2400 List with Dragon (any improvements?)

[Gutripper]

Nearly final list for tournament in 2 days. All constructive criticism welcome, bear in mind dragon is a must in the list


Characters

Dreadlord on Black Dragon, H armour, Shield, SDC, OTS, Ogreblade, ToP

Supreme Sorceress, Life, Lvl 4, Dispel Scroll (in exec unit)

Hero BSB, Cold One, H armour, SDC, Lance,, Great Weapon, Cloak of Twilight (in exec unit)


Core

3 x 5 Dark Riders incl RXBs and shields
2 x 12 Witch Elves w standards and musician

Special
4 x RBTs
18 Executioners incl standard, musicianand draichmaster, Razor Banner

Rare
2 x 5 Warlocks

Earthblood, Throne of Vines are essential

Earthblood on Execs and characters, will replace Awakening or Shield with this if needed everytime

Throne of Vines first pick when possible

Flesh to Stone, Regrowth and Dwellers obviously all great as well as remaining 2 out of these 3

[T.D.]

Few thoughts:

- 10 Flaming SoS might complement this list well, although it would require a bit of rejigging of core points allowance, etc...

- Cold One rider in Execs charging with S6 D3 wounds KB. Interesting approach. How has this guy worked for you in the past?

- List looks pretty lean and efficient, but a Ring of Hotek might come in handy on the Sorc (although I can see that you might need all the other existing components more than a RoH).

- Swiftness is another possibility on the Execs. Do you find you need the Razor for dealing with 1+AS?

[Gutripper]

It was a new idea i had with The master BSB but can also be changed to riding a dark steed to avoid stupidity, but then a shield is needed for 1+ . I can also only have either G weapon or lance, so not both.
So g weapon is prob better in general, but need to deal w stupidity for the whole unitwith Coldone which im not sure is worth it

CoT will be needed as he won't get look out sir vs canons etc

So i'd say either:
1. darksteed, lance, shield
3. Coldone, greatweapon

Probably COK is more fun

Lance vs G weapon: he can't reroll to hit rolls with the latter, but being w execs he might get charged and then g weapon is better

Maybe a halberd is better considering i'd get to reroll to hit rolls at the cost of 1S. Razor banner still means he'd get -3 to armour

Im facing WoC, HEs, Empire and lizardmen w high armour

[T.D.]

Makes sense.

Cold One is definitely more fun but for a tourney I'd probably avoid the stupidity and go with a Dark Steed.

Still decent armour save with HA, SDC and shield, and the fact you are using Life can help keep him tough/regen/alive with wounds.

[Gutripper]

Yeah so dark steed and 2+ save... Halberd or G weapon?

. 2 extra S4 attacks would also be nice with cold one, and do i get the bsb reroll for a failed stupidity test?

[T.D.]

Actually, now that you mention it, the fact that he is a BSB gives him some protection against Stupidity ...not sure if those extra S4 attacks and +1 save are worth it though.

-> Playtest and find out the best option
