ist is fairly solid. I would give the high sorceress a soul stone instead of the darkstar cloak as miscasts kill you instsntly(pretty much), these days. I like the flying characters.

I like the HS as is actually. I am pretty careful with the numbe rof dice I use for spells, and I find I don't actually miscast that often. May just be my luck though, as magic armies are really effective for me.

As to the rest of the list I think its a pretty good balanced list that should be able to handle most armies. One question I have is why give the web to the noble? Even if you suicide him into a mage or something he should be able to kill it with his and the mounts attacks. Also I would give the noble a SDC and shield. HE only has 5+AS as is

My only problem with it is that it looks like it will have some(alot of) trouble against horde armies. Have you played any hordes with this list yet? 9 Potential combat units against their potential however many, but you know its guna be alot. I'd like to see some corsairs or some witch elves in there as a flanking unit of 12 with champ for either, although im not sure what id drop.

I played aganst orcs with lots of bricks of orcs and gobbos i could never win against them rank units one on one but with are speed combo charges are easy to set up.Manticore in the flank with a warrior unit ,chariot in the front mean i win combat over run in to another unit .

I played two game this friday .One vs vampire counts .One vs ogers . Im going to post more detail on tatics in the battle report . I tie vs vimpire counts ,I lost vs ogers bad .

Im not to happy with the beastmaster manticore combo it just to much of a hit or miss but it dose get alot of attenion so that very good im thinking about droping the blood armour to free up some points and get a crimson death on my noble on a peg for more hitting power and a small package .
