A single Wizard lord is lacking in punch.  If you want to go magic heavy, at least add another level 2 wizard.

Have you considered making him a level 2 and getting a Elector Count?  Then you can give the griffon banner to some troops.

Does the marksmen with the pistollers have a repeater pistol?  If not, then save the points and drop the marksman.  That will prevent a challenge from an e character and let you attack a enemy character in a unit with 2 pistoller and 2 horse attacks.

Other than that, its a good list.

I am not looking for magic heavy, just defense against magic heavy, or exploiting no magic from the enemy with the Rod of Power. The griffon banner would be nice, but I don't know if it would be worth giving up a mortar or equivalent to get it.

He sure does have it, it must not have shown up on the conversion.

Thanks for the review!! Any other thoughts from anyone?
