Your Sorceress has two Arcane Items, so unfortunately you're going to have to drop one. Also, which unit were you going to bunker her in? You don't really want her sacrificing Black Guard or even Corsairs - they're too expensive, and she also doesn't want to end up in a combat unit, particularly as you have no saves at all on her. I'd suggest keeping the scroll on her, and mounting her up in one of the Dark Rider units.
Presumably the dark steed Master is going in with the Doomfire Warlocks?
It's a nice unconventional list, so I look forward to seeing how it performs.

That looks like a good list! I look forward to seeing how the Black Amulet on your Dreadlord performs! Be sure to document that well!
Since this list is combat heavy, I'd suggest using your Dark Riders as protection for your Sorceress rather than running up and chaffing your opponents. Keep her in one unit and let the other run a screen for her, keeping her safe from Close Combat, but near enough to get some nasty Dark Magic spells off.
You shooting is covered well with the Bolt Throwers. Are you taking AHW on your Corsairs or Hand Bows?
Good luck with this game!

After round 1: Rocklobba and a spearchucka killed the dragon... Warlocks super wardsaved the great blackorc led by the badest blackorc in the world grongor. Doom bolt wiped a pump wagon and some wolf and bolt killed a rank of savages.

See if I can post some more pictures tomorrow. The game ended on turn three when I had no more units left on the board as his warmachines killed all my pegasus and impact hits from snottlibg killed the rest of my darkriders with sorcess and my horde with the banner of eternal flame couldn't kill and break the trolls. (double 1 and 1+2) on turn 2 and 3 for the trolls break test I could probably have moved a lot better and deployed it better. Even if I got restrictions on the scenario. But I find it hard when you deploy first and have no clue on how the opponent will deploy. Sorry mottdon my have nothing to report on the dreadlord as his dragon died first turn and he didn't manage to get into combat until it was too late single on foot. He did manage to almost wipe out gorbad with his ward saves in one turn of fighting, but I needed one more wound.

Nice! I'm liking the looks of playing outside! (It's waaaay too hot where I am...)
Sorry, you lost, it looked like a good list you had there, but the scenario just beat you. I have to give your opponent credit though, he had excellent deployment and a strong build as well. Having the Trolls away from his General, was a risky move, but looks like it paid off. (Did y'all remember to roll for Animosity? I couldn't see where he failed any. With that many units on the table, there's usually at least one that will fail and screw up a battle plan.)
O&G artillery is surprisingly tough! I've had that exact same thing happen to me before too! Deploy army - Top of turn one - O&G opponent drops a rock on my HE Star Dragon's head, killing it. Second Rock Lobber fires and drops a rock directly on my (now on foot) Prince (General), killing him. At that point, you want to say, "Okay, you win this game. Now let's just start over." But I didn't, and we played out the rest of the game. (He won of course.) My Empire's Stanks will also invariably roll the worst case scenario on turn one, 50% of the time! Just the way it goes sometimes.
I suppose you can be glad he only took 1 Mangler Squig. That thing is NASTY. It appears that it held his left flank for most of the game, keeping you at bay. Good thing he didn't have another one in the center, (I probably would've taken another one of those over a second Pump Wagon) ripping through your Warlocks or Black Guard. That would've forced you to focus all of your Bolt Throwers to just taking out that one model. *Chills*
Still, you did a great job fighting an uphill battle, after losing your general's dragon. Sounds like he did quite well vs Grimgor if he was able to take him out in one round of combat! (I'm guessing that they killed each other due to the Amulet.) That's quite the achievement, considering that he's a bad ass!
Thanks for posting!
