1000 points of death?

Here is my first draft of a 7th addition 1000 point

HEROES

Sorceress, lvl 2, seal of ghrond. = 165

Sorceress, lifetaker, Tome of Furion = 145

CORE

10, xbowmen, shields = 110

10, xbowmen, shields = 110

5, harpies = 55

SPECIAL

5, shades = 80

5, cok’s = 135

RARE

2,RBT = 200

TOTAL = 1000

The basic tactic is to keep the cok’s hidden, march block and war-machine hunt with the harpies and shades and I am thinking about replacing a unit of xbowmen with a unit of dark-riders with xbows.
When the enemy finally gets to my lines after been whittled down by magic and missile fire I am hoping for a flank or rear charge with the cok’s and causing enough casualties so that they outnumber and I get an auto break because of fear
Any suggestions for changes would be appreciated.

You are fine against infantry based armies but fast cavalry armies are going to be chalenge. Why do you need second mage with lifetaker? You could take master with lifetaker, dark steed and lance + full mundane armour instead.

I really don't like magic being used against me while I get my kicks from watching people get their prized unit blown to bits because they used all their dispel dice already. So she's basically for a distracting magic role and for the extra dispel die.

Why do you got a level 1 mage? I'd get rid of his life taker and make him level 2. For the rest it seems like a nice list, but I'd also swap the warriors for 1 unit dark riders

Because with the tome of furion she's basically lvl 2 and with the POD spell she can have enough power dice to cast whatever

If I keep both xbow units one in each but if I only have 1 ill put the lvl 2 sorceress in it and ill put the life taker by herself to be a kind of sniper-mage

Another good place to put the sorceresses might be with the reapers.

I think that your sorceresses will be prime targets in this list. There just aren't enough solid units for them to hide in. If an army had any number of solid heavy cav units, they could move across the table and wipe out your crossbows and sorcerii. I think you could benefit from diversifying your army a bit. Perhaps you could drop the two RBT for a hydra. That would definitely give most units at 1K reason for pause.

I really don’t like the use of monster units in 1k lists I think it’s kind of cheesy only because in low point games the opponent pretty much needs something just as strong to beat it with so it’s kind of boring. I am defiantly having one in a 2k list or higher because it’s kind of a must have now.
