500 point empire list... escalation

I'm in an escalation league in Jacksonville, and we start at 500 points. I've never played anything outside of 2000-2500. What do I do with empire at 500 points? Here is what I was thinking.

Captain of the Empire-
great weapon
horse with barding
full plate
shield

Inner Circle Knights-
6x with lances
standard barer
musician

Knightly Orders-
5x with great weapons
musician

Knightly Orders-
5x with lances
musician

17 models. Seems so sparse. Is this the case for most all other armies? 1+ and 2+ saves seems really good at this level though. The great weapon unit will give me the ability to deal with things that str 3 lance knights might not be able to in a head on charge. Obviously the inner circle knights are pretty crucial to hold my middle, so the captain goes with them to give hold the line.

Sounds like a fun, fast list to play.

Let me know how you like it. At that small points level you really are forced to either go for cheap hordes or a small block of elites.

Looks awesome to me. Let us know!
