The dragon prince really needs a ward.

The 5 silverhelms will be better off with a muso rather than champ due to the look out sir not working, and the banner is dubious just because you will lose a 33 point model if the unit breaks from combat.

I intend to use the 5 Silver Helms in tandem with my Dragonlord so that he doesn't get challenged out, the standard is on them so they don't bleed combat res.

I like it.
However I find that kind of silverhelm bus very hard to work without the banner, which you probably didn't take for comp reasons. With life you are kind of protected against miscast, but you really have no magical threats. I would at least give one of the mages the ring of fury so you have a good magic missile.
Next thing I noticed was the fact, that you don't have any scroll, really?

Other then that, I think it is a very strong and offensive build.

The scroll is -7 and the Ring of Fury -5 under Swedish. Yes, this is the only reason I haven't taken either item. I could take the Fireball ring and take no comp from that, something to consider I guess. In terms of magical threats, I am happy to use my superior dice skill and 6 dice Dwellers given the right target. Losing a Level 2 to the miscast isn't a big deal given I have another Level 2 and the potential reward involved.

Ahh, sorry I'm not very familiar with the swedish comp system.

Well it's not really about the wizard, it's more about the damage that miscast will cause to your helm bus. If your opponent dispels throne, would you the dare to 6 dice anything? It is potentially a lot of dead silver helms.
It may be a bit alternative, but have you considered running these to lvl. 2's in a shadow warrior bunker? With your dragon, 2 phoenixes and a strong silver helm bus with 2 characters, your opponent should have his hands full.
Then I would probably pick high magic for the awesome walk between worlds. It will go very well for your type of list.

Yes dwellers vs miscast = dewellers always wins
