First off... remove the individual points costs of the items or you will have the mods breathing down your neck

Here are some suggestions on your list. Feel free to use/ignore/get inspiration from them in any manner that you wish.

1. Slann:
remove unfathomable presence
remove diadem of power
remove dragonfly of quicksilver

2. Temple Guard:
remove totem of prophecy
add champion

3. Skink Priest:
add diadem of power
remove glyph necklace
add dispel scroll

4. Terradons:
I would take at least 2 units of 4 in an army like this

5. Salamanders
Place them in separate units rather than in 1

Aranigej is right about the individual point costs of items. GW is pretty psycho-hose-beast about their copyright material and they constantly are forcing sites to remove information. The specific rule about posting on the forums can be found here:

I'd also like to second almost everything he recommends in his post. Extremely solid advice. My only variance would be the terradons. I know they can be useful and all, but they are *expensive* and buying 8 of them is very costly. If this is friendly and your opponent lets you proxy, you might want to give it a try. I'd personally go with either 1 unit of 4 or 2 units of 3 in a game of this size. That boils down to personal preference though, since we all agree they are worth having.

Once you remove all those magic items, I'd recommend taking a unit of Saurus Warriors to protect the Temple Guard flank. You basically have 1 unit that you are going to 'accept' charges. Unless you are extremely formidable in the movement phase and your opponent is fairly weak, I'd feel a lot safer with a second block to absorb some shock in a 2250 pt game.

yeah the price of terradons is a pain. i just think if something requires to be in a group of 3 or more you should sell it in a pack of 3. make them plastic and sell 3 for 30 bucks.

Don't forget that GW is after all a business, so by making the good stuff expensive, you either have to buy them or do without them. Anyways, when I use more terradons than I have a usually proxy the ones left out but in official tournaments that would be a bit of a prob.
