(Another) new starter looking for list help

Morning all, I've finally taken the plunge and started collecting, so humbly request some advice on a list I've been thinking about.

First off, I've never played a game of WHFB/TOW in my life, and am definitely just in it for the fun. Secondly, I bloody love the Infantry aesthetic so my list theories are built around that. My objective is to field an Army that won't immediately melt, so I can roll some dice and figure the game out as I go along. Not looking to go meta.

My general principle is that all of my army units are drilled to provide maximum flexibility to react, and that ideally I want to be redirecting the enemy to my main block of Greatswords so that I can fix and flank them. As objectives are now more important it seems, I've also kept unit strengths in core that allow me to peel stuff off and hold objectives, with enough support to last a round or two.

I've put the list below, any advice would be gratefully received - thank you! 😁

Also, if anyone happens to be in the Herefordshire/Shropshire/Welsh marches area, let me know - I don’t have anyone to play with currently.
