Some will consider three repeater bolt throwers beardy. You can drop the light armor and lion cloak from your noble. Armour of Caledor makes both of them redundant.

Would be enjoyable to play against.

Lots of units, some decent shooting and magic. With the Guard you have a nice anvil and with the White Lions you have a stubborn hammer unit.

Solid list. 3 decent sized units with a hammer/anvil approach and something for every phase.
As thegoat mentioned, you can drop the light armour and cloak from the noble, pick up an ironcurse icon or cheap something in its place.
One thing I think is with 2 eagles and 2 ellyrian reavers is that they both provide fast moving bump stop/movement units.
Personally I like small units of silver helms with shields over reavers. Yes they arent as fast, but much harder to kill and generally do better vs other chaff units. Though finding the points may be an issue.
