Following dalamar's comments you may want to consider switching the caledor's bane on the BSB for the Sword of Might on the BSB. This change will give the BSB some staying power in case you need to hold up wraiths or flamers or other stuff the DE army struggles with. Since you say the tourny will be...

Armor for an elven sorceress is definitely a no-no. Also, switch lifetaker to one of the sorceresses in one of the rxb units. She can move with the DRs but cannot shoot like fast cav so you may as well put her in an infantry missile unit. I also agree that you need more DRs and harpies to maximize m...

It can be very effective in 2k level games because it allows the following often desirable options. An extra terror causing monster, high mobility hitting power for a noble that does not need to be the general, can be kitted out to be the BSB either with or without magic banner. I like to run him wi...

If you had a warbanner or standard of slaughter in those CoKs the utility of the witchbrew only increases. CoKs (after getting their witchbrew buff in T1) would be better equipped to charge fully ranked up infantry units. Six CoKs with witchbrew, Std of Slaughter and a +1 attack buff from the CoB ar...

If they are Hags and are seperate characters they can issue challenges then why should they not have the 25 pt Temple of Khaine Allowance like all other Hags?

I am afraid the utility in a unit of rxb elves that number 10-12 is just not there. These are support units in my army and I am not looking to spend another 25 pts for an upgrade for them. Having said that....how about Witchbrew for the CoKs? There is nothing stopping you deploying her with CoKs and...

Does your friend think that your noble could take a great weapon and get +2 S? Your friend should look under the "mounts" option in the army book as Thanee has said. Lance is a great option for a noble on chariot. It is arguably not quite as useful all around as a halberd but that S6 on th...

The lifetaker ruling is very aggravating. Unit champs that have access are going to need to consider magic weapons to try to counter wraiths. Soulrender for your BG champ, Death Piercer for the CoK champ or sword of might. Its not like VC needed any boost.

Upon further reflection....I really miss Chris Fitzpatrick. Compair the new stuff to the 6th edition metals (the corsairs hero with the axe or the or the other champions, the black guard champ, the ex champ and the WE champ). It is a real shame no one can capture the feel and look of his work.

Lifetaker is a magic weapon if you buttstroke someone with it but not if you shoot crossbow bolts with it. This really makes little sense.

Throw in two chariots and hydrae and you will have space issues. To solve these issues you may want to ...
