needlessly expensive. Take the armour of caledor and the vembraces of defence and you'll have a better save (the 2+ will be rerollable) for less points.

would be a nice set up if you could manage it, but thats 3 arcane iems when each character can only have 1... so you'll have to choose the one you like and drop the others.

Its a fine list, personally I think it needs either shadow/death/life on the Lv2 mage at the very least in order to make thoes S3/T3 elves strong enough, or the enemy weak enough to counter some of the nastier enemy units such as warriors of chaos, temple guard or empire knights, which heavens or high lores just wouldnt hope to scratch.
Personally I would use shadows/death on the archmage and metal on the mage- gives you a powerful mage to help you against hoardes (and with pit of shaes/purple sun you have something to smash low I units like dwarves, ogres, plaguebearers, lizardmen and the undead... not a bad list) with back up from someone capable of smashing heavy armour (2D6 2+ woundings with no save on a heavy cav unit is pretty lethal, and since its the signature spell you'll always get it if you want).
