havnt checked the second but in the first your fw squads are too small and your commander is too expensive, will add more later

[::ËternaĺŇovice::]

I prefer the second squad, the first squad contains too few Fire Warriors per squad, making them easier to be wiped out. The second list is also more effective due to the dual Hammerheads, which are effective in larger games such as 1500. Might want too see if the Pathfinders will work, they tend too be unstable. I'll look through it some more later, but this gives you a general idea.
