Hi there guys, I have a local tourney coming up and would like some help fine-tuning the list I've been running lately. So far, I'm undefeated in my local area with this list, but I feel like certain parts of it just don't mesh well or something else might work better. So, without further ado:

Lords: Dreadlord w/ Sea dragon cloak, ha, Talisman of Pres., Ogre Blade, enchanted shield - 244 pts (General, sits in black guard unit)

Supreme Sorc lvl 4 life w/ Book of ashur - 290 pts (I previously had her on a dark steed running with a group of warlocks, but I just don't feel like she is protected well enough there)

Total: 531 pts

Heroes: Master w/ Sea dragon cloak, ha, shield, bsb, dawnstone, sword of might - 152 pts (sits in the black guard with general normally)

Sorceress lvl 1 dark w/ ring of hotek - 165 pts (she sits in black guard unit as well and casts power of darkness before combats in addition to being a deterrent against enemy spellcasting. The MR 3 has actually saved me a time or two as well)

Total: 320 pts

Core: 2 X 5 Dark riders w/ rxb's, shields, standard, and mus - 240 pts (Banners are here bc tourney has bonus points for getting a unit with fort into opponent's deployment)

28 Corsairs w/ extra hand weapons and fc - 305 pts (This unit honestly feels like a waste of space for me, but I have no idea what to replace it with. Most games, it doesn't even get into combat, it just absorbs firepower, but has yet to actually be wiped out)

15 Darkshards w/ sb, mus, and banner of eternal flame - 210 pts (mostly just for getting regen off of Hellpits and such)

Total: 759 pts

Special: 27 Black Guard w/ fc, razor standard, ironcurse icon - 485 pts (This unit is the killer. It has literally disintegrated everything it has touched in games so far, and between life magic and the ring of hotek, it seems like it becomes surprisingly durable)

4 X Reaper Bolt Throwers - 280 pts (I wasn't sold on these until I tried including a 4th. Now I understand what all the hype is about)

Total: 765 pts

Rare: 5 Doomfire Warlocks - 125 pts ( I wish I could afford more of these guys. A timely soulblight here and there has really sealed the fate of an enemy unit or 2)

Total: 125 pts

Grand Total: 2500 pts

I'm very interested in hearing some feedback from the community. Like I said, this list has won every game I've played with it so far, but I can't help but feel like it just isn't really in sync with itself yet, and might have some trouble if it gets put up against a tougher list. I'd love to hear what you guys think.

The Lair of Vengeance....Poole.

How does this list deal with 1+ armour saves?

Beyond the Black Guard rolling really well, and your opponent rolling poorly, you have nothing to get past them, other than bolt throwers. I on't see why you include black guard when they're designed to lose combats and grind. I'd swap these guys out for executioners, because they're cheaper and they fill multiple roles.

Other than that, drop the corsairs for more dark riders.
