Later this month on the 14th I will be going to a 2250pt event and need some help with suggestions on my army.
Sorcerer Profit: LV4 (fire) Chalice of Blood and Darkness, Enchanted Shield, and Talisman of preservation
Castellan: BSB, Shield, Mask of the furnace
(30)
Chaos Dwarf Inferal Guard : Full command, Blunderbusses, Banner of Slavery
(10)
Chaos Dwarf Inferal Guard : Fireglaives
(10)
Chaos Dwarf Inferal Guard : Fireglaives
(35)
Hobgoblins : Standard and Musician, Bows, Shields

Magma Cannon
Magma Cannon
I figured with a 2+ armour and 4+ ward on both characters that should give them survivability. I choose lore of fire because the buffs and damage it can cause wounding on a 4+ with Blunderbusses re-rollable is nice but wounding on a 3+ re-rollable is better considering how many people will be bringing regeneration to the party. Between vc and their ME and Ogres and their troll guts, and not to forget the number of chaos players who use the troll king in the area Lore of Fire is a good choice. The down side is I know at least 1 High elf player who always runs dragon princes but the downside of the lore vs them can be said about our magma cannons too. Any suggestions are welcome thank you.
MLP:
Character setup seems fine, although beware of uber characers challenging them.
I don’t know if the Fireglaive units are worth it, I think they’d be better off with great weapons or combined into a larger unit with no weapon upgrades.
I think he Banner of Slavery is not needed if you plan on keeping the Hobgoblins close to your Ld bubble.
It also looks like you don’t have anything to take out war machines or high toughness monsters. Magma cannons are great against Monstrous Infantry/Cavalry/Beasts but they won’t have the reach or strength needed for anything T6 or higher with multiple wounds.
You have like 60% on core, Chaos Dwarfs don’t have cheap enough troops to outhorde anyone. Depending on your models you have available I would drop down on some core and take a Hellcannon or Destroyer and certainly a Deathshrieker.

Looks great! Good luck in your tounament
The Besieger:
Very nice army list.
Only… i will change the K’daai Destroyer for a Iron Deamon skullcracker hellbound.
I’m a big fan of the skullcracker
.
Take the extra points that you need from the hobgoblins :p.
Remove the banners from the hobgoblins units.
Your enemy will profit more when he get the extra banner points.

I do like my Iron deamon skullcracker but it has rarely made its points back in games mainly due to the fact that the few list I have used it have been against horde armies - Skaven and O&G and the O&G list had no Orcs
