So I got my fantasy army the oher day and since wondered which lord would support the armie better,(btw I've only had three games so feel free to give advice)
The army(1200-1190
Death Hag,
- cauldron of blood
- obsidian blade
10 Blackark corsairs
- reaver
10 Darkshards
20 Dreadspears
- lordling
20 Witch Elves
- Hag
- standard bearer(razor standard)
War hydra
The two lords are:
Hellebron
Dreadlord
- Cloak of twilight
- glittering scales
- Dawnstone
- Cold one
- Heavy armour
- SDC
- Shield
- Lance
- Brace of repeater handbows
Hellebron would tag along with the WE and the hag whilst the dreadlord and hydra go warmachine hunting leading to preparation for a flank charge.
what do you guys think, not the FLGS is indeed friendly to newer players so not many power gamers are present.

Bron since you don't have anything to deal with 1+ armor which is fairly common.

Obsidian blade on the hag in the cauldron ignores armour...

So the lord then?
I found through actual games that people hide the cannon behind troops therefore my lord has to waste a turn killing the guards. Then another to get the cannon whilst hellebron significant boosted killing power and gave protection from magic for the unit.

At 1500 points, Hellebron is virtually unstoppable (*in combat*) as the only one of the truly nasty 700+ point End Times characters you will see is Tyrion. She also makes up for your lack of a wizard by giving you a 4+ bonus to dispel attempts on the Witch Elf unit (where most of your points are anyway). I would go Hellebron here because ultimately she out-damages and out-supports the Dreadlord.
