so thats as near to 2k as i can get. characters sit in the big unit and justvwalk up the table supported by the hob swordsmen. the centaurs work interference, running ahead to take on little units or assisting the main blocks with breaking units.
the lammasu runs annoyance, using its spells to support the main blocks and its brwathweapon to break difficult combats. the deathshriekers sit back board with bowmen and support the blocks…
Fit in some khans, you will need them. Shave the Bull Centaur unit to about 4, 6 is a lot of point investment and they are not the hammer/front line unit you want. Double rockets can work. Lammasu is an interesting choice, have you tested it out against many opponents?
I find that Hobgoblins in any less than 50 is usually a poor investment. They die in the droves so they would be lucky to be steadfast after one turn with only 30 models.
If you’re going to run 6 Bull Centaurs you would definitely need a Tauruk with crown of command. Otherwise your BC are just going to get out of range of the BSB and more than likely run away against anything that isn’t weak/infantry (as you can’t stomp cav obviously). If you wanted them as breaking units I would run two units of 3 if you plan on keeping them close to the BSB. Gives the enemy more to deal with.
I love deathshrieker as that have always worked great for me. I only run one however. Magma cannons are just to awesome at whittling down enemies!
I recently just bought a metal Lammasu for $20! I have never ran one but I love the idea of a cow casting spells!
6 bull centaurs are ok, you need to kill 4 of them to remove steadfast againts an oponent without rank so it’s cool since they are T5 3+ save with 3W each. Does LoA allow you to take a lammasu without him being the mount of prophet? strange…
Flammer banner isn’t worth it, chaos dwarf have many flammable attacks, don’t need the banner.
Prefere banner of swiftness or lichbone standard (magic résistance 1) it will give a 3++ to your lord (against sniper spell) and a 4++ to your troops against flamming magical missiles.
You can also think about banner of slavery since you have hobgoblins.
But i would recomand to play less infernal guards and more hobgoblins in that case:
You don’t need your IG to be numerous, they will be stuborn anyway thanks to the BSB.
Something like 2x40 hobgoblins archers + 20 IG with banner of slavery could be nice.
I would play a k’daai detsroyer in order to have one big guy.
Or a hellcanon… You list seems to be rather full shot/defensive, why don’t use more of this?
