Hi to all!
I'm Italian and i'm new to the game. We are 5-6 friends that decided to start palying warmaster. I choose the chaos army but there are a lot of choices to build a 2k army, so i need some suggestion to how do a 2000 points list to do my first buy list.
Many thanks to all!

For 2k points go with the army selector, take all mandatory troops, probably one additional Hero or Sorcerer and one each of all optional troops.
Warmaster Army Selector
Chaos Army, 1850 points
Warmaster Armies
----------------------------------------------------------------
300 - 2 Chaos Warriors
120 - 2 Chaos Marauders
105 - 1 Ogres
110 - 1 Trolls
90 - 1 Marauder Horsemen
200 - 1 Chaos Knights
30 - 1 Chaos Hounds
95 - 1 Chaos Chariots
65 - 1 Harpies

110 - 1 Chaos Spawn
125 - 1 General
160 - 2 Hero
90 - 1 Sorcerer
----------------------------------------------------------------
1850 - 13/7
This should give you an idea on the performance of all trooptypes.
Obviously this is NOT a real balanced army. So alternativly opt for a cavalry based army like

or go for a monstrous list, which would be well suited to fighting in built-up areas.

Hello.
Chaos inf-brigades are among the best in the game. Use that.
Brig 1: Mar War Ogr Mar - 375p
Brig 2: Mar War Ogr Mar - 375p
They will manage almost any commers, but stay clear of no-save shooting and heavy cav brigades.
Trolls, meh, makes you fail orders more easily.
Chaos knights is the best cav in the game. But they are also very costly, so they need cannon-fodder and flank support.
Brig 3: Hou Kni Cha Hou - 355p
Brig 4: Hou Kni Cha Hou - 355p
Alt.
Brig 3: Hou Kni Kni Hou - 460p
Brig 4: Hou Cha Cha Hou - 250p
Marauder Horsmen is as any other light/medium cav, but for just 5p more you get a chariot. Easy choice.
About monsters, Dragon Ogres are really cool and a terrible threat for your opponent to consider. But they are
extremely costly aswell. If you prefer this kind of unit, take it, but otherwise there are better options.
Harpies on the other hand is in my opinion necessary.
Brig 5: Har Har - 130p
And then there is the dragon, as a mount for a character. Adds terror into a combat of your choice and does that almost anywhere on the field. Excellent when the combats goes as calculated, but costly when not.
For characters the general is mandatory, but whatever you do, do not mount him on a dragon. Lose the general=auto-lose the game, meaning dont take him to combat and thereby you will not get any use of your dragon. Put a hero with +1A sword on dragon instead, if you like dragons.
General - 125p
Hero with sword - 85p
Sorcerer with scroll - 110p
Sorcerer - 90p
Total: 2000p, Units: 18, Break: 9, ATK: 500+
