Toying with a 3000pt High Elf list

Im trying to not buy anything new, and go back and revisiting all the armys I have but never finished. Wich is pretty much all of em.
Ok heres the first try at a 3K list. Im enjoying playing games at that point level, so I'll be aiming all my armys for that level. Im after a mounted / swift army. So youll see alot of cavalry units and chariots. This makes them stand out from my other fantasy armys.



Lords
[281]Prince - Dragon Armour, Shield, Giant blade, Helm of forune, Talisman of loec, Barded steed.
Expensive I know, but a combat monster and a character killer! 4 ASF attacks at str 7 rerolling to hit and wound and making you reroll passed armour saves. He also has a 1+ save with rerolls to any that fail.
[360]Archmage - lvl 4 life, Seerstaff, Talisman of preservation
Standard Archmage build pretty much. Can choose spells and a 4++ save.
Heroes
[180]Noble - BSB, GW, Dragon Armour, Dawnstone Amulet of light, Barded steed.
A bit meh but not bad for a defensive BSB.
[155]Mage - lvl 2 shadow, Dispell scroll
Its a mage, nuff said. Shadows there so I can swap him with the Archmage should it ever look like he would be in trouble.

Core
[345]35 Spearmen - FC, gleaming pennant.
In a nice 5x7 formation for that steadfast boost. Gleaming pennant as they will be at the back protecting the AM and away from the BSB's bonus. Will be used to charge a unit getting close holding them up for a flank from the mounted units.
[148]13 Archers - Musician
Archers, nuff said.
[137]12 Archers - Musician
A mage in here
[137]12 Archers - Musician
A mage in here

Special
[240]14 Swordmasters - FC
flanking unit
[220]Whitelions - FC, Banner of Eternal flame
Hydra, Hellpit, whatever has bloody regen or is sat in a tower hunting unit.
[192]8 Silver helms - Mus
A means and ways to get my Lord into combat, nothing more. That rank will help me disrupt units when I get the flank. I hope!
[150]5 Dragon princes
Awesome unit, but not the Lord unit. They have a reputation and will be gunned down first.
[85]Tiranoc chariot
Something to support the charges from whatevers close by.

Rare
[100]Bolt Thrower
[100]Bolt thrower
Not great these days realy. But can still be fairly deadly. Specialy if theres a nice Shadow Debuff on its target.
[50]Eagle
[50]Eagle
Warmachine hunter and redirector.

Total - 2984

So got about 15 points to play with.... I would realy like the banner of sorcery too. But Im not overly bothered. Thoughts on the 3K? 2K list on the way soon.
