I'm brand new to Warmachine, although I've been reading the rule book for a month, and have a game in a week.
How does this roll for a 10 point list, in a not too competitive setting?

This gives me an arc node, tool box caster and a decent amount of range threat, however, I'm sure I'm missing something.
Enlighten me, and throw your thoughts and insights in.
Thanks.

I've never heard of anyone playing 10pts battles 
I would recommend if starting ROS to get the battlebox and 2 Mage Hunter assassins. With that you'll have a 15pts army [I thinks], with a toolbox caster, a couple of strong and useful warjacks, and a 2 lots of the most OP and damaging solo in the game.

Thus, After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men are seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd

Thanks for the input guys.
Yeah, 10pts seemed small (specially compared to 40k, ha), but my friends told me it was just for the first couple games, to get everything set straight in regards to play, and so we could get a couple games in a night.
I'll look into the assassins. Damn, they seem nasty.
Thanks again.

They are, but to be fair Mage Hunter Strike Force are pretty bad-ass too. Just to learn the rules, what you've mentioned will be just fine - a unit, and arc node and a couple of jacks, though understand you'll be very much looking for an assassination victory, as the chances are you won't be able to do much damage to enemey heavy jacks - MHSF (Mage Huter Strike Force) can do some work on that front, but will only be slowly scratching ARM19-20 jacks, and even boosted attacks from your lights won't be that much better.
But yeah, don't worry much at that sort of point levels, it's just fun and learning at that point, and I'm sure whoever is giving you a game will point out a few things for you
