Any help?

Well, Lets start..

Your second build of a Slann is decent, still not the best but it's OK.

About the cowboys, they are good but not with this set-up.
One of the build I Like is as following:

Scar-Veteran on Cold One w/
Sword of Striking, Light Armour, Charmed Shield, Dawnstone, Potion of Foolhardiness

Scar-Veteran on Cold One w/
Great Weapon, Armour of Destiny, Dragonbane Gem

There are many builds possible, see the forum, but it is important that your cowboy has a 1+ armoursave with reroll or a 1+ armoursave and a wardsave.

23 saurus warriors wont hold their ground. If you want to play a unit of saurus play a unit of 30 or don't use them.
The skirmishers with javs and shield are good.

Please drop the cold ones, think about an additional stegadon, bastiladon or ripperdactyls. Use the ripperdactyls to vanguard 12" and if you go first move them behind enemy lines so he can't charge and if you go second, try to charge the unit you marked with the blot toad.

Chamo skinks are decent. Might think about one unit of 7 or two of 5.

The templeguard are ok to use, but use more. Your list don't have any big blocks to claim steadfast. I use 36 of them, pretty expensive, but with a signature slann to boost they are really awesome and a very strong unit. Up to 36 attacks with predatory fighter, WS4 and Str5. You really smash down every unit, a bastiladon a very good option to take to ensure you have a better initiative then your opponent.

Last but not least, the ancient stegadons.
Really good units, but only use the sharpened horns! Stegadons must win combats with their impact hits, bot because of that single extra attack.

I think it is a good list, but there are still enough points to improve.
The list you described above is a fun list, no competative.

I think your missing out on a tool by leaving out the salamanders, for hordes of rats or for those ever so common elves the S4 breath weapon does wonders
