What do you hope to achieve with your Dreadlord? S4 attacks aren't going to do much honestly.

Replace Hydra Blade with Whip of Agony. Use extra points for more items.

Dark Magic has a bit of a low casting value for a Supreme Sorc, especially a SacDag one, I'd use the higher casting bonus for Lore of Shadow.

BSB on Death Hag is pretty much a waste. With the same points, you can buy more bodies, which is a far more practical solution to negating the ASL.

If the Spearmen are just a bunker for the Sorceress, down them to 20 or 25-man and add more dudes to the other units.

Make this 2 units of 5.
Witch Elves x30

Don't bother with Witch Brew. Take either Manbane or Rune of Khaine if you must.
Get rid of Tullaris and add more bodies.Executioners x19

Get rid of Kouran, up to 20.
War Hydra
Bring at least 2 of these.

Personal experience isn't a good way to choose units for 'Ard Boyz. Kouran and *especially* Tullaris weaken your list by a pretty good amount. The high points costs I recall (not sure on exact amount) could easily bring in 15-20 more guys, which would do much much better. Kouran might have a little use, as the Dreadlord would distract attacks away from him, but definitely get rid of Tullaris. He's an overpriced waste of points who will die before he ever gets a strike.

I'd highly suggest a Stubbron Unkillable lord, preferably on pegasus. You'll be facing some extremely nasty units and he is a great way to hold up 1000+ points of bunker while you knock around the rest of their army.

Witch Brew actually might come in handy. The WE's are frenzied so it wouldn't be a surprise for them to be pulled out of position due to overruns. Though I personally don't bother with upgrades for my champs. They're there to challenge dragonlords so they'd flee right afterwards.
The ASF BSB DH isn't actually so bad, coming from personal experiences. Ofcourse you need to match up with a unit that will die or otherwise, do very little damage back to you afterwards. However, because the unit of Executioners is so small, it really does make the BSB DH a waste of time. Heck even the whole unit a waste of time imo.
My major change would be to take the flame banner with the WE. They'll benefit much more from it than the Spearmen. AP on S3 isn't that special because if you're up against 1+ save units, then they're taking a 2+ save anyway. So it only makes a difference if the enemy has a 2+ save like our Knights. Besides, I'm assuming your Spearmen is more of a bunker for the mage, so it shouldn't be seeing combat most of the time, meaning they're holding onto a useful flame banner for nothing.
