To specialize your army in Warhammer Online is not too hard, but cannot be that easy as well. Many things are there for you to consider. Take for example, whether you want your army good at long range shooting like Tau-or or a close combat army like Orks. You can also make your army to your style of play without changing the actual army. For example, generally Chaos are in a close combat army. But it need not necessarily be the case; you can make a huge progress by dedicating it to Tzeentch, you can dominate the shooting phase against foes.

Eventually you may find that your army is big enough and that you want to go on to something else. This is, oddly enough, very important to mastering the art of Warhammer. If you have been collecting Brettonians for the past year or so and now have well over 2000 points, starting afresh with a completely different army can work wonders. During the time you have collected a balanced army of Brettonians, chances are you are used to a fast, heavy and very hitty army, backed by a fairly large number of peasants. You rarely outnumber your foe, but if you have a good balance of Knights and peasants you should find you are rarely outnumbered by more than 2-to-1, even by goblin or skaven hordes!

If you have changed to Dwarves, here's the thing for you. These are shooty dwarves, with as many guns as you can fit into, disregarding the dedicated combat troops. What you are going to face is that you are likely to be even more outnumber than before with no extra-cheap peasants to back you up, you have no dedicated combat troops though that's not to say your average Thunderer is useless in combat, and worst of all you are slow. On a more positive note, however, you find that the more guns you put into your army, the fewer enemies seem to reach you, as they are all gunned down before they can reach your lines.

Next time you play, you can guess how your enemy will probably act according to your experience accumulated from the above. When using your shooty Dwarves against a balanced army of Brettonians, there's every chance you know what your opponent is thinking, and what tricks they have up their sleeves which should be none, being the most honorable people in the Warhammer world.
