personally i would drop 1 COK and get a few more Witch Elves tho. at the least you can get 1 more WE and a Musi in there.
I always find that 1 guy that gets droped to the back rank a bit sad for him ;P

Finaly someone who never uses witch elves! I actually don't want to play them myself because I don't like to proxy models...But in this list the WE would be better then corsairs right?
I was also thinking about 5x5 but that looks like a small frontage..

You might consider to get musicians on your dark riders and darkshards. A free reform with your darkshards from the musician should be helpfull when a fast unit gets behind your lines. The musicians on your dark riders will help to rally your troops after you have fled with them.

Also, you could consider a scroll on your level2. You might get the points from dropping the magic banners... or something else that you prefer

What's the reason behind giving your Dreadlord a CO? That way, he has 0+ AS, which counts as 1+. You can give him a Dark steed, so that he will have 1+ (as with CO), but two more M and Fast Cav rule. Why would I play him like that? Simply to be more versatile. For instance you can now deploy him (efficiently) with Warlocks or COK, instead of only COK. Also, as a Fast Cav, you can do the Vanguard move.

Cold one attacks are better than elven steeds. So if you know your plan is to keep him in the Coldone unit, then may as well keep him on the cold one. If you want him to be versatile, then elven steed is the way to go. Plus, with a coldone, he can take a great weapon or halberd and still maintain 1+ armor save.

Now we can play with multiple dreadlords. So maybe one on an elven steed and one on a cold one.

I alsways put my masters and dreadlords on elven steeds. Always.

Thanks for the advise guys. I simpely had to choose wich extra things I would place in my army and there was no more room left for things like extra musicians or a scroll. I did the tournament and I ended up 3th place out of 6. The flaming banner was handy against skaven but I did not actually need the razor banner so I will remove that item and place some extra musicians like Mr. I suggests.

And I wanted a very hard hitting cold one unit, that's why I put my dreadlord in there. He killed some good stuff like pleauge furnace and the mage on top of it. Also against warriors of chaos that unit did really well! with some good placing, that can work out pretty good.

I'm also thinking about running multiple master on peg list (or steeds) but for more points list like 2400. But I'm also thinking that I need one more unit of warlocks, as they are amazing. And another combat block I think. I will make a 1800 points list next.
