Any input or suggestions?

I'm interested in your experience with spearelves. I tend to take Seaguards instead.

I'm mainly wondering if 1 RBT is enough. I'm not sure how you could improve it or how you'd fit a second one in the list. Perhaps drop some command models / magic items. But even for HE, I find 1 bolt thrower always a bit hit or miss. It doesn't do enough damage to make it a viable threat on its own.

Other than that, it looks like a fun list, with something happening in each phase.

You may drop the eagle for that, I field my Sisters without the High Sister, and smalll units of SH's go without command as well.

I would field a second RBT if I just owned one. It is high on my "need to get" list, together with more Silver helms and some Ellyrian reavers.

Since the Silver helms are, as pointed out, rather few to warrant a hero leading them I figure droping the mounted noble.

But should I put him in the Lion chariot (It is designed so one of the riders can be a hero).
Or should I have him riding an Eagle?

Or just help the Lions or spears?

Why not put him on foot, give him the BSB and put him in the spears?

I already have a dedicated BSB so that role is taken.

But I do need a general and it feels wrong to give one of my lv2 mages that position.

I have edited the list and left the post of General as vacant.

I have 187 points to play with.

I am toying with the idea of fielding a unit of Sea guard instead of the Archers

A bit late perhaps, but putting your general on an eagle could work. He's got great mobility, as well as an extra wound and point of T (I think at least). It should be fun and get him where he needs to be. I favor that over putting him a Lion Chariot. He's about as durable, but is a lot more mobile, though he hits less hard on the charge.
