Warriors are amazing compared to most other armies' core troops; their big disadvantage is they need to slog forward into combat to achieve much, so I equip mine with shields to help get them to melee even if I don't plan to use the shields when in combat.
Hounds can do a reasonable job of harrying archers/war machines too, although I usually include some Marauder Horsemen to give me more options to deal with the shooting/magic units that would otherwise be chipping away at the Warriors.
I have run armies without magic. However, as WoC have hardly any shooting, it makes the army entirely reliant on utterly dominating movement and melee while also avoiding ranged attacks.
