Posting this list per request. I am taking the following 2500 list to a tourney on April 14.
I have used this only once, and stomped on some Skaven. Might have been a fluke though. I can expect to see any and every army at the tourney.
Comments welcome.

The other Tricksters Shard

Nice looking list, it seems pretty point efficient whilst having good variety. Make sure you post up your encounters in the Tourney!
I’m wondering if the castellan wouldn’t be better off with the Mask of the Furnace instead of the Armor of Bazherak the Cruel. I think the points cost is similar but instead of 2+ save and MR 2 you get 3+ 4++ save and fear.

I anticipate a bit of magic to be thrown around, so really think the Mr 2 will be better off for me.

it makes fire based magic a bad option for you stacking with the blackshard armour you get 3 up ward save i have the same set up
nilbog:
The infernal guard units look a bit small, especially the ones wth the blunderbusses. You really need 20 BBs to take full advantage of their special rules, plus a few more so that when you take some casualties you’re still firing at full capacity.
If you want MR, take the lichebone pennant on your infernal guard unit and then get a ward save for your bsb as MLP suggested.
I’d drop the other tricksers shard as it means that models in your own unit that are in base to base have to reroll ward saves, which would include the ward granted from blackshard armour and MR.
I’m not sure how effective one iron daemon is? Maybe swap it for a magma cannon then you can afford more blunders.

With the Armour of BtC you'd have 3+ 3++ against fire and 3+ 5++ against any other magic but only 3+ against anything else.
With the Mask otF you'd have 2+ 4++ against everything with the fear aswell. As nilbog said lichebone pennant would benifit the whole unit whilst brining the BSB's save to 2+ 3++ against magic. Pretty good for an extra 20 points.
Where are you putting the Prophet? as nilbog said if He's in the unit it's affecting them too, but then if you put him in the corner away from the BSB he will only be affect 3 models so you shouldn't notice it. A good trick could be to give him Blood of Hashut as well as the OTS to assassinate a character or something.

I run my BB’s 6 wide, so that allows me to add up to 2 characters without affecting shooting. This also gives me 7 wounds before I get under the 10 magic number.
I usually determine where the BSB goes based on the army I am fighting. Last time I had him in the 20 strong unit, with the SP. Worked well.
The Iron Daemon worked well for me also. It managed to take a big chunk out of a Rat Ogre unit (love multi wounds) with just one shot and then held up a flank by tying up a big unit.
As for the other tricksters shard, well, I play a lot of Daemons regularly. May not see that in the Tourney, so will probably drop it for something else.

for 5 more points you can give your daemonsmith LVL2 the enchanted shield and give him a 2+ AS. it’s so worth it, only 5 points.
