High Elf 1000pt Shooty

Ok so this is the shooty list, definitely a force that needs a bunch of support. Got some ranged punch with the bolt throwers, Alith Anar (36" range S7 bolt thrower) and the mage (Reaver bow, S4, 30" multiple shots (3) )

1000pt High Elf Heavy Cavalry

OK,

So I have come up with a simple themed heavy cavalry force for the 1000pt list.
The goal was to have fewer models than Paul   :)
This army would pair up well with any normally quite static army ie dwarves.
Prince goes with Silver helms, Mage with dragon princes. Prince gives the silver helms some extra punch, Mage helps boost the dragon princes and provides the extra ward save. (They have a basic ward of 6+, and the High Magic lore ability increases ward save by +1 with every casting.)

I'm going to also throw together a shooty list.

Skycutter Chariot

This is the base model with a couple of lances to act as struts. They are going to be cut off just in front of the hands then glued to the 'nacelles' I sculpted into the green stuff.

3 Gryphons

So as the image shows I have 3 of the IoB Gryphon riders. I have seen a couple of full on conversions where people have stripped the rider off completely and run the monster as an eagle (very cheap flyer unit for High Elves). Or I was thinking of stripping the wings off and having them as some kind of allied monstrous cavalry eg Demigryphs, or house ruling in something for them. Basically I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. The paint Job on the one at the back left is bad enough that I would happily attempt to do any and all conversions on that one first :)
