Hi there, I am a long time High Elf player thinking of starting a Lizardmen army. Just interested in seeing if something like this is viable and if there are any little things I might have missed. Cheers

Fun list!

A few minor questions/suggestions.

Why does every Terradon pack have Fireleech bolas? Are you expecting a troll army?

Why no Ripper Chiefs? With three units of regular Rippers that's three Blot Toads to make your Ripper Chiefs more dangerous. If you get Steed of Shadows (not guaranteed, but likely) you can avoid most of the issues with unwanted Frenzy charges, at least with one guy per round.

I'd suggest rearranging the Skinks so they are fielded in units of 13. Units of 13 are less likely to panic when hit with a round of light shooting. Tey are alsho harder to wipe out in a single round. With ~80 Skinks on the board, a single panicking Skink unit can easily panic several others. I doubt the Champions are necessary, unless you are planning to bunker the Slann in a unit of Skirmishers (in which case that unit should probably have 20 Skinks in it).
