40 Spearmen in one unit is vastly superior to 2x 24. 40 ASF attacks is nothing to sneeze at.

More Swordmasters > Phoenix Guard.

At 2400 points you need a L4 wizard.

8th edition is all about big combat oriented units. Combine the Spearmen and the Seaguard and make a big unit of Sea Guard. You'll also need full command for that squad.

The 8 Phoenix Guard aren't going to do a whole lot for you, I'd definitely shoot to expand them up to at least 15 models, again with full command.

The Arches could be divided into 2 squads if you want, depends on what's played in your local meta.

Hope that helps :)
