Well it appears that I'm getting into all this at just the wrong time!!
Off the back of my recent moderate success at Raze & Ruin, I will probably be going to this tournament (comp pack is a 'traffic light' system, oddly enough):

Anyway, I'm sold on the old fast cav / avoidance strategy, so my list is here as follows:
4 bolt throwers
3 x 5 dark riders, shields, crossbows, musician
32 witch elves, musician, champion, standard, flaming banner
10 scouts, great weapons, musician
morathi on pegasus
10 warlocks, champion
dreadlord, dark steed, 1+ save, giant blade, OTS and dawnstone (vanguarding with warlocks), crossbow
hero BSB on pegasus, talis of pres, charmed shield, 1+ save, lance
5 harpies
it doesn't have a great deal of high strength combat attacks, only 4 S7 from the lord, but four bolt throwers will hopefully be enough against 1+ armour spam. and steam tanks!! omg i had to fight two of those recently. damn!!
