Ok, so this is slightly themed, though trying to maintain competitiveness.
Dreadlord Manticore - Armour of Eternal Servitude, Null Talisman(2), Caldor's Bane(or another <=35pts weapon), Shield, SDC
Death Hag Caldron - Manbane, Rune of Khaine
Death Hag BSB - Manbane, Rune of Khaine, Banner of Hag Graef
10 Corsairs - RBw
2x10 Xbows
5 Dark Riders -RBw
5 Harpies
16 Execs - FC, Warbanner
5 Shades - GW
5 CoK - DK+R.Hotek
2 RBT
Hydra
Any suggestions. I would like to add a couple of shades to get them to 7.
Also I have no musicians and am used to needing them with my Empire due to lower Ld.
I am uncertain on the lords weapon, so any input here would be good and also thoughts on making him a master or Lvl4 still on manticore instead?

You dont have a lot of soldiers in this list. And i dont like Death Hags with army standards, due to their lack of armour save. I would put the army standard in the hands of a master, give him heavy armour and a sea dragon cloak. (:
And your only close combat units is 10 corsairs, 16 executioners, the hydra and ur knights... Hm.
And further more, if u really want to theme your army to the underground sea. Get rid of the cavalry, take A LOT of shades, corsairs and take no khainite units. (=

I would assume the purpose of the BSB is to give the executioners ASF which means that it needs to be a Death Hag as Masters cannot join executioner units.
@newsun - I really like the list, Musician on the Dark Riders would probably be a good thing and you would have to drop the Null Talismans to do it but I would suggest the ever popular Pendant of Khaeleth on your dreadlord. He wont be joining a unit so his magic resistance can't be passed on, so I think the ward will fare you better in the long run. As far as the Weapon choice goes, I think either Whip of agony or the good old Sword of Might will do better in the long run than Caledor's bane which, while good on the charge, is lackluster thereafter.
Yes the hag is for ASF on the execs or the cauldron depending on how it looked. I was going for a similar build to the blackstar nonsense but with harder hitting execs. Yes the hag is naked, but likely not much will survive the execs attacks especially if I give them the +A from the cauldron.
I have 3 terror causers for horde armies which generally have low Ld.
Hmm I could go for the pendant and different weapon though I can easily swap the weapon either way. My thoughts on the Null Talismans was mostly to protect the naked Manti, no AS on the model that gets hit by any shooting kinda worries me a bit.
I have 5 units coming in with hatred S5 attacks, I don't see how that is not decently combatty Kurl. Any of which could have +A
I also have 5 units which can act as screens and mage hunt or redirect or baby sit the RBTs a bit.
No magic is a bit of a worry with the way people seem to kit out magic heavy lists these days and no scrolls

I was looking at what your 2nd death hag was meant to do and was thinking that it may be better to get an Assassin and stick him in the executioners.
He costs a tad more but he can't be cannon sniped until he says "HewO!"
plus he's not frenzied.
But as your bsb is also frenzied it may be a moot point anyway.
