It is relatively unusual to have an IC and an FC in the same army. Most of the time the extra command radius of rht FC won't really be of any use. One way your FC could be good though would be to lead a flank march where being an FC is a significant benefit.

Other than that it looks like a reasonable list to start with. BGs of 4 bases can be a bit brittle as when they lose one base thay have taken 25% losses and also when shot at 2 hits will force a cohesion test and it will be at -1 while 6 bases though they would still need to test there would be no -1.

Ok so I should take a FC and two TC ?
Or IC and two TC ?

May have too many bases of MF, Bow, however if rebased you can use them as supporting archers for Legionaries/Auxillia or as seperate skirmishers.

I have found at 650 points most people seem to go for as many TC commanders as they can.

As an aside, why is it the only time you ever roll a 12 in FoG is when you are rolling for a general after you have thumped an opposing BG ?

Because your opponent should be the one rolling to kill your general.

Why spoil the beauty of the thing with facts!
