Elf Bowman on their stands, Kingdom Background idea

Elves firing arrows, and my Kingdom background idea

So after many months and a failed attempt foiled by old Games Workshop glue, I have finally got 2 units of Oathmark on their stands.

It's two units of 10 Elf Archers from North Star Elf Infantry boxed set. I wanted Elf Archers because they have a very good chance of activating every turn, they are good shots who can fire at anything in range (and not just the closest target) and then can fire OVER units in front of them. 

I didn't put knives on them because it's less to paint if I don't. And they should never BE in close combat....right? One man in each unit has a standard and another a helmet as a Sargent. The standard bearer will be the unit champion which makes it very obvious. I want a flag on them as well, maybe a long triangle one.

Started to put the Oathmark army together..and hit a roadblock

Here is the boxes for my planed 2500 point army. It lacks the Dwarf CatapultCannon and OgresPolar Bear Cavalry.

I will use them as: Elf Rangers, Elf Archers, Human Spearmen, Goblin Wolf riders and Wolf rider scouts, Human soldiers and Human Linebreakers.

The first units I plan on building are two units of 10 Elf Archers. Each infantry division in my army has one attached for fire support. Their low activation number, better than normal range (22" instead of 20"), aimed and fire over abilities make them the best archer unit in the game. They are also the most expensive archer units so can't be taken in large units.
