I'm not sure whether I will collect this list, but I thought it would be worth having people look at its viability.
So basically I cam up with the idea of a Dark Elf raiding list that was all cavalry/flyers. Seeing as though dark riders are core this is easily done. Obviously its a very aggressive list aimed at punishing its opponent.
Anyway, heres the list:
Lord/Heroes
Dreadlord with heavy armour, shield, sea dragon cloak, regen armour, reverse ward pendant and deathpiercer (killing blow lance) on manticore

Malus Darkblade

Sorceress on darksteed with dispel scroll and ring of hotek

Core
Dark riders x 5 with muso
Dark riders x 5 with muso
Dark riders x 5 with r x bows and muso
Dark riders x 5 with r x bows and muso
Harpies x 8
Harpies x 8

Special
Cold one knights x 9, full command and standard of slaughter (Malus rides with this unit for guaranteed movement)
Cold one knights x 6, full command, banner of cold blood
Cold one knights x 6, full command and war banner

Thanks for the feedback,
Ashen

Your sorceress setup doesn't make any sense. I know she is only a level 1, but a time might come that you want to cast. Since you have some many CoK units, let one of the CoK champs carry the ring of hotek. This way, the sorceress is free to cast if she needs to. With PoD, she stand a good chance of casting something useful once in a while, especially if you do a good job of hunting mages.
