You are missing the best elementals there are imo: Maelstrom Wanderer: you get the cascades when you cast him with Hordes ability. If I get going with him in my deck I usually win. Mulldrifter: It's hard to not include this into any creaeture based deck that could run him. With Horde he starts to create tons of value. Crib Swap: Machine gun exile opposing creatures. Avenger of Zendikar: An army in one card and an elemental. Flickerwisp: I think this guy is very underestimated. For me it's really been a swiss army knife. He can retrigger ETB abilities, get back stolen creatures, deal with a problematic permanent for a turn and, with Hordes ability, even save something from removal.
I know you want this to be more of a control list but one of this generals best features is its extremely aggressive body which is perfect to throw some equipment on. I recommend Sword of Feast and Famine and Sword of Fire and Ice with those you can apply tons of preassure but still are in a controlling position. Sunforger is also a lot of fun in 5c Godo, Bandit Warlord helps you to find the equipment you need and his second ability gives you extra hits with Horde since it has vigilance.
Anyways, I hope I could help. I've been working on my Horde of Notions deck for quite some time now and and it's not only strong but also very fun to pilot. It can be very aggressive and controling at the same time. Check out my list (linked in the sig) for more ideas.

Godo, Bandit Warlord helps you to find the equipment you need and his second ability gives you extra hits with Horde since it has vigilance.
Concerning cuts, I would cut some of the high cmc elementals. Pyroclast consul seems particularly bad.
Also why play sculpting steel when there's Phyrexian Metamorph?
