Army Ideas

Hey everybody! Currently, I'm thinking of two different "theme" armies, (as I really want a characterful, fun force that is at least pretty good at holding it's own)
Here's my ideas (also, I'm down to the line between Empire or Orcs as an army hence some of my decisions)

An Empire force determined to stamp out what they concieve as "evil" at any cost--even to the point of hiring mercenaries to help! when the general of said army realized that his crossbowmen detachments were always dying due to low combat ability, he stumbled across the answer he was looking for: Ruglud and his armored band of Orcs! these crossbow wielding Orc mercenaries provided the punch that he needed with his missile troops and therefore Ruglud rose into prominence becoming the leader of the crossbow division of this particular army, while the Warrior Priests and General wage war, Ruglud sits back with his boyz, shooting holes in the opponent! and when a good scrap comes along, or someone gets a little too close to the crossbowmen, BAM! Ruglud gives em a good wallop while Maggot counts his gold
Units: Lots of warrior priests, little to no wizards (if I understand the rules correctly, the dispel dice provided by the warrior priests should be enough), crossbows as the missile troops (in detachments on units with Ruglud's armored orcs (beefed up to 15 or 20) in their midst)
Other than that, just a lot of spearmen, halberdiers, swordsmen, all those great empire troops!
OR......

An Orcs and Gobbo force organized by a Black Orc Warboss, determined to stamp out his "ompetition" that manifests itself in things like Vampire Counts raising armies of the dead, Dark Elf Raiding parties, and anything else that stands in the way! He's ready to pound em into the ground with his black orc bodyguard (25-30 strong) and the help of his boyz (2-3 units of 30 orcs.) With some of those spider riders (how do you pass these guys up? c'mon!) and some spear goblins, he's ready to bear down on the enemy while his rock lobbaz (2-3) rain death on the enemy! Meanwhile, his shamans call upon the wind of magic to wreak havoc until the boyz can land in the fight and show em what 'dey can do!

Or...well I guess an undead army is still feasible but since I already have friends who do Vampire Counts AND Tomb Kings (I only have 3 friends who play warhammer granted) I am shying away unless someone gives a ridiculously awesome theme idea

Thoughs? comments? think I'm being an idiot?
Thanks everybody!
