I have a match coming up against a dark elf player. I have a year of playing lizardmen under my belt, but just in small games, as money is short and my army is tough to expand. I currently have under my command:

20 Saurus Warriors
1 Saurus Hero (scar vet/oldblood)
8 SCoC
2 Sallies w/ 3 handlers
12 skinks w/ blowpipes
10 skinks w/ jav+ shield (possible conversion to blowpipes)
2 skink priests

My opponent has:

24 Dark elf warriors
20 or so repeater crossbowmen
1 Sorceress
20ish Corsairs
10 Black Guard
5 Cold One knights
Possibility of assassins in his units, maybe 1-3

I've beaten him every time (3 matchups) in 1250 pt games, some were close calls, but with the addition of the assassins and the black guard, i feel that i will be hard-pressed to win. Any tips on how to set up my army list? Even vs. DE tips would be appreciated :) thank you
 
Scar veteran 140sh pts
with cold one, if possible

Skink shaman 125pts
lvl2, fireball


Core:

20x Saurus warriors 250
full command

12x Skink Skirmishers 84pts
blowguns

10x Skirmishers 80pts
javelins

7x SCoR

Avoid BGs and Warriors, Assasins propably hide there. Shoot BGs down, since they are only 10 strong

Consider buying Terradons and camo skinks and Stega, they help a lot vs DE
