I'm thinking this will be the base of my High Elves army. I
have magic, a BSB, 2 blocks, a flyer, etc. From here, I can
figure out what I want to change.

Later, I think I can swap out Dragon Princes in favor of
Silver Helms and Chariot, in case I need more hammers
rather than stronger one. I'm not sure if it's a great idea,
but having a Wood Elf army I'm kind of low on the chariot
experience, so it would be fun to give it a go.

if you do go for a chariot deffinitly use the lion chariot of chrace. people fear it so it can become a fire magnet anf if they ignore it the lions are nothing to scoff at though they do not benefit from the always goes fist rule. and silverhelms are a deffinite go. the problems with dragon princes are that they are more expensive cant soak up as much damage if however your enemy happens to be a pyromaniac with little reagards for just shooting the hell out of the unit theyr immune to that and of course the extra magic weapon always helps. also i dont know how effective the ellyrian reavers will be i dont use them myself since they lack the bonus to strength and constantly moving around means a decreased shot effectiveness. if your using them as a light flanker or a warmachine killer go for some shadow warriors if you can make that work thier ws5 and scout/skirmish abilities make up for being forward deployed. other than that my motto is you cant have enough bolt-throwers and since thier secondary ability means they can deal 5 str5 -2 to armor shots they can mow down ranked infantry.

Lion chariots are not worth the additional points over Tiranoc chariots. 140 points for a chariot is ridiculous - chaos ones are only 100!

Dropping the elite units so either 12 strong (12 x 2) or 13 (7+6) is best giving you a few extra points. Its a nice list really, lots of solid units, solid magic phase offensively and defensively, lots of tactical options.

I would personally dump the bolt thrower for an extra eagle or two - they really help out elite infantry formations - and possible mount the BSB with shield + lance for a 2+ save for him? You do not want him dying!

Hope this all helps, its really quite nice.
