personally i don't like sorceresses in warbands, things like black horror, and soul stealer are not as good. Chillwind may also not work as well if the enemy has a ton of small shooting units instead of 1 big one. Master in a chariot is my fav, bash through unit after unit.

maybe some harpies.

Otherwise a good start.

Several small units of crossbows and rhb corsairs backing up a spearman block should work well. If you're running the warband version where a champion can be the general you can pull an evil list of...

5 crossbowmen - 50

5 rhb corsairs - 50

15 warriors - 105
full command, shields

5 executioners - 60

5 harpies - 55

war hydra - 175

Total - 495pts

However, I DO NOT RECOMMEND using that list as you will likely lose out on getting opponents for doing so.

On a more realistic approach, try...

5 crossbowmen - 50

5 crossbowmen - 50

5 harpies - 55

5 harpies - 55

7 corsairs - 70

Master - 220
Armour of Darkness, Crimson Death, Chariot

Total - 500pts

End result of shoot, marchblock, and smash with chariot.

actually could use that first list without a problem because the way were running it is you get randomly placed against 2-3 opponents a day ecery saturday for four weeks so getting opponents wouldnt be a problem

an in warbands that second list is illegal you can only have one flyinh unit
