8th Ed. 1000 pts skink list *HELP*

[Kezza921]

This is my first list, I have always liked skinks, so I have made a 1000 pts list. Any advice on this list would be great and if it is competitive or not. The idea is mostly beasts fleshed out with skink cohorts and skirmishers.

HEROES
Skink Priest
Talisman of Protection

Skink Chief
LA
Shield

Skink Chief
LA
Shield
198

CORE
Skink Cohort 15
FC
Poison

Skink Cohort 15
FC
Poison

Skink Skirmishers 10
BP
310


SPECIAL
Stegadon (Great Bow)

Bastiladon (Solar Engine)

Terradon Riders 3
Sky leader
988

The two skink chiefs will run with the cohorts, I would have given the skink priest flying if I had the points but alas I don't. One problem with the list is that I don't have a viable general at the moment. The skirmishers run on the flanks hitting off others with their blow pipes. The Terradon riders would be warmachine and wizard hunters moving as fast and as far as possible. Finally the Stegadon and Bastiladon are the real muscle of the army shooting and stampeding their way through (might change the giant bow for giant blowpipes), the cohort protect their flanks.

Any pointers/advice would be great

Anyone willing to give me some tips on my list?

A themed list is cool, and skinks are good, but not without support.

You skink blocks are so small that only 4 casualties will cause a panic test, which they risk failing a LD6 with no reroll.

So my best tip is that you should get a bsb in there, and make your skink blocks larger, to prevent them from running off the table =)
