Personally I'd drop the Rune on the Stone Thrower and the Thunderers, and get another unit of 15 warriors with shields and heavy armor, but thats just me.

For the price of the stonethrower and rune you could have two bolt throwers, one with the rune of burning to give it magical attacks and give the commander the rune of fire on his hand weapon to give him magical attacks. Keep the thunderers as you will need something with a stand and shoot reaction in 500 pts and the bonuses that thunderers have may give you the edge in this small a battle, being able to move and shoot will be the difference I think in your games rather than being given the run around by the enemy. The two runes I mentioned earlier will give you some defence (offense) against any ethereal creatures

Ethereal creatures in a five hundred point battle?

Why not? If you've got no magic weapons and a low manouvreability how else are you going to kill something like a banshee, wight or spirit host? You aint going to get them into combat on your terms are you so shoot them wth your magic boltthrower. Also necromancer with cloak of mists and shadows, perfectly legal in 500pts.

I don't need to wrry about ethereal creatures. None of my friends play VC. Since I don't need to worry about VC is it a good list? The armies I will play against are OnG, various Chaos, Empire, DE, and possobly a Dwarf army. If I needed to I can always get magic things for ethereal hunting.
