general advice :The base game wh1/2 is a good choice if you want more lords to play with,they are more 'vanilla' like too -good for start without very stand outish mechanics but if you want new races with all units to the roster and can live without some lords then (ironically) "lordpacks" dlcs are the way to go and older games wh1 and 2 can be totally skipped.
