army makeup

As part of my intro to warhammer, I was invited to an escalation campaign. The campaign is a series of 6 skirmishes / battles. The final battle has a 1000 pt army limit.

Next thing on the agenda is to figure out how to fill out the remainder of my high elves army. The island of blood comes with the following high elf troops...

10 Lothern Sea Guard
10 Sword Masters
5 Ellyrian Reavers
1 Mage
1 Prince on Griffon

A couple points of interest with the island of blood box set.
1) There is only one core unit (Sea Guard).
2) The prince on a griffon won't be usable in a 1000 pt match.

My friend offered to sell me some old high elf spearman and archers that he had in storage for a great price. These units really will help fill out my missing core. I will attempt to use the prince on griphon as a commander on an eagle which avoids the lord / pts issue.

20 Archers 240 pts
20 Spearman 220 pts
10 Lothern Sea Guard 150 pts
10 Sword Masters 130 pts
5 Ellyrian Reavers 90 pts
1 Mage 95 pts
1 Commander on Eagle 120 pts

Total 1045 pts

I am also considering some additions
100 pts for magic items (max for campaign)
2x bolt thrower for 200 pts
This leaves me with 345 pts to cut.

10 Archers 120 pts
10 Lothern Sea Guard 150 pts
10 Sword Masters 130 pts
5 Ellyrian Reavers 90 pts
2 Bolt Throwers 200 pts
1 Mage 95 pts
1 Commander on Eagle 120 pts
Magic/command Items 95 pts

Total 1000 pts
