For an overall more dominant magic phase might consider the harmonic/channeling staff combo the potential extra dice are much more useful than the plus one to cast and it saves points. You can also eliminate resovoir under the same principle. I personally enjoy a book of ashur slann in my tetto build, but it's based on stretching your dice rather than just having more which is always a greater advantage.

You don't need light armor on you scar-vet if you take a magical set. I usually go with CO, GW, AOD for a 1+/4+ or a CO, GW, Dragonhelm, Dawnstone for a 1++ and potential 2+ against flaming for greater utility. You can even slap on the OTS or a magic weapon if you think you'll run into a lot of ward saves or ethereals.

The rest of the list seems fine; people tend to have feelings either way regarding skrox; you might be better suited with more skirmishers since you already have your two blocks, but I think you are fine with the three since you need to get your slann forward to use magic. (I would probably bulk up the saurus and TG; personal preferrence) Maybe if I've saved you enough points get two small units of rippers for some more flexibility, or some more COR; a five man unit won't get you too many LOS.

Best of luck.

Thank for the reply

All duly noted I only really use the skrox to tackle big things like monsters and they tend to do well might try out the channel combo, the idea of the list is to get lots of little spells off and with channelling could be good.

Thanks again
