hi all im new to CD (only recently purchasing tamurkhan) and i wrote up this list. I wanted to see what all the CD veterans here thought before i bought the models. So without further ado:
LORDS
Sorcerer-Prophet: Level 4 (Lore of Hashut), Pistol, Mask of the Furnace, Dispel Scroll, Great Taurus 540
HEROES
Infernal Castellan: Fireglaive, BSB, Armour of Bazherak 195
I assume your prophet won’t be around to give rerolls to your warmachines, so i’d take a daemonsmith. I would loose one unit of BC and add a daemonsmith with enchanted shield. For the last points i think you can add two BC to your allready excisting unit if you loose a champion in the IG unit. I would allso consider making one big unit with fireglaives instead of two small where one would break realy easy since it won’t have stubborn and only 20 models large.
Allso i would reconsider if your prophet realy needs the mask. With charmed shield and talisman of preservation he would get the same save and still cause fear (terror) for 15 points less. If you work some more with your magic items and put scroll on the daemonsmith it might be possible to give him chalice as well Charmed shield can allso save you from beeing one-shoted from a cannonball. That allso leaves you the option of taking the mask for your castellan which will make your unit of fireglaives cause fear as well.
LORDS
Sorcerer-Prophet: Level 4 (Lore of Hashut), Pistol, Mask of the Furnace, Dispel Scroll, Great Taurus 540
As mentioned, talisman of preservation and charmed shield
HEROES
Infernal Castellan: Fireglaive, BSB, Armour of Bazherak 195
Mask of the furnace might be better here for 3+/4++ save CORE
19 Infernal Guard - FC, Fireglaives 354
20 Infernal Guard - Mus, Stand, Fireglaives 360
I can see you like fireglaives, but they are expensive. I'd drop them from one unit and then bulk up the unit size SPECIAL
3 Bull Centaurs - FC, GW, Shields 190
3 Bull Centaurs - FC, GW, Shields 190
Fine, although you can manage without the shields to make sure you get 30 infernal guard in one unit. If you've got a taurus you need these units to keep up and distract enemy fire 2 x Deathshrieker Death Rockets 200
Magma Cannon 145
Seeing as you've got a fast(ish) list and no daemonsmith, I'd actually consider dropping the deathshriekers for another unit of bull centaurs or adding a taaruk to one of the units RARE
Kdaii Destroyer 325
jolly good TOTAL: 2499
not really a big fan of fireglaives in this list, i dont see the use for them since you will be moving.
i would suggest to add a taururk instead of a unit of bulls and perhaps 1-2 mounted khans as well if you can find the points. you will need those to keep your destroyer from overrunning or charging things he must not etc.

also why lore of hashut here?
Samanos
If you realy want some fireglaives i would suggest lowering the number to 10 models so they can watch your magma cannon, and add more models to your HW & Shield block (just enough to fill up min. core). That should leave you with more points to spend on taururk and khans ;)
I allso think you should consider lore of fire with this list, if you look up the taurus' rules you'll know why ;)
Charmed shield can allso save you from beeing one-shoted from a cannonball. That allso leaves you the option of taking the mask for your castellan which will make your unit of fireglaives cause fear as well.
