TOW 2000pts tournament with comp

[Kadoc]

Hi all,

Here's the list I think about playing for a tournament in july. We use the german comp for the army lists, the modifications are the following for the lizardmen :

o All Saurus Heroes switch their Scaly skin for a suit of light armour and the Armoured Hide (1) special rule.
o Slann has the Firing Platform Special Rule
o The Apostheosis spell can target units of the Monster troop type, but will only restore 1 wound.
o Temple Guard have Initiative 2. If a Slann is General, Temple Guard may be taken instead of Saurus Warrios for the 1+ Saurus Warriors in Core.
o Salamander Hunting Pack has the Move and Shoot special rule on their breath weapon
o Razordon Pack has the Multiple Shots (2d3) special rule on their Razor Blade

Nice list!
Just some things:
Lore familiar means you CANNOT take signatures as Apotheosis. Usually i get all the spells i need without it, so I should remove it.
Skink chief could have a use of a charmed shield and a spear/javelin.
Try to optimise skink units to 12, so you need 4 kills to test panic.
2 skinks units are also quite few, I sugest at least 3. So you don't need swarms and can buy something else. Maybe a razordon? It would be interesting maybe to try (even if i still think that 10 skinks are still better)

You have NO reason to don't play an ancient stegadon, even without engine of gods strength 6 make an enourmous difference.

Thanks for the feedback !

Thannks for pointing the Lore familiar rule, I've always played it wrong...

I made some adjustments, removed lore familiar for an Earthing rod and an enchanted shield for the skink. Swapped the swarms for a third unit of skinks (can't have more cause of rule of 3) and switched the stegadon for an ancient with engine of the gods. I had some points left so I had some skinks in the units with vanguard.
I kept the javelin for the skink hero, he's not intended to charge so the spear seems less usefull, but maybe I'm wrong on that.

I play a similar list, but less temple guards and no warbanner to play also a skink level 2 =)
I don't rememmber how but I give him lore familiar instead. Is just another idea, not sure is better.

Thank you for your help !
I find the big block of temple guards very good. The oponents are always scared of this and don't know how to handle it. And with shieldwall/Stubborn they can take any charge and do lots of damage next round.
