1000pts, getting the army book tomorrrow...

[blood dragon!]

Sorry if any points values incorrect, nearly finished painting the models:

Mage: lv 1, Ring of fury (145)
Commander, heavy armour, shield, Randiant Gem of Hoeth (121)

--------
16 spearmen, standard, musician (159)
15 spearmen, standard, musician (150)

--------
15 swordmasters, full command (255)
5 shadow warriors (80)
--------
2 Great eagles (100)

Total: 1000pts

Think the great eagles have to be deployed individually, and have taken two core to have plenty of troops-can't wait to try the swordmasters!

Thanks in advance

I would actually split up that swordmaster unit, so that you have one unit of 7 and one unit of 8. Much better and you get a lot more attacks aswell. Or you could just drop 5 and get more spearmen for those points.

First to say after checking the book the list adds up to 1020pts (mage is 5pts overpriced and commander is 15pts overpriced and i added it up wrong!) so think losing some swordmasters and the shadow warriors?? would be best option to get some more spears.

I wrote the list as it was as that's pretty much all the models i own-that, a few more characters, 2 chariots and 16 silverhelms (will convert some into dragon princes).

So will come up with new list soon. Something like:

Mage: lv 1, Ring of fury (140)
Commander, heavy armour, shield, Randiant Gem of Hoeth (136)

--------
16 spearmen, standard, musician (159)
15 spearmen, standard, musician (150)

--------
12 swordmasters, full command (180)

--------
2 Great eagles (100)

Total: 865pts

Maybe add a chariot and buy a bolt-thrower to swap with a great eagle? Think i will try out the shadow warriors though as against other skirmishers and as general annoyance they will probably do ok. Just thought then could have 5 shadow warriors and a warbanner for the bigger spear unit (the one that will be lead by the mage) instead of taking the bolt-thrower. Then could also add 11 spearmen instead of bolt-thrower.

Both are very valid choices. The bolt thrower brings much needed firepower to the board while shadow warriors are good march blockers and warmachine hunters. You already have an eagle for that so IŽd go for the bolt thrower. Very powerful in small games.
