Hello mate, welcome!

I like your list, seems like a good start.

Definitely try Lore of Beasts with your Skink Priest. The signature spell Wyssan's is incredible for making your Saurus total killers!

Not sure about the Slann lore, I've never actually used a Slann.

Consider giving one or two of your skirmisher units javelins. I prefer them for various reasons, there's a thread with a good discussion about this if you search for it.

Thanks for your answer! You think it's better to no play a slann ? Maybe no lord at all?

I will check the thread about skinks' weapons

Oh definitely run the Slann, 100%! From what I understand they are the best!

I just meant that I don't have any experience with a Slann so I have no useful comments.

Personally I always field a Slann. A level 4 wizard is generally considered to be essential in most games. In addition he provides great leadership and fulfills BSB duties.

In terms of magic lores, I think the best options are either the Focus of Mystery (which is my favourite choice) or Wander Deliberations disciplines. Don't get me wrong, the Lore of Light is one of the best lores for Lizardmen, but you can't beat having 8 spells at your disposal instead of just 4. Also, when playing Focus of Mystery, the Lore of High Magic's lore attribute lets you swap into the lore of Light if you desire to.
