Ok, let me spot some errors.
- Your warrior priest on foot will not be able to use his enchanted shield in close combat, because his great weapon requires two hands to use, check p. 90 of BRB (the rulebook).
- Also, the minimum size of a knights unit is 5 models, check p. 91 of our army book.
- I think you forgot to mention that the mounted captain is the Battle Standard Bearer (BSB). If he's just a captain, make him the BSB.

Suggestions:
- I think 30 halberdiers are too few. I would like them to be 50, but other people think that 40 are enough. I would drop the warrior priest on foot to find the points. He won't help much if the unit breaks and flees anyway.
- I would give the Banner of the Eternal Flame to the demigryphs, and try to find the points to take 4 of them. You don't need the champion, just take a musician and a standard bearer if you give them the flaming banner.
- I would also drop the champion from the 5 knights unit (nilla knights).
- Give the halberdiers and IC knights a musician.

Questions: Why is your wizard on a horse? Where are you going to put him and what lore is he using?
