I'd drop the talisman and seal for the pendant of khaeleth and then something like the Soulrender or enchanted shield. The Pendant will give you the ability to stop anyone's uber character or model of death in its tracks.

Sorceress-160pts
Level 2 Wizard; Dispel Scroll

If you want to keep the lvl 2 upgrade then I would suggest getting the sacraficial dagger so you can bump up your power dice a bit. Otherwise, drop the lvl 2 upgrade and take a second scroll.

Death Hag-225pts
Cauldron of Blood; Battle Standard Bearer

Decent, no khaine weaponry?


20 Dark Elf Warriors-155pts
Full Command; Shields

20 Dark Elf Warriors-155pts
Full Command; Shields

10 Dark Elf Repeater Crossbowmen-115pts
Shields; Musician

10 Dark Elf Repeater Crossbowmen-115pts
Shields; Musician

Can't go wrong with these guys.

12 Black Arc Corsairs-125pts
Musician

6 Dark Riders-139pts
Musician; Repeater Crossbows

6 Harpies-66pts

Assassin-146pts
Additional Hand Weapon; Manbane; Rune of Khaine

All good here.

Consider giving the assassin the throwing stars. Right now you really have nothing to threaten tough large targets and the stars (with manbane) would give you that ability.


20 Black Guard-330pts
Full Command; Banner of Hag Graef

While this is a great unit ... it is too big IMHO. You don't need numbers here because they pack so much woop-ass on their own. I'd drop the unit down to 14 (deployed 7x2) and give the champ the Ring of Hoteck ... the item is stupidly good and will greatly bolster your magic defence. If you are not willing to take what everyone else takes then consider a Null Talisman or the Crimson Death.

11 Witch Elves-115pts
Musician

If you dropped some BGs above then you will have points for taking a Hag and Manbane. Other than that the unit is fine.

5 Cold One Knights-159pts
Musician; Standard

You really don't need a musician for this unit. I'd also drop the banner or add another guy ... either way I'd rate another guy with hatred as being better than one standard and musician.

6 Shades-108pts
Additional Hand Weapon; Light Armour

These guys are a much greater threat with great weapons. Also, drop the armor ... it's not going to do mch.


All-in-all I think the list is very good. It could be a lot better with a few tweaks here and there that won't change the general construction of the army.
