That Slann focus is Rumination, maybe you're thinking of Ruination of Cities?
Slann looks decent, although you should probably make him your BSB in such an infantry heavy army. Also consider taking the focus that gives you all spells in a lore instead of the plaque of tepok. Stinks to choose a lore with a particular spell in mind and then not get that one. Also it goes good with Rumination because it lets you fine tune your magic phase a bit better and take advantage of all the extra dice.

The Scar-vet - I didn't calculate the points myself, but I think you may have bought a shield and an enchanted shield. You can drop the normal one to save points. Also, the Burning Blade of Chotec is a better choice than the sword of might I think. Consider some armies are universally T3 but vary in terms of armor (dark elves come to mind). BBoC gives -4 to armor and is flaming on top of it, for regen or flammables. Treemen get no armor save, no ward save, and double unsaved wounds!

Skink priest is ok, guess he's going into a group of skirmishers?

Core:
Those are some huge saurus blocks, I haven't seen many people running 20. You can probably get by with 15 and save points. A lot of people also skip on the champion in saurus.

Your skink skirmishers are only 70 points per unit, so you just saved yourself 30!

Only other thing I'd recommend is some ranked up skinks for diverting and harassment, otherwise looks ok.

Special:
TG - Way too huge of a unit. 380 points is a ton. Also I'm not sure the warbanner is all that necessary, especially if the Slann becomes the BSB. Warbanner is better on shock units like Cold One Cav.

CoC - Looks good, drop the champion though. The champion will prevent your scar-vet from getting look out sir, since the champs are not rank and file.

You need to add some terradons, they are invaluable for chasing down broken units.

Rare:
Get at least one Salamander with extra handler... they rock so much.

I agree, burning blade is better... just got back from torching a tomb prince instantly with it and bane head....battle report coming soon. just need to wait for the notes (friend has em)

Depends on what you wanna drop but i recommend a unit of terradons (warmachine hunting...and after that hunt mages and skirmishers )

 

[WheelR]

If you only take the Skink priest for a scroll and to let himi channel some MM then you could drop the promotion.

You really should get atleast one Salamander..They are really good.. in allmost any situation.
Terradons would help alot too.. Drop Rocks is really sweet to throw at some annoying ranged unit followed by some javelins or holding a Warmachine for a couple of turns. And ofcourse March Block..

I'd say drop the Lv2 Upgrade from the priest and 2 Skink units to get 175 pts.. good for 1 Salamander with extra food and 3 Terradons..4 terradon would be really great since thats the magic number for them but 3 would work out aswell.
