First Ever HE Army List

So just FYI before I come off looking like a fool....I am pretty new at making my own army lists from scratch...

That being said, I'm trying to work it so the core of the Army is from what I got from two IoB box sets, and with adding in some other guys. Its a 2000 point army, just wondering what you guys think, should I try it out or go a different route. I plan on working it up to 3K points and putting in some White Lions of Chrace and Phoenix Guards... but Ive been too lazy to write it out...


Althran Stormrider High Prince – Armor of Fortune, Lance, Hand Weapon, Griffon
397pts

High Elf Mage (1 mage) - Level 2 upgrade, Staff of Channeling, riding in Tiranoc Chariot
235pts

Lothern Sea Guard (2 units) x10(Full CMD)
310pts

Sword Masters of Hoeth (2 units) x10 (Full CMD)
360pts

Ellyrian Reavers (2 units) x5
210pts

Lion Chariot of Chrace (2chariots)
280pts

Repeater Bolt thrower (2 throwers)
200 Pts
Total: 1992pts

It's ok u should make the 2 units of 10 to 20 and but reavers together also Mage it a lvl 4 Mage u will need the magic and get some either Phoenix guard or more sword masters and probally archers and spear men to fill in the core

Do you own HE models? If so - list what you own and i can help you put a good competitive list together. if you just want to play for fun with a bunch of models that's ok too.

Lincoln - Yea I own some HE.. I have 2x bolt throwers and 2x chariots on order that'll be here next week, but for quick ref this is what I got on hand

20x Lothern Sea Guards (2x SeaMasters, 2xMusician, 2xStandard Bearer, 14xGuards)
20x Swordmasters of Hoeth (2xBladelords, 2xMusicians, 2xStandard Bearer, 14xSwords)
20x Spearmen
10x Ellyrian Reavers
2x Mage
2x Prince Althran on Griffon
1x Lion Chariot of Chrace

Any help with a good list would be awesome, then I can direct my buying next week rather than getting more of what I might not need..... thx man
