This is what I can field now. But I am not certain about the warriors. I shaved some points on the princes magical kit to make room.
Either that or I fiels the warriors with light armour.

Still, is there anything I should take instead of the warriors?

I really wish I had more Silver helms, RBT:s or chariots but this is what there is at the moment.

I have 20 Seaguards in reserve and could make 15-16 more spearelves and maybe 4-5 more archers from my bits.

Suggestions?

I don’t know the specifics of the Warhammer Armies Project. In general though, I like the Griffon and Lions because they focus killing power and offer ways of not getting bogged down in long combats. Having a reasonable amount of shooting and magic should always be helpful.

I think warriors are too expensive for what you get. HE just don't do generic infantry all that well. It's too expensive to field in large numbers to bog opponents down, and it's not strong enough to seriously threaten anything worth threatening.

But that might just be me of course. I've also not got a decent answer on what you should bring instead. Probably more close combat power, though an extra RBT could be nice as well.
