WE don't really do combat that well, but if building for combat I would go defensive- annoyance of netlings, armour of silvered steel, merciw's locus and regeth's wildfire blades or warrior bane.
That gives you
- opponent only hits you on a 6+ in challenges
- 2+ save (shocking on a WE)
- no strength bonuses from magic/non-magic weapons for you or anyone hitting you
- flaming attacks and +1attack or loss of attacks for characters/monsters per wound inflicted
Personally I've never tried to build a highborn that way... I eitehr make him a machine gun lord (arcane bodkin+bow of loren) or use a treeman ancient. An ancient with annoyance of netlings can take on most things (other then those pesky cannonballs).
