8th Ed. 1000 points Skink List 2v2 Tournament

[Haemoglobin]

Hello

I will be attending a 2v2 (1000 points each) tournament and would like to bring a Skink list. I will be pairing with a pretty shooty Wood Elf list (2x10 GG, 2x 5 WW, 5 Sisters and some other stuff).
Here is what I have so far:

Hero:

Skink Chief
BSB
Talisman of Preservation
Enchanted Shield
Light armor

Skink chief
Ripperdactyl
Armor of Destiny
Shield
Spear

Core:

10x Skink Skirmisher (Javelin & Shield)

24x Skink Cohort
Musician + Banner
Poisoned attacks
2x Kroxigor

Special:

Bastiladon
Solar Engine

3x Ripperdactyl Rider

3x Ripperdactyl Rider

I figured I would include some high S attacks with the Kroxigor. Not sure about the flying Skink chief and poisoned attacks on the Cohort. I could drop those and include 2x Salamander Hunting Pack for those points. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Seems balanced. The Rippers and the Bastiladon provide muscle that the Wood Elves are lacking.

Speaking of muscle, I would drop the poison attack upgrade and take a third Kroxigor.

I've made some adaptations to the list because I took a look at the players that registered and there are a LOT of elves attending. So I dropped the flying Skink Chief and added Salamander's. I can use the Ld value of my buddies WE general for my army.

Current army build is:

Hero

Skink Chief
BSB
Light Armor
Talisman of Preservation
Enchanted Shield
Lustrian javelin

Core

Skink Skirmishers x 10
Javelin & shields

Skink Cohort x 24
Kroxigor x 2
Full Command

Special

Bastiladon
Solar Engine

Ripperdactyl Rider x 3

Ripperdactyl Rider x 3

Rare

Salamander Hunting pack x 1
Extra handler

Salamander Hunting pack x 1
Extra handler

The salamanders add additional firepower to kill those squishy elves and provide a redirector when needed. 2 Single Salamander Hunting Packs also stay in the MSU style that I am trying to make to be similar to my buddies WE list.

His list is something like this:

2x 10 Glade Guard with no shooting modifiers
2x 5 Waywatchers
5x Sisters (the lvl 2 mage with thorns and curse of anraheir)
1x eagle
1x spellweaver with lore of shadow (lvl 2 , general)
1x waystalker with bow of loren (2x sniper shots)

So we are definately trying to get a MSU army going, the WE providing ranged support and the LM picking off the survivors.

Any comments on both lists?

Id suggest totally droping skrox unit, and split it into skirmishers and 10man cohorts with musicians.
