Magic defence is probably OTT. I think you could drop one of the runesmiths, shuffle items around and not be much worse off. Remember that against non-magic-heavy armies, all those points are going to be doing very little.

Second, Why the bolt throwers? Cannons are much better. Switch them for cannon with rune of forging, and maybe burning.

Third, and main point, I'm not convinced by your troops choices. You have semi-steadfast blocks (assuming they have shields?) and some crossbows, but nothing that will actually hurt the enemy once combat starts. Remember an Anvil is only any use if you have a hammer coming to help as well - simply put, it's all about the great weapons. How about:
39 Warriors, GW, FC
39 Warriors, GW, FC
20 Rangers, GW, FC (These could be based on crossbowmen or warriors - crossbows are often useful here.)
For your 1000ish points of core?

cool thanks for the input,

the rangers have great weapons and both blocks have shields. i can enlarge both units as i have 25 spare painted warriors

i have 2 cannons that i can paint but at present i opped to take boltthrowers, which i could take.

i like all the anti magic, if i cant cast spells then noone can :-) played a vampire army in the weekend and totally shut down his magic! he didnt get a single spell off, it was brilliant

i have a game on friday vs wood elves to practise on, and will see how this list goes and will look at changing it if needed

[Khorneflakes]

well the game we rolled up was "the watchtower" and i won it in the 5th turn fighting off 16 dryads in the tower. will need to change my bosses stuff as he wasnt hitting very well or wounding, so i will give him the +1ws rune (so he is hitting on 2s most of the time) , +1str rune (which he has) and rune of burning (as he can reroll wounds against people in buildings).

1st time using rangers and they went brilliant, ran all over the table, drove off some warhawk riders, bashed over a treeman (well took 3 wounds off him and he outran us) smashed the warhawks again trying to protect my general who was fighting them and overran them down!

anvil of doom was used every turn on regular power moving units around and never misstriked it

overall a great game just very very tense haha

I know you said you liked it but way to much anti magic, I play a single runelord on foot at 2k and very rarely do my opponents get off a spell that isn't Irresistable. Cut one smith for sure and add the MR of balance, it by itself is a better defence than another smith. With half this much defence you will be just as magic proof
