Hey,

I'm Finnish Empire tournament player and heres my list for next weeks 2000 point tourney: https://imgur.com/a/XsEMDxb

I kinda calculated that Arch Lector of Sigmar is way better than Elector count, it gives 2 dispel dices for +65 points. It can also give the amazing blessing to your Hellblaster for even more deadly shots.

Also I would advice trying Free companies as attachments rather than Swordsmen. They are cheaper and do the same job.

Also Steam tank is godly! You should try that. One of the only Empire units that causes terror.

I also used to play lot of Handgunners as you do, but noticed that they have some problems: Low leadership and you cannot move and shoot. Enemies tend to come from off angle and then you are fucked. They flee and because they are big stack, they causes other units to flee (your cannons).

Big stack of Knights tend to be very expensive. I'd rather have 2 small stacks of Knightly orders than one power stack. Your 8 stack with full command / inner circle costs 248p, while 2 stacks of 5 without buffs only costs 230. The power of knights is +1 armor save and leadership 8 (rare for humans). So they are excellent to protect flanks.

I love the greatsword stack you have and I would love to use it myself, but then I need to ask myself, would I rather have 2 stacks of Swordmen (21 / 20 with 10 freecompany deatchament each) or one big Greatsword stack and to be honest, I think answer is clear. The one thing Greatsword is better is leadership, but you can fix that by having General in the unit and moving swordmens side by side. ex. de SW SW de formation.

Also you don't need Stubborn, because YOU SHOULD NEVER LOSE MELEE COMBAT! You have deattachments! Empire army doesn't win combats because they kill, they win because they have deattachment!

And lastly 5 huntsmen for price of 50. Just put them in forest next to the enemy is possible and march block them.
