Ok, so am a returning player, who mainly played douring 5th and 6th edition start, skipped the whole 7th edition and am now returning into the game after many years. I am playing a friendly "learning" game against a Dark Elf army and my opponent will try to go easy on me, so as not to crush my spirit from the get go

Here is what i was thinking for a tutorial game:

HE 1500pts.

Lords:
Archmage, lvl 4, book of hoeth, talisman of endurance 305pts. (joins sea guard, what lore should i use?)

heroes:
Lothern Sea Helm, bow, BSB 129pts. (joins sea guard)

Core:
34 seaguard, FC 404pts.

5 reavers, musician, bows 105pts.

5 reavers, musician, bows 105pts.

Special:
15 swordmasters, FC 225pts.

15 swordmasters, FC 225pts.

total: 1498pts.

So what does the list look like? I know less than 2000pts is a bit hard for the elves because they are so expencive, but could this list work in general? What would you suggest i should change? I still have more seaguard, but i guess i could use them as regular spearmen to save points, but other than that i have only some more swordmasters and 12 dragon princes, another mage and some odd models to use. Any suggestions would be welcome.

No tips? Not even on the lore of the archmage?
