Let me show the list I worked in. I'm looking for advice from more experienced players, so thank you in advance. Allegiance: Cities of Sigmar- City: Living CityMortal Realm: GhyranLeadersNomad Prince (120)- General- Command Trait: Ironoak ArtisanSpirit of Durthu (300)- Artefact: Spear of the HuntBattleline5 x Sisters of the Thorn (130)- Lore of Leaves: Cage of Thorns20 x Sisters of the Watch (320)20 x Sisters of the Watch (320)Units6 x Vanguard-Palladors (340)- Boltstorm Pistols and Shock Handaxes Total: 1530 / 2000 This is the "core" of the army. I'm pretty sure I want the Nomad Prince being my general so I can have 3 battlelines in form of 2 unit of Sis of the Watch (to do the pew-pew) and 1 Sis of the Thorn (to support my entire army with mobility). I also like the combo of Spirit of Durthu + Vanguard-Palladors to be hidden in the path and alpha striking with a combination of shooting, melting away and charging with the Spear of the hunt. I was considering instead Palladors using the much more expensive Fulminators/Concussors or the cheaper Prosecutors, but I think that Palladors fit the role. So this leave me with 470 spare points. What I feel that my army need is some kind of anvil and/or bodies to put in the battlegorund. I'm considering this two options. Option 1: Anointed (100)- City Role: General's Adjutant 20 x Phoenix Guard (320)- City Role: Honoured Retinue (Must be 5-20 models)Extra Command Point (50) Total: 470+1530 / 2000 I think phoenix guards are one of the best units in Cities, and I like the combo with an Anointed. Of course I lack the points for putting the Anointed in a top of a phoenix. No wizards in this list and still 50 spare points in a command point. Option 2: Battlemage (110)- Lore of Leaves: Lifesurge- Mortal Realm: Azyr Sorceress (90)- Lore of Leaves: Ironoak Skin- City Role: General's Adjutant 20 x Black Guard (260)- City Role: Honoured Retinue (Must be 5-20 models) Total: 460+1530 / 2000 So this option add wizards to the list, with the combo of Sorceress + Black Guard. I think that Black guard is much worse than the phoenix guard, and maybe 2 wizards is too much. I feel that any of theese lists are well-rounded. Maybe there are more options (in Cities, Sylvaneth or StormCast) that I am unare of. Maybe we can tweak the list to fit better units or better numbers. Maybe I'm over estimating some combinations of units. What do you think guys?

I was thinking aswell in start to build a 1000 points army and I faced the same problem: I dont have enough units to include 2 units of Sylvaneth. But... Could I just make one of the Sylv units an ally? Could this "solve" the problem?
