15 man unit of swordsman with duelist and banner
20 spearmen with shields, standard, and general
5 man unit of inner circle knights with standard and precept
1000
Lvl2 Battle wizard (with spearmen)
Witch Hunter w/ brace of pistols
Warrior Priest w/ heavy armor+shield (with greatswords)
15 man unit of swordsman with duelist and banner
20 spearmen with shields, standard, and general
10 man unit of inner circle knights with standard and precept
10 man unit of handgunners w/ marksman + Repeater handgun
11 man unit of Greatswords w/ standard
1500
Lvl2 Battle wizard (with spearmen)

I think the points on your core units is off a bit.

Anyway, looks fine, I would boost out your swordsmen block and give them full command,
and maybe some small detachments, for a lore probably fire or life?
