2 x 15 Archers Musician, Standard Bearer
3 x 5 Ellyrian Reavers Bows & Spears
2 x 1 Tiranoc Chariots
9 Shadow Warriors

Looks really fun! Super mobile. Hard to pin down. I'm guessing it's more of a points denial list since you've got nothing to break ranks with.
Can an Archmage ride a star dragon? I thought they were limited to moon?
Is the list dependant on the models you have? If not, why not go full mobile and drop the archers for either some Silver Helms or more Reavers?
I can't remember how many points Alith Anar is, but its prolly close to a Frostheart Phoenix which would prolly serve the army better than a 3rd bolt thrower shot.

Star Dragon is a choice for Archmages I chose Alith Anar, purely for the fluffiness (vs. Dark Elves). You're right, no real fightiness in my list - just a case of runaway whittle down & maybe crash in at the end for mop-up??

Interesting list choices for both armies. Realistically, he should never catch most of your list in CC, as you are sitting with fliers and M9 fast cav. The archers, bolt throwers, shadow warriors, and probably the chariots are another story however. Anything that Malus touches is going to get wrecked, even the Noble most likely, same with Hellebron and the witches
Do you think that you will be able to carve off enough points from his list to get the win if you lose those units? I am excited to hear how it goes, make sure to let us know!

I'd heavily bet on HE here if played right. I think the death star is near unkillable for your list but you can ignore and redirect it easily, sacrifice two eagles/reavers will take it out the game. Arcane unforging would do work against Malus. Alith Anar can cripple the cold one unit pretty easily, especially if you deploy to a flank and then go first. Dragon + pheonix should sweep everything else. Are both sorceresses meant to go in the darkshards? If so that's easy points really. To be honest this is my most played matchup and I think your list is a complete counter to your opponents. Outside of crazy magic / scenario rules / the deathstar getting a massive charge that somehow snowballs down your line I don't see how they win. Just make sure you finish of the cold ones/malus/master to get the points.

Any DE player who takes a horde of witches and a cauldron deserves everything they get ๐. I like your list, itโs almost wood elfy in nature. Looking forward to hearing how it went.

Looking forward to it! Maybe some pictures as well? Purely for science and list building of course, not that I am horribly Warhammer deprived by covid and trying to scratch that itch vicariously through this forum.
