Good morning everyone, this week will be my first battle since deciding to adopt The Empire as my first WFB Army. I've put together a list, but I'm looking for some suggestions as to how to spend the last ~100 points.

Warrior Priest
Heavy armour, Enchanted Shield, General

Battle Wizard
Level 1, Lore of beasts, Dispell Scroll

29 Halberdiers
FC, 2 x 12 Swordsman Detatchments

10 Archers
2 x Archer Detatchments

5 Knightly Orders

1 Great Cannon

Total - 904 Points

The intent with this list is to have my Halberdiers in horde formation up front, with the WP. The swordsman and archer detachments will be on the flanks as chaff/charge redirectors, and the parent archer unit will be in the back, acting as my wizard bunker. The Knights will be on the flank with the Cannon.

So what should I do with the extra points? Should I add more knights? Should I upgrade my WP to an AL, or my Wizard to a WL?

Easy really lolz, make your wizard lvl 2 for the extra +1 on spells and extra spell, and then more halberds.

Yeah, what he said.

Make your wizard a level 2
Dragon bane gem

Then upgrade your priest to an arch lector on foot.
Same gear plus a luck stone.

Better leadership and that should cost about 95 points

Good luck

Ps... Then your also saving money

Also in addition to what I fist said, run your halberd unit 5x6 so you get ranks, only run in hoard formation in units of 50+.
