Starting Free People

[Uprising]

I have about 8000 points of old Empire lying around.  I have decide its time to get my old 8th ed tournament army and put them on rounds.  I have done some reading on the free people(let chat free people was a good read), and here are my thoughts:

• Demigryph are not oop, and slightly over costed(I have 18 of them )
• gryph hounds are your best friend
• hurricanum is needed/ amazing
• Hold the line is amazing
• Hand gunners are deadly with buffs. 
• Swordsmen are you friends, not haldiers(I have 150 of those buggers)

So, I would like some advice on playing them, but here are a mock list.  What do you guys think?  Thanks for your time. 

Leaders
Celestial Hurricanum With Celestial Battlemage (320)
Freeguild General (100)
- General

Battleline
30 x Freeguild Handgunners (300)
30 x Freeguild Handgunners (300)
30 x Freeguild Handgunners (300)
20 x Freeguild Guard (160)
20 x Freeguild Guard (160)

Units
20 x Freeguild Greatswords (320)
1 x Gryph-Hound (40)

Total: 2000/2000

I'm starting Free Peoples too. I figured the same about "Hold the Line" and Hurricanum. But i find Crossbowmen better than handgunners. If you have 30 of them, they shoot twice and with all the buffs (general and hurricanum aura) they make 60 shots hiting 2+, wounding 3+ and all wound rolls of 5+ have rending.

And since I start this army to rest a little from my horde goblin army, I will put some more points in Leaders ( maybe Luminark, battlemage on griffon, regular battlemage etc.). Mostly to have fun
