Razordons are not worth the points. And the old blood is too expensive migt as well get a cowboy instead. This is only what I have learnt from people. Old blood is worth the points for just some extra magic items your paying more for it.

I am always slightly humoured when i see mentions of casual lists in the army list section, what do you want us to actually say? That your list is indeed not competetive, and that a lot can be done to make it more effective at killing other models.. but that is what a casual list is.

I will just evaluate it in a way to make the list semi competetive, you will have to judge your own enviroment to see if the changes are good. I agree with the fact that Razordons are bad, they are reasonable while protecting flanks as long as your opponent knows their rules. Salamander are massive threats to almost every army, espacially elves, so i would almost always suggest Sallies over Razz's.

Seed of rebirth is useless, you already have a 6++ parry, its either ward or regen, not both. Take a reasonable build with him, if you want to tarpit him, take Destiny/GW. On the skink, why take the fireball over another lvl? Drop the ring, take another lvl, a lvl2 wizard is decent at 1500. Take beasts, and always take the signature spell to buff your Sauri, it makes them a lot stronger.

You cant take magical banners and magical items on a BSB, making them mostly bad unless they are Slann. Drop the discipline standerd, get a GW, take some decent defensive items.

Not that you dont really want to take 16 man units, they are to small, never steadfast, will break to fast imho. Take one big unit of like 25 or 30. Rest seems solid, hunt warmachines with the Terradons, kill monsters with your Skinks, support your blocks with the Bastiladon and fry hordes with your Sallies, which you should swap in for your Razordons.

Thanks airjamy, next time I wont skim the rule book. I dropped the old blood and make my razordons into sallies, I also made my blocks bigger. My general is now skink priest.
