Old style shooter (2000 points) - army focused on shooting (2/0/3)
Theory - Shoot everything that moves. Only engage in HtH as last resort. Mages to provide backup for shooting, usually take one as a Grey, and the other as an Amyethest. Tyrion as specialist to kill nasty stuff. Watch out for enemy warmachines and fliers, they will chew you up.
Practice - This style army didn't usually work by itself. In two a side games it would provide good support, but generally the strength 3 bows just don't do enough damage. I used this style of army when I was first starting, and so results may be skewed as I was inexperienced in playing Warhammer at that time. This army list is dredged from memory, and was often tweaked each time, so is more a generic guideline, rather than an absolute list of what I used.
