Army list for the 23rdth

So I'm sitting on campus today and decided to post my army list that I'm taking to the tournament next Saturday. I think it would be neat for those that are coming to post theirs as well to see what type of mix of lists are going to be there.

2249 Points Total

This list might change slightly as I currently messed up the points cost for the sorceress but for the most part that is the list. Its very similiar list I took to the GT in 2008 and went 3-2 if I remember correctly.

I probably won't decide until the night before but I'm bouncing between building a list around a Black Dragon or the Banner of Nagarythe.

Love the Black Amulet tho.
Does your Potion of Strength Master go with the Shades?

^Edited He is mounted on a Dark pegasus that I converted from a Bretonnian Pegasus knight. I decided to try something different than trying the typical thing from most people. I was really undecided with the black amulet but when I was scanning through the items I knew I wanted him to have a Magic weapon of some sort and in the old army book I ran him with the black amulet of course it was 35pts and gave a 5+ inv save. So going double that I was hesitant but when I noticed the Whip of agony was 25pts I believe I felt compelled to take both since I have re convert the Rider on the manticore.. Some one decided to break if from my old office. =(

That makes more sense
I was thinking it would be a nice S7 punch on a shade charge, being the only infantry unit, but why not use a manbane assassin..

Hehe, true true. The idea is a Beast Dark elf army. So an Assassin would make the shades a better unit for combat but would really fit the idea of what should be in the army. The one thing about taking the black dragon is you lose your 4th hero slot limiting you to only 3 Hero choices in total. Also I'm still working on the Converting of one. He sadly got put to the side while I started working on this Chariot themed Dark elf Army which in turn has been put on the side while I finish the models that need touch ups and rebuilds for this upcoming tournament.

Where are the weapons on your characters or the ring if you don't have scorc or are you trying to balance the book?

Man I completely failed to type out the list from the Excel sheet, the Bsb doesn't have any additional weapons just the shield. The Master on pegasus has a Lance, and the issue with the sorceress is I forgot to add the points to the dark steed into the total points of the list. I'm pretty sure the steed is only 12 points so I did a quick revamp of the list to include that cost. I'll do a recheck of my list tonight when I get home and have a copy of my army book.
