Not enough shooting, but can be interesting to play with. It's a list for friendly games and local tournaments. Planning to test it all next month.
What else can be added or what should be removed from, what do you think? (I have to save the "pirates" theme and want to have as many beasts in army as possible). Thanks )

Yes! A new theme, corsairs from KK!

The dual sorceresses should work fine. They are very mobile, which is excellent.

The COB is very useful for COK and hydra, and of course the WE.

The list is balanced.
Mobility is good.
Shooting is low except 2 RBTs.
beware that there is no magic weapon, you rely on magic against ethereal creatures.

The small corsairs units are fine, cheap and expandable.
Did you consider to have one of them with RHB instead of AHW?
It's fun, the shielding provided to other units (WE) is similar but you can get rid of march blockers more easily.

The COK could go with no command group at all, if you need the pts. With a COB boost, they are very efficient, but if they are destroyed, it's not a pts sink.
With the spare pts, you could increase the size of one AHW corsair unit and provide them the SSS banner.

Wish you the best raids!

In my region there are no VC at all, so I should not care about this )

It is looks like a funny idea but I never tried this kind of equipment for my corsairs. Just don't want to loose additional attack (SSS may be a solution, yes...).

Wish you the best raids!

Thanks ) We will met in the sea ;)

Because I just had not MORE corsairs I could not use them more than 2*10. Also I had some doubts about COC and COK's, but CO's is a water-liked creatures, so it is a pretty well to see them on a board (they are like small sea dragons you know :)). All other units fits well, IMO. What's wrong, maybe I have misspotted something?
