I'd drop Haldir for a Stormcaller. I think the Sentinel is worth it.

Pretty solid, althought I'd "downgrade" one, or possibly even two, of your Heroes in order to fit in some more models.

Never drop Rumil :) Downgrading him to a captain loses not just a point of Might, but that all-important special rule. He will more than make back the points difference no matter how small your army is.

Downgrading Thranduil to a stormcaller in a 500 point army is better, because at that point numbers count more than one blast of Nature's Wrath and his 2+ shooting. You get potentially more Nature's Wraths, and some extra warriors to take advantage of it.

+1 that Rumil is a no-brainer swap above a Captain for such a small point difference. I need to mock up some lists though regarding Thranduil. I always thought he was a good investment for his points even with just the one special rule. True, if you are tight on model count the extra points can be another 2 Elves potentially.

Your Army looks well-balanced, but you might want to consider Elven Cloaks for your Archers.
