I like the list its different, But First, I see that your Supreme Sorceress has lots of items but no protection what so ever she will die soo quick. Focus familiar is unnecessary imo. Give her PoK or something. Same goes with your BSB but big time you cant let him die. The Xbows dont need champs waste of points... use those points to give them shields. I like your dark riders i want to try some out. Im interest to see how they do but i dont know if they should have FC or not.. CoK only 5 first off I really dont like they have done nothing for me 3 games in a row. And why full command? there banner will be of no use in a fight because they should be flank charging a unit that is already pinned down by warrior with a banner... champ= not good use of points imo. Shades- again waste on the champ. imo

I was going to say somethings along the lines of what Kirbinator said. He knows what hes saying, he has guided me before i would listen to him.

I have something to say about "elites"
Witch Elves: I heard are quite good but they are glass hammers they do need a CoB and big units. But can dish out crazy attacks and poison is impressive.
Executioners: The same as the witch elves really i have heard that they are only really viable with a CoB and horde. But im going to try a unit of ten to act as a mini hammer for an anvil sort of like a 5 man CoK unit but with Executioners.
Black Guard: very mixed reviews i have read. So maybe Kirbinator has some thoughts.
Regarding the Master joining Khainites can't happen. It says only khainites can join khainites but khainites can join non-khainites.

Hmm i like the improvement but again BSB and sorceress not much protection mean they NEED a ward save. Your 2nd master i dont see the point of him? He has no equipment to do any kind of job. Why downgrade the Supreme sorceress to just Sorceress at 2000 pts. you should have a lord choice IMO.
And i think you should try my assassin build out i LOVE it and has never failed me. Assassin- Extra hand weapon, Rune of Khaine, Man bane. It works wonder hitting on re-roll-able 3+ and wounding on 3+ and will almost always have enough strength to pen. armor well. He is always a threat to any army because he has so many attacks and is so versatile i really recommend you try him if you take an assassin you wont be let down. I suggest maybe getting another unit of dark riders for more mobility/harassment. Because with your big blocks they will be strong but slow so two units of them can protect/threaten flanks, which is helpful, considering your main infantry cant really do that, besides the shades. So basically you hurting most in heroes section. I build my Sorceress's with PoK as a standard. And BSB there are lots of ways you could go i take armor of eternal servitude, dragon bane gem, and beast masters scourge. Just some thoughts.
@kirby
I agree with your thoughts on executioners considering they have to survive getting attacked first, but my idea is to give them banner of har ganeth or whatever its called to give them ASF and watch them butcher enemies! I thought that would make them much more viable.

again why no lord? and no protection on the sorceress? Bsb looks better. i like everything else though. bummer you dropped the assassin but with that build he really does some damage.

Well personally if you want to be character cheap. Then i wouldn't buy a dread lord i would just upgrade the sorceress to sumpreme lvl 4 with talisman of protection or PoK which ever you decide to put on Bsb or her. you could take off the dark riders since you already have warmachine (hunting shades) And with out a CoB or banner or fighty champ for the CoK you will find them VERY under whelming. I have heard that running them with 5 with musician is very good, so with those points you should have enough to upgrade as you wish. But i have played like 8 or 9 games so dont have to take my word for it but this is just how i have seen it/ heard about it. oopppss haha this is late sorry.. didnt see other posts you basically did what iw as saying in here anyway.
