The Best 1000 point army (General Themed)

Ok, i know it is huge, but when we play, we play. The game has to be big enough to make bragging rights last at least 15 days. So, that being said, what is the best 1000 point army using only one general. We are talking about 48 hex starting spaces, but don't let that limit your imagination. Anytime we need more, we just put some 7 hexs on the back of our starting spots.

I have two good 1000 point armies, orcs, and elves and vipers. However, I have heard glady-blasty strategies rock this way.
I'll will put them up once I have perfected them. (not that they aren't already.) >

Elves and Vipers:

Master Win Chiu Woo 140
Sonlen 160
Venoc Warlord 120
Syvarris 100
Elite Onyx Vipers 100
Aubrien Archers x2 140
Armoc Vipers x2 130
Deadeye Dan 60
Theracus 40
__________________
990 Points


Orcs

Krug 120
Grimnak 120
Tornak 100
Ornak 100
Heavy Gruts x3 210
Nerak 50
Arrow Gruts x2 80
Blade Gruts x3 120
Swogs x4 100
_______________
1000 Points


While the orcs have been better for me, I still like the elves more.

It all depends on how many starting spaces we are talking about, but I'm a big fan of Jandar, so here's my Jandar-based army:

Raelin RotV - 80
Knights of Weston x3 - 230
Sentinels of Jandar x2 - 450
4th Massachusetts x2 - 590
Sir Gilbert - 700
Sir Denrick - 800
Alastair MacDirk - 910
Thorgrim - 990

Pretty decent... lot's of choices of Human Champions to choose from. Not much range though other than 4th Massachusetts.

Here's another one I like:

Raelin RotV - 80
Niflheim - 265
Knights of Weston x4 - 465
4th Massachusetts x3 - 675
Sir Gilbert - 785
Sir Denrick - 885
Alastair MacDirk - 995

Provides a bit more range. Not sure how many units you have, but both of these armies seem pretty strong.

I like Jandar, but whenever I play a big game, I just have to play Ornak.

Krug 120
3x Arrow Gruts 240
4x Swog Rider 340
Mimring 490
3x Heavy Gruts 700
Grimnak 820
Ornak 920
Nerak 970
Marcu 990
Isamu 1000

This one (or perhaps adjusting a few things or removing the Arrow Gruts to squeeze in a DW or Cyprien) is one of my favorite armies to play. Ornak really helps a crazy army like this remain cohesive.

Knights of Weston x 12 - 840

Who needs range?
I still need a few more squads of knights to pull this one off.

Some awesome Jandar and Utgar armies above. I have to say that I think FOUR is about the upper limit for the number of commons of any given army I would allow in a friendly game. The 5xBlast/5xGlad army above is just plain mean

I've always had a special place in my heart for Ullar. Perhaps:

Sonlen 160
Venoc Warlord 120
Kyntela Gwyn 20
Armoc Vipersx4 260
Venoc Vipersx4 160
Aubrien Archersx4 280

Wow... *virtual slap to hand*.

Too many rats. This army would get swallowed whole by Cyprein Esenwien.
