Not too dissimilar to the army I first fielded. You will learn to love the flank charging exes. My only comment is that you might be better off equiping your noble to assist either the exes or warriors in close combat rather than giving him lifetaker. I don't much like the talaisman of protection either, as I find a 6+ ward save a bit flimsy. I would be inclined to give him perhaps sword of might and armour of darkness, or something of that ilk.
Might controls everything, and without it, you cannot protect anything, not even yourself.

i can see your army going very well against chaos with exes etc but dwarfs, i dont know, haven´t played them much but if it is a shooty army, you would get problems but if it is hth combat, you have pretty good chances too. 750pts, a sorc can be devastating but its a HUGE amount of points. i would try to get witchelves instead of exes because of more attacks, manbane and so forth.
i would consider a unit of dark riders instead of RxB warriors because they are fast enough to go for some warmachines.

When I think of something witty, I shall put it here.

Good points. I tend to find the Exes to be fine against the tough and heavily armoured dwarves beacuse of the high strength and almost guaranteed charge. Yes, Witches with manbane are better killers, but they are less survivable, harder to control, and more expensive, which all counts against them in such a small army.
I agree, dark riders are a good option to consider as a possible alternative to the warriors. As was mentioned, the list above is great against a close quaters army, but might turn out to lack the ability to close with something more shooty.
For my money, a sorceress in a 750 is just too many eggs in too fragile a basket.

i like warriors and yes i have tought about darkriders but i think i will buy them later ,when i get to 1000pts.
witch elves = not that great against chaos ..i think they die to easy (ok ok i know that executioners dies almost as easy) ,
and he that plays dwarfs he uses to take crossbows rather than thunderers but not that many ^^ he dosen't like shooty dwarf army
and yes after thinking i think i will make my nobel a hth fighter instead.
Prince of Arnheim - no i haven't read the MSE tactica. I have to go and hunt for it here in the forums
