My brother and I are considering getting second accounts, and wanted to get into PvP. We both rolled some Amarr characters and want to dip our feet in the water, so to speak. For Amarr, is there any certain ships or tips we could get? We have not done any PvP and want to start small with Frigs, maybe Cruisers in a bit.

Any tips for two Amarr PvP nublets? We plan on running together.

Two ships that work VERY Well together are the Punisher and the Tormentor.
Punisher Lacks Range Control, but has ample DPS.
Tormentor lacks DPS, but has plenty of mids for Range control.

I'd say something along the Lines of:
Punisher:
H:
Pulse Lasers
M:
MWD
Web/Scram
L:
Mix of a 400mm Plate/DCU/EANM/Heat Sink/other
Probably more of an emphasis on DPS
R: Damage/Tank

Tormentor:
H:
Pulse Lasers
M:
AB/MWD
Web
Scram
L:
Mix of a 400mm Plate/DCU/EANM/Heat Sink/other
Probably more of an emphasis on Tank
D:
Warriors
R: Damage/Tank


Alternately, you could go for a more Kitey set up with:

Punisher:
H:
Medium Pulse Laser II (T2 is Importaint, as it lets you use Scorch)
M:
MWD
Warp Disruptor
L:
Variety of Nano/Overdrive/Heat Sinks/Tracking Enhancers
R: Range/Damage/Speed

Tormentor:
H:
Medium Pulse Laser II
M:
MWD
Warp Disruptor
Cap booster/Medium Shield Extender/Tracking Computer/Tracking Disruptor/Web
L:
Variety of Nano/Overdrive/Heat Sinks/Tracking Enhancers
D:
Warriors
R:
Range/Damage/Speed

Kitey set ups orbit at around 15/16km. Make sure you load Scorch. If you ops for Kitey, you could use 2 Tormentors or 2 Punishers, but if you prefer to brawl you will most likely need the Tormentor to hold them down while the Punisher beats them.

As for tips to use, when it comes to weapons, Pulse lasers with scorch are basically your one and only advantage, make sure you use it.
Pulse laser tracking is terrible, make sure not to let your targets get too close.
