I would help if the prince had a horse, if he was going in the dragon princes.

The shield of merwyrm does give him a 4+ parry ward, but it won't protect against stomps, artillery or other shooting. Its also not usable when mounted.

The Prince had the points for a horse, just forgot to add it when i made the post. Shield of the merwyrm swaped for a regular shield. Thanks for the help.

Archmage - Looks fine
Prince - I would give him Dawnstone and Enchanted Shield for the 1+/1+ and maybe Dragon Armour if you points to spare
BSB - I would upgrade the Heavy Armour to Dragon Armour to have a 2++ against fire and 6++...worth the extra 6 points.
Archers - Personally I think you should drop the light armour and just give them musician for better mobility. HE core isn't great and don't really need to invest in them
Reavers - A tad too expensive in my opinion. I would either drop the musician or drop the weapon upgrades (i try to keep mine under 100 points at a general rule of thumb
Helms - Looks good but I would personally get a champion in for a) challenging accepting / issuing b) more attacks

DPs - Looks good
PGs - again would include champion
RBTs - looks good
Eagle - maybe too many? Considering you will have 4 redirectors?

Overally I would drop some PGs and 1 GE for the upgrades mentioned above.

Looks decent to me although I always try and get a dispel scroll in when I can. Have you thought about including a lvl1 or lvl2 heavens caster for support (with the scroll)? You could get this guys in several ways: dropping some points from core i.e. removing the spears and musos from the reavers as I don't really think they are required for them to work and dropping some PG as that unit is pretty huge at the mo. I've had a lot of success with just 24 of them. The Star Lance on the DP champ is useful but also a lot of points on a 1W character, I know why you have it but this could also go for the mage which might give you a little more utility I think.
