The idea is that any shooting will be forced to choose between the Black Guard (who will be screened by harpies) and the Hydra/Cold Ones coming to eat them. Either one will hurt a lot if they hit.

The Sorceresses will stay out of fire lanes, race around and zap anything they can. The shades will kill warmachine crew and get a combined flank charge when something hits. One unit of harpies will screen the witch elves and one will march-block/mage hunt, while the dark riders will just do their thing and be very sharp, rapid-firing thorns in the opponent's side.

Are there any problems anyone can see with this?

I did indeed. I figured I'd get a better variety and amount of advice by posting on multiple forums. I replied to your reply over yonder, but I'll follow suit and post my re-revised list here too.
