Ok this is the army I threw together in anticipation of our store's tournament.
Heroes:
Noble w/ dark steed, HA, SDC, halberd, SoG
-Goes with the standard-equipped DR to give them some punch. Could get switched to the Executioners.
Scroll Caddy
-Necessary at this points value...
Core:
2*12 Spearelves w/ shields
-Deployed 3*4 I find them to be very effective roadblocks. The shields increase their survivability
5 Dark Riders w/ rxbs, muso
5 Dark Riders w/ muso
5 Dark Riders w/ muso, standard
-These guys are basically for harrassing and disrupting the opponents battle line and for war machine hunting. Indispensible in my opinion...
10 Rxbmen w/ muso
-Just there for some fire support and to assist the RBTs. I don't like giving them shields because I feel those points can be well used elsewhere.
Special:
10 Executioners w/ champ
10 Executioners w/ champ, standard
-These guys are here to give me some armour penetration. The 2nd unit contains 1 of the 2 standards in my army and needs to get into combat.
9 Harpies
-War machine hunters basically...
Rare:
2 RBTs
-Although boring I feel they are mandatory for an MSU army to give it some firepower.
Total Points: 1436
Any suggestions on what to spend the last of the points on? Comments welcome...
1500 point MSU army-worth a look

If you are going Shades you have to free up some SPECIAL SLOTS (2x Executioners + 1x Harpies = 3 slots taken).
I would suggest to not use the Shades, or swap them for Harpies and add WITCH ELVES instead of one unit of Execs (1 is enough I think) - one Hag with manebane can do as much amage and whole exec unit when fighting T4+.
