to be honest i dont think 750 points is a good place to start building an army. Go for 1000 if your starting out. Then if you want to do battles with this point limit, then work around it.

But i think this army is good none-the-less, good shooting and decent combat, General wont do much without some magic gear i think:C, same for the mage. But again, you can work around it.

[Cyric the Mad]

Agreed - games under 1000pts seem pretty rare. If you're just working off the models you have at the moment, I'd at least start planning what you'll use to bump it to 1000.

Doesn't effect the list at all, but aren't Silver Helms a Special choice now?

They are indeed a special choice.

Even though they are rare, games under 1000 can actually turn up to be quite an adventure. By that I mean small pitched battles or...a campaign with a campaign tree. That kinds of things. A whole bunch of battles during an afternoon, can be a good way to forget its sunday, and almost monday

As for the army, I would probably drop the archers and the sentinel on the spearmen unit. This way, you probably are able to get another small unit of spearmen. Or some other units you like.
You could also turn and drop the mage, and focus more on your combat rather on your magic.

wops forgot that silver helms were special now

in my gw store u start at 500 then become better and play 750 then 1000
small games to enable more players to play i think
