so i usually play simmular like this , in larger games, but i go for death, caus the chars wll give me the extra points, but in a lower point battle i beg differ; caus most players wont boost their chars that much, so im opting for shadow and make my sallies game winnres...

Soulblight is good enough to make salamanders powerful and it can be boosted to be an AOE, and death is generally a better Lore for LM than shadow imo, especially for this list. You also have doom and darkness in death to make the salamander panic tests really scary (especially since you probably already sniped the BSB). You also only get 5 spells with this build and since shadow only has 1 truly useful spell for this list it's going to be annoying if you don't roll it.

You say people won't bring expensive chars but you have around 800 pts in chars, one which costs close to 400 pts, and while the Slann is exceptionally expensive there is no real reason to think people won't bring a lot of chars.

If you come up against VC, who will have a Flying Vampire of Doom, it will eat your army up by itself. If you take Lore of Death, then you can kill off those characters.
