Well if the beastmaster on the master means the beastmaster's scourge weapon then he has more then 50 points of magic items. By bringing him down to 50 points of magic items, dropping the light armor on the shades (it really is not worth while) and exchanging the talisman of preservation for the pen...

It's certainly a thought, but I'm finding the level 1 to be getting better and better. I'm actually considering splitting the Witches into 2 units of 10, or even 3 units of 5-6 because they don't seem to be doing so much- the Corsairs are rapidly becoming my staple combat unit. Well from what I hav...

I would definatly recommend taking the scrificial dagger instead of a dispel scroll on the supreme sorceress so you have access to more powerdice if you roll low for the pool. Secondly, drop the tome of furion and the crimson death to give your supreme sorc the pendant to protect her from miscasts a...

Those look really nice. You might want to consider adding some dark elf details. For example, line the side of the ship with dark elf shields or add banners and flags to the ship and of course having spikes and knives along the siding on the deck would make it look significantly evil. These are just...

I see you seem to have great sucess with the level 1 fire sorceress but from some of your latest games it might be worth considering using the 100+ points to bring the witch elves up to 30+ models since them losing to many before reaching combat seems to hinder you a bit. Just a thought and I am loo...

Well right now dark riders end up being a lot of points to do what other units do a lot better, since they don't deal a lot of damage and are really easy to kill. That being said they can still be used to redirect, charge units off the board that are fleeing and be used to charge into a unit that an...

First off you definatly need to get command and shields on those repeater crossbowmen so they can also act as a combat unit if the need arises. For the witch elves, I recommend a unit of 30 so they can take some damage and still deal a lot of attacks, not to mention they can actually use all their a...

Very well done, that's a clever way of using the blue and green to contrast but using freehand to tie them together.

Instead of dark riders you might want to consider taking units of repeater crossbows to give more shots and provide a solid fire base in your deployment zone. Definatly invest in the standard of hag greaf on the cold ones so they can get constant re rolls and remain effective in combats that last fo...

Well to get your list into 2k dropping the bolt thrower would be your best bet since it isn't super usefull and it will give you another 20 points to play around with. If you are feeling like you are lacking combat potential then combine the repeater crossbows into a unit of 20 with command and shie...

This is definatly a nasty list ! My only suggestion is to go double shadow on your sorcs so you can be sure of getting mind razor, without it those witch elves are not going to be able to deal with certain units, witch can be completely game changing.

Be sure to include a musician on the repeater crossbows so they can swift reform and still shoot. I would recommend dropping the reaper bolt throwers and using the points to fit in more witch elves and black guard. Those units will really need some more numbers to function at their most optimised le...

Well one amazing item that I always take is the iron curse icon. The character's unit gets a 6+ ward save against war machines, so it can be very usefull. The best way to deal with these is to fight them back before they cause real damage. Take units of shades (like 10) which can scout and usually s...

Well you don't even need to use the focus familiar with mind razor since it has an increased range. It could be worth it, but you would want a large unit of shades and the pendant on the supreme sorceress since she would have to miscast it since if it does not go off, then you just lost a lot of poi...

First things, your black guard really need to be increased to 20 strong. With the cap at 20 a lot of people feel they are not set for dealing with as many units in this edition, so having 15 is going to be dificult to have perform, without them becoming a tar pit. Luckily you have a master/bsb so by...

The final list looks good. You might want to drop a few unit upgrades to bring the black guard to 15 or more (such as the black guard champ and the champ/banner on the repeater crossbows).

First off, the hydra is 175 points, not a big difference but you will need to adjust something for it. If you drop the lifetaker, the champs and shields from the repeater crossbows you can fit in a unit of 5 cold one knights, this would be a good choice since it adds more high strengh attacks to com...

To protect your Hydra can be difficult if you are facing Flaming attacks, especially from combat characters. Try to figure out if any characters have flaming attacks, or if any of his units has the flaming banner before you charge. Can be difficult if your opponent won't tell you. But... Good luck!...
