thoughts?

Your basic plan is a strong right (or left) hook I suppose? Denied flank? I like the concept of the list, and have used a similar one myself. The usual things to watch out for are unbreakables, beast cowers and movement spells/anvilled miners. If used properly (and with ridiculous redeployment possibilities), you should be able to go for the throat.

A few thoughts on efficiency:

1) No eagles? 5 shadow warriors are your only disruption unit as far as I can tell... I would consider dropping one unit of archers for two eagles.

2) You want to deliver a knock-out punch with your dragon princes. I'd consider the good old battle banner for this. It means you can confidently attack two units per turn and expect to trash them thoroughly.

3) If you are afraid of magic: you shouldn't. The only spells you need to stop (since you have such a big unit of dps) are beast cowers, master of the forge, and movement spells. For one turn. By turn his mages should be dead, running, or not able to target your units due to being in combat. Your scroll caddy should be enough for one urn of magic, especially with all your missile support.

4) Nullstone is a very risky loadout on the dragon... After all, your rider = 3 t3 4+ as wounds. I'd consider some ward-save gear, and a nice magic weapon or bow. A dragon should always behave like a VTOL combat craft, but yours is fragile in the extreme... Don't forget that enough firepower will take down anything!

5) I like the solid firebase. You have enough firepower to wreck most annoying units- just prioritise properly, it's the mistake I usually make.

Good luck at the GT!

Asd mentioned, it is nice, but I am sure we are all happy to try and help

1)I dont like the lord config at all; armour + weapon + ward is a safer and more effective config -when all your eggs are in one basket, it pays to be safe!

2)With a BSB, and given the rest of the army, the Swordmasters would be much, much better of being White Lions, for the obvious tar pitting reasons.

3)I would prefer a second mage to the BSB, but that is a more personal thing - instead of the world dragon, I think that some MR items to protect the DPs may be more effective.

Looks fun though, good luck!
