The plan is to have a mobile purple sun and snipe characters in the mean while. I am contemplating dropping the 2 level 2’s and trading them in for a level 4 shadow. or instead changing one of the shadow into a death wiz.
Let me know what you guys think. Im always open to suggestions.
I used to always use a level 4 and a level 2 but I have found that having just one extra level 2 really helps my chances of getting the spells I want. It also allows me to have one more arcane Item. this is a recent change that I have been experimenting with. I like having multiple shadow wizards to debuff my opponents units with melkoth’s mystifying miasma. also it improves my chances of getting okkams mindrazor or pit of shades.
I always have a tough time getting my points back when I buy blunderbuss so I have been also experimenting without them. I have found in most of my games that I need to use a lot of units, at least 3, or none at all. after hearing how blunderbuss work, most of opponents throw a single monster at them or a unit of knights and they quickly destroy the blunderbuss unit.
the bull centaurs are really in my list because I finished converting them right before 8th ed came out and it was such a shame when they got nerfed. I originally had them in 2 units to be more mobile but just after a few casualties they become useless so I combined the units. now they are my most mobile punchy unit.
The 24 cd’s are my mage bunker and I don’t plan on having them see much battle. although it does happen often.
I have been thinking about removing the razor standard and 19 of the hobgoblins to get some extra points. maybe try to squeeze in a few bolt throwers.
from what I know most of the units are 2 rare! for every 1000 points they can put an extra!
1 Bullcentaurs
1 EarthShaker
1 EarthShaker
3 units...

I believe you are referring to 7th edition. this is an 8th edition list. in 8th edition you are allowed to spend up to 25% of your total points on rare choices.
I know little of chaos dwarves, but it seems to me that because of the limited number of models in a Bullcentaur unit, it seems that they should have chaos armor so they are more surviable. I realize it’s expensive, but they are already costly, and with out the armor your investment is vunerable.
I think that 2 lvl 2’s on shadow is a great idea, especially if you intend to use purple sun. You will have to different chances to cast Miasma and nerf their initiative before your lord goes bowling. I love that you are doing a Death sorceror on the Lamasu. It is crazy powerful to have the area of effect soul blight go off within 24 inches of their entire army, and not have to worry about range restrictions on those short range character sniping spells.
yup that’s the plan. and I can’t put chaos armour because this army is based on the Ravening Hordes pdf. its very similar to my current list. this thread just resurfaced today.
Useless against monster and fragile but i think that 2X10 is cheep and usefull so you should think about it.
You just need your sorcer on lammasu, an apprentice and the standard bearer, the two other characters aren’t intéresting, you could let them go. An other death roquet? you could take 2X10 hobgo to have sacrificing units.
