, with a new, entirely different cosmology.

Underworld, though laying claim to prior use,
was renamed to ShadowWorld in the summer of 2002,
to avoid confusion with earlier published role playing games with same or similar names.
It was moved to its own website.
