If you're going with Danes, give them Thrusting Spears. They're Close Order all around, and a bit more defensive, especially paired with Anglians.
Same for the Bondi, except combine the two spear units. Nine Close Order Bondi aren't going to get much of anything done. You'll have to get the points for command from somewhere, but I think the list is a couple over anyway. Drop one of the Hersir and you'll be just fine, might even be able to add in a Thrall unit.

Not sure on the Anglians just yet(either size list). Aside from the Eorl, actually. He really doesn't need to be on a horse, floating about away from your units. Again, the army is largely defensive and needs to hold steady, so keep the General right in the thick of it. He especially doesn't need to be in such a small cavalry unit. You might want to beef them up to 8-10. I'd start with dropping an Ealdorman, then maybe some of the Gebur from the big unit.

but i was planning on cruise missiling him to an early death to gain hatred

idea behind the 48 man units is to fall back in good order should i lose combat.

didnt realize the danish rules then. was planning on running bondi as skirmishers.

Gaining Hatred is nice and all, but do you really want to lose 4pts toward Army Break Point for it? Looks like you'd start at 16, so you'd only have 8 to go just for losing that unit.
The big unit isn't terrible really, but the cavalry isn't good at that size and the best way to get a few points to bulk it out is to shrink the unit a bit and drop an Ealdorman. The Danish rules just modify Bondi to T4 and Ld 7, the normal rules make them Close Order unless they have bows, in which case they become Light Infantry.
