I am new to the forum but have been collecting the DE for about two years now, unfortunately my whole warhammer collection was stolen about a month before the release of the new DE line of minitures, so I had to start over.
Here is my current army:

The crew of the Black Arc “The Tormentor”

Captain Zanthra (general)
Lance, shield, seadragon cloak, Blade of ruin, blood armour, dispell scroll
Mounted on black dragon
558pts

Tessa High Sorceress
Level 4, dark star cloak, tome of furion, armour of darkness, dispell scroll
Mounted on dark pegasus
395 pts

Durgo 1st mate
Lance, heavy armour, seadragon cloak, hydra blade
Mounted on cold one
160 pts

Gregor 2nd mate
Heavy armour, seadragon cloak, Battle standard bearer, hydra banner
Mounted on cold one
211 pts

Anderial Sorceress
Level 2 tome of furion, dispell scroll
170pts

Mikael assassin
Additional hand weapon, sword of battle, manbane
179pts

24 warriors
shield, crossbows, full command
361pts

24 warriors
shield, full command
265pts

20 corsairs
full command, banner of murder
270pts

10 dark riders
crossbows, full command
275

20 witch elves
full command, banner of murder, witchbrew
360pts

20 witch elves
full command, banner of murder, witchbrew
360pts

15 cold one knights
full command, banner of murder
525 pts

12 harpies
156 pts

war hydra
220 pts

2 reaper bolt throwers
200 pts

4665 pts total

So let me know what you think. Haven’t gotten them all painted yet, just moved and started a new relationship, so not much spare time. Also have plans for and have started building the home for my army the Black Arc “The Tormentor” which when done will probably cover a 4’x4’ table and be about 5’ tall. Should be fun, just have to have the time.

I would give the highborn Gauntlet of Power instead of Blade of Ruin. A sorceress can't wear armour so drop armour of darkness and just give her crown of black iron. Hydra blade is a wate of pts. Just give the noble sword of might. And you should get another sorceress.
I wouldn't take a unit of 10 dark riders. So split them in 2 units of 5

would I still be in the point range to get another sorceress. Another question is that on the witch elves is it 12pts to upgrade to a hag or is it 12pts per figure to upgrade to hag. On the army generator that somebody posted on this site it adds 12pts per figure. I hope this is wrong.

Well, it depends on how much pts you play if you can get another sorceress.
And it's just 12 pts for a hag and not 12 pts a model

It was an error in the generator... I have fixed it since it was brought to my attention.....

Couple of other points: don't think you can use a lance with other magical items (not clear on this, rulebook says "a character who has a magic close combat weapon cannot use other close combat weapons", but then only gives an example of an a/hw).

Also, the assassin has an a/hw, plus the sword of might (not allowed), and you can't use manbane on a magic weapon. So either an a\hw and manbane, OR sword of might.

And you have also used the banner of murder four times.

I always thought that when you took a magic weapon it replaced your normal hand weapon, so I wanted to make sure that he kept both the normal weapon with the manbane and the magic weapon also.

Oh sorry about the over use of the Magical banner, it only makes sense that you could only have one of any type of magical banner in you army at one time.
