I’ve already ordered about 90% of my army so I don’t want to make any massive changes. I was thinking about maybe dropping the 2 standards on the Blunderbuss units and using the points to add another unit of hobgoblins. Anyway I play all sorts of armies but my main opponent will be my friend’s vampire counts that runs a lot of skeletons and zombies with a zombie dragon and cav.
Thanks for your input!

Maybe get a BSB? I can’t get enough of battle standards these days.
Other than that, looks very nice 
zombie dragon and cav
Interesting. I found the T5 to be sufficiently off-putting to not use a zombie dragon with my vamps. Is it any good?

He generally uses it for the movement, but also because he put a lot of work into converting it. I've faced it with lizards and it generally isn't too much of a problem.
With tons of high leadership (except hobgoblins) I figured that a bsb was overkill in the Ld dept. So should I drop the GW on the hero and give him the warbanner instead?

There's always those annoying double 6s on break tests when you only lost by 1 :)
Plus, he adds 1 point to any combat he fights in.

A normal battle standard, Armour of Gaz and Sword of Might is the usual set up. Keep the War Banner on the unit. That way this unit has mega combat resolution and the BSB is well protected with his 1+ save, plus he can still dish it out.
The only problem, which I have just noticed, is that he has the highest Ld so has to be the general and hence can't take a BSB.... how irritating...
So options are:
1: Leave it as it is.
2: Combine the 2 sorcerers into a sorcerer lord general and drop the centaur lord to a hero, thus allowing the CD hero to take the Battle Standard.
3: Drop the Centaur lord to a hero and give it to him.
Personally I like the Sorcerer Lord, but try it out and see what you like best :)

** Edit
Here is my new layout of characters, the only changes to the rest of the list is that I dropped the small hobgoblin unit to 10 and upped one of the blunderbuss units up to 18.
Sorcerer Lord: 310
Level 4, Black Gem of Gnar, 2 Dispel Scrolls
Bull Centaur Hero: 151
Heavy Armor, Shield, Black Hammer of Hashut
CD Hero: 135
Armor of Gaz, Sword of Might, BSB
end Edit **
I kind of like the idea of a Sorcerer Lord too, probably because it’s more like the slann I am used to running with my lizards. Since I’m downgrading my centaur lord to a hero what should I give him? More armor or just stay with the Hammer of Hashut? What items are good for the lord? I’ll be keeping him in one of the blunderbuss units so he hopefully should stay out of combat most of the time but I’m worried about survivability.
Thanks!
Taekada:
I would make the Centaur Champion even cheaper.
Drop the Hammer for a Great Weapon and Gauntlets.
Extra Points can get you either and Extra Bull Centaur for that unit or extra bodies elsewhere… or a champion in the Hob Gob Unit.
I find the Bull Centaur Hero Good enough, dont need the hammer as they should usually always get the charge.
Just my Two Cents.

Alan the evil:
If you want to use sorcerer lord, a BSB and a BC you can work, leaving lord in the way you already use him. in 2 different ways in my opinion:
#1
BC with armor of fournace shield and GW
BSB with armor of gaz and sword of might
#2
BC with armor of gaz, gauntlet of barzak, GW
BSB with armor of fournace
BSB in the unit of sorcerer lord: it should be a block not smaller than unit strenght 25.
And if you find points, try to swap CD BSB in bullcentaure BSB.
