Looks fine to me, I would change a couple of things though.

1. The noble, he doesn't need sacred incense. He needs something to do damage with, either a Sword of Might which I like on a mounted character since it gives him S5 all the time. You could also give him a lance which is cheaper.

2. 2 units of 5 swordmasters are just going to die. I would combine them to a single unit and deploy them 7 wide with 3 guys in the second rank. the points saved from dropping the Sacred Incense gives you another swordmaster.

3. This is more of a personal preference thing, but in 1000 points and with a single mage I like to give him a Jewel of Dust so that he has 5 power dice. The downside is of course that you might roll up spells that you rarely can cast but if you pick a lore with mostly good spells such as High, Fire, Death you will be fine most of the time.

what angel said about your noble. Or you can give him a helm of fortune + sword of might to give him a 1+ re-rollable armour save

for the mage I prefer to give him seerstaff of saphery + scroll. Get to pick my spells which can come in handy

5 swordmasters are really useless minimum would be 7 SM in 1 unit.

If you are getting 2 RBT i would suggest getting either some Ellyrian Reavers or Shadow Warriors for march blocking and redirecting!
