Any thoughts?
I don't have my book with me so can't check the points, but I think your core might not be enough.  You need 600+ points of core for 2400.

Other than that It looks pretty solid, maybe try to make the IG unit a bit bigger if you can?
There is only news.  There is no good or bad.
you are right i think i might drop the yhetees for 3 more IGs

Edit: i just had a thought. if i switch the banner of flame on the IG unit with the standard of discipline so i can have the flame banner on my bsb to move him between the IGs and ledies.
Yeah switch banners between Ironguts and your BsB.

Dragonhide Banner also feels a little bit expensive to use on only 2 Mournfangs. I would not use a banner with only 2 models. Remember that If they break in combat the Standard Bearer will automatically get slain. Take a Musician instead so you can make swift reforms and move, and rally on +1 Leadership. If you want to use the banner I would remove yethees and add another Mournfang (You should have 3 since they come 3 in a box).

I would leave the Sickle at home and either take a Dispell Scroll or Hellheart. Give your Slaughtermaster General some protection to (Fencers Blades + Glittering Scales or Armour of Destiny). You have no magic weapons in your list at all. Etheral units will be a pain.

The champ on your Gnoblars are points wasted. They will die anyway as redirector or speedbumps.

If you have Sabretusk models add at least 2 of those babies.

As said previously you need to add some more core points (You only have 494 points).

Otherwise it seems like a fun list to play :)
Mournfangs only come 2 in a box. Sorry :)
no problem i just realized this is my 2k point list (i just spent half an hour on adding 400 points) so I've edited the main post to include the extra bits.

the main point of this was to have a big scary block of iron guts which everyone would inevitably attack so i have the Sicklemaster there to make sure they have regen for protection. the other units would then either redirect or soften up the other persons army until they were weak.
