I'm new to the Dark Elves as i am originally a Wood Elf player but i don't like the new book so i decided it was time for a change and i am looking for you vets to help me build and shape my army into something semi competitive. My list for my first game was
Lord- Sorceress level-4 Talisman of preservation (Dark Magic) which i found to be lack luster
Lord- Dreadlord Sea dragon cloak, Enchanted shield, Sword of ani heroes, Heavy armour and the black amulet
Hero- Master BSB, Heavy armour, Sea dragon cloak, Warbanner, Halberd
Core- 50 Dreadspears Full command
Core- 20 Black arc corsairs Full command, Extra hand weapons, Banner of swiftness
Special- 5 Cold one knights Full command, Gleaming pennant
Special- Cold one chariot
Special- Reaper bolt thrower
Special- Hyrdra Fiery breath
As you can probably tell i started with the Warhost of Naggaroth and built my list around that with a little rep so any improvements and adjustments you guys would make i would love to hear

Welcome aboard!
Are these all the Dark Elf models you own? Because I'd make some pretty substantial changes if you've got a wider variety.
If you are playing in the End Times, you can make a really tough army mixing your two model ranges.

I own all but the Hyrdra and bolt thrower, as i have only just started the army these are all the models i have at the moment. Also we are not playing End Times
Re: First Dark Elf army 2K
In that case I'd give the Supreme Sorceress a Dispel Scroll or the Ring of Hotek.
You'll want your BSB to be more survivable so don't give him a Warbanner but the Dawnstone and the Ruby Ring of Ruin instead. Start ever magic phase off by throwing a die or two at the ring and blast away his chaff - your opponent will hate making that choice every turn.
The Corsairs aren't that great in combat so I wouldn't give them the Banner of Swiftness (I actually wouldn't give them any banner at all).
Good luck and let us know how you do!
