I made a list of some potential good RoRs and tried to make an army of them. I tuned the army down to make it a 2250 pts list and this is the result. (Keep in mind that I haven't played Dogs of War in large pointsUndecided. Actually, I haven't played Warhammer at all latelyWink)

2250pts list

- Wizard Lord, lvl 4, Pegasus, Dispel Scroll, Power Stone 290
- Wizard, lvl 2, Warhorse, Dispel Scroll, Power Stone 155
- Paymaster, Barded Warhorse, Heavy armour, Enchanted shield, Lance 87
- Anarsil the Dragonlord 460

- Voland’s Vendators (5) 195
- Ricco’s Republican Guard (22) (paymaster here) 324
- Duelists (8) pistols, M 82
- Duelists (8) pistols, M 82
- Beorg Bearstruck and the Bearmen of Urslo (20) 335
- Giant 205

5DD+2scrolls 8SD+2stones
2 large targets
2 flyers
68 models
Total: 2215 points

So now I’m wandering if this could work? What should be improved and what to do with the leftover points.

Any comment is welcome.
Thanks in advance

Pistol duellists work out to be 72 points, not 82. So that's another 20 points you can mess with.
My thoughts are. You can't go wrong with Fast Cavalry. Great redirectors.

I personally like having some Crossbows in my force. Especially after fighting the new Skaven, I use them to pick out weapons teams which are plain nasty.

People will likely tell you to take out the Republican Guard though and make more use of those points. Probably also to demount your wizard lord, as he's a target on his Pegasus (as he can't join units).
It's not a bad list, aggressive and fighty.

I generally second the comments above. The Wizard Lord must be your General, and on a Pegasus, he's an easy target. Ricco's Guard is one of the better Pike units, but you'd probably do better replacing them with Light Cav and units of 2 Maneaters (as long as you have the Specials).

In this list, Crossbows probably aren't a great choice, as you're trying for a knife fight, not a shooting match.

Of course that’s true, my mistake. Thanks for the replies.
I will certainly dismount my mage (perhaps put him on a warhorse though) and with the spare points I will include some the light cavalry. I keep the Republican Guard, or at least in the beginning to try them, but the Maneaters seem a solid second choice in case I keep losingWink
