First off (something I did when I first joined), please don't post point values for individual models or things that ca be easily calculated (10 skinks @ y points [10*y]) or for items

1 Cold One @ [0.0] Pts

You can't have both the great weapon and the biting blade. Well, you can, but by the rules you HAVE to use the biting blade, so the great weapon is points that you can free up. I like using the GW/Venom of the Firefly Frog for poison/magic weapon instead of the other magic weapons on a fighty tank character. Try using Gambler's armor or something to get down to that 1+ save and a 6+ JUST MAYBE ward save. Scar vet + GW + Cold One + Gamblers Armor = good value for his cost

1 Skink Priest
Magic Level 1; Lore of Heaven
Dispel Scroll
Ruby Ring of Ruin

Good for minor magic defense. At this point level, you can bet on few caster heavy armies

1 Ancient Stegadon
I've enjoyed playing this guy. I started w/ a regular stegadon, but the extra shots from the blowpipes if you CAN'T charge are great. If he can shoot though, he should be charging.

Good hecklers and things to kill monsters

25 Saurus Warriors
Shield; Standard; Musician

3 Kroxigors
Great Weapon

I've never actually used these guys on their own. In a skrox unit, they really shine since the skinks are basically extra wounds for them and they still get their full compliment of great weapon attacks. Plus they can take away ranks (unlike skirmishers) and are fast enough to flank (unlike saurus/TG)

5 Chameleon Skinks
Blowpipe
Great war machine / solo character hunters. I never leave home w/o them
