Nice build. I like that it's fairly straightforward; Rangers and Assassins tend to be viable right from the start, and level fairly organically. Establishing a theme and play style help give the playthrough some character depth, which makes it more immersive and adds some longevity.
I think this build might be fun to play without a shield. Either sword/axe dual wielded, or maybe just a sword with nothing in the left. Windshear would be awesome with this build, though the aesthetic doesn't really match. Nord Hero and Dragonbone swords would both work very well though; they have some of the best dps stats in the game, and you could supplement with Elemental Fury (which I think would fit very well with this build).
Personally, I prefer Stormcloak Officer Armor to Savior's Hide for aesthetic purposes. Also the Stormcloak Officer Gauntlets are some of my favorites in the game. Vampire Boots and Gauntlets *might* work well aesthetically, but I've never tried that look before so that's just speculation. At any rate, it's a good idea not to use the Stormcloak Officer Boots, as they're affected by Heavy Armor perks instead of Light Armor perks. Boots of the Old Gods work well for the Sneak buff, and probably aesthetically as well, so good call on that one.
I'm probably going to give this a shot. I don't think I'll pick up Assassin's Blade or Deadly Aim; I'll just stick to swords. I think Silent Roll also fits the theme really well, so I'll probably use that a lot. I might also pick up The Steed stone, and just rely on potions for Invisibility when needed. If you want some help coming up with potions and poisons, there are some great tools listed on the Alchemy page of UESP. I think if you could combine Slow with either damage health, damage over time, ravage health, or weakness to poison, that would make for a very useful potion. Also potions of Fear + DOT would be really sweet. For players with Hearthfire, picking up the Morthal house (with the fish hatchery) and building the kitchen and garden would allow full potential in terms of food and potion brewing.
tl;dr - Nice build, I'm gonna give it a shot. Dunno how I managed to ramble for so long. :p
