Complete this party

I am starting the game again with a new party, but i can't make up my mind on the 5the and 6th character, some advise would be appreciated:

1-Aasimar battelguard of tempus (uses axes/14str,10dex,14con,10int,20wis,12char)
2-Aasimar druid (uses polearms/14str/14dex/14con/10int/20wis/8char)
3-Thiefling wizard (uses quarterstaff/10str/14dex/14con/20int/10wis/10char)
4-Thiefling rogue (uses small blades/10str/20dex/14con/14int/10wis/10char)
5-Shield dwarf fighter (uses warhammer,flail,mace)
6-High elf fighter (uses long and bastard swords)

Note 1: all my characters will be of neutral alignment this time so paladin is not an option.

Note 2: I never multi- or dualclass.

Note 3: i'm NOT a powergamer

Like i said before: all advise is welcome. Who do you ppl think should be the leader? Should i pick a different race for char 5 and/or 6?? Should i make one of those fighters a barbarian? etc...

Well... i think it will be o.k... party but i would change that tiefling wizard in to some other race sorcerer... and as for battle quard of tempos... i would change it to painbearer of ilmater... Why ilmater cleric well then he/she will learn 1 horrid... wich will make nice team stradegy first cleric and sorcerer casts symbol of stun... then cleric cast his/hers horrid druid casts fire storm and sorcerer horrid or dealyed fireball... this works fine in normal but i haven't tried this on HoF... (i had only those 3 party members but i think it will be ok with some warriors...) and there is no high elf on iwd2.... so you must mean either drow, wild elf or moon elf...

My mistake, idd i meant moon elf. As for the battleguard, i chose him because they get all spells like bless,chant,recitation,prayer and even summon undead as domain spells, i like those very much. On top of that there is the 2 extra skills (axe specialisation) so thats why i love batteleguards so much although i must admit dreadmaster can make me doubt.

I have never played painbairer actually but i think there are some very nice ilmater-related quests furhter in the game, am i right? (in any case, i'm going to look into painbairer and see if change my mind)

Lastly i have always preferred wizard above sorcerrer because of my playing style, this is very subjectif off course but thnx for your input!

a moon elf would be better as a wizzard then a fighter... just a thought
