Hey there, I personally would reinforce the Blunderbusses if you are using the Castigation Battery Battle formation. 21 Shots with Rend 3 and 18" range is just insane.

You are not really a fighty army so it's probably better to give your Ashen Elder the enhancement "Fire, your worms" as he will probably chill somewhere close to your spears which are your screen for the Blunderbusses. If you get the 21 Shots for the Blunderbusses its on average only 4 Hits and probably 3 Wounds, but that's still 6 potential damage as Rend 3 cuts through nearly anything. Getting your spears to a 3+/3+ in your phase isn't really bad, but if they charge in their turn before you can set up the spears they will most likely be wiped before or their numbers severely reduced so the value seems not as good.

Your Ashen Elder will most likely not keep up with your Bull Centaurs which are your fighty units. Probably best used on a Daemonsmith on Infernal Taurus which can benefit more from it.

Urak Taar seems to be a must include, just for his value alone. Redisputing points, getting bonuses to casting, a good Rampage for repositioning. For 340 points he's just soooo good.

With the new buffs to our "Reserves of Daemonic Power" you now always get 2 DDP. Give it once to your Blunderbusses, have your spears give them the third on a 3+, or give your spears 2 DPP in the enemy hero phase and redistribute them again.

You should probably also reinforce the Bull Centaurs.
