Let me know you guys think. I was going to add the 2 units of Chameleon just so they can live along enough. And i would like to add more Skinks to the Skinkroxg unit.
 
I wouldn't change a thing. Your extra points are probably best spent on another Chameleon.

Life on the Slann?
 
Yes i was going to us lore of Life on the slann.
 
I'm not a big fan of Razor Standard on Temple Guard. Standard AS get negated by their S5 anyways, so 45 Pts seems a bit much for what it brings to the table. Banner of Swiftness or no banner at all might be better. If you expect Vampires or Dark Elves as opponents Flame Banner might be a good idea as well.
I also don't like the Berserker Sword on the Champ. For 20 Points you actually make him weaker. Sure he gets an Extra Attack, but you lose S5 for the 3A he already has. Also you have to test for Frenzy, which you most likely won't fail, but why risk it?
I think a defensive item on the Skink Priest would protect your investment better, for example the Dawnstone. Becalming should make the opponents magic phase managable. If you want to keep the Cube you should at least buy a Luckstone for 5 Points.
I'm not a fan of Spears on Saurus. At I1 they will almost always strike last, by which time the 3rd rank might be gone. I think the added survivability and lower cost speaks for Handweapons.
With the saved points you could get more Skinks or a unit of Teradons.
 
I guess the Razor Standard would be over kill on them but i do play with alot of WoC but ill think of droping it for FB or BoS. What about using Sun Standard of Chotec?

On my Champ what do you think Dragonfly of Quicksilver or VotFF or Bane Head?

The Skink Priest doesnt have a AS or does he use the AS from the Stegadon?

For 30 points i think spears are worth it to have 40 attacks.
 
How will you get 40 attacks using spears? Only get to make one supporting attack.
Unless you run them in horde formation (3 x 10) and have every model at the front in base contact there is no way you can get 40.......and even then you wouldn't need spears, 3 ranks would get to attack anyway.

I think it's too expensive for what it brings to the table. I mean, what BS based shooting would be that harmful to the unit? They are at a 3+ AS against shooting, so the only bad thing I can think of are Bolt Throwers, and I haven't seen one of those in ages. If it gets bad you can still screen the unit with your Skinks.

On my Champ what do you think Dragonfly of Quicksilver or VotFF or Bane Head?
If the list is for a tourney i would give him the Ironcurse Icon. That way the whole unit gets a ward vs warmachines. If you don't expect any warmachines just let him as he is. Dragonfly is useless IMO and the other options aren't very good on a model with only 1 wound.

The Skink Priest doesnt have a AS or does he use the AS from the Stegadon?
Characters on an Ancient Stega get a 2+ AS

For 30 points i think spears are worth it to have 40 attacks.
I presume you want to run them as a horde, in which case they can all attack anyway without the spears (first rank, support attacks from 2nd rank, extra horde rank), so all you would accomplish by equipping them with spears is that you wasted 30 pts and lost your parry save. I wouldn't even run 40 Saurus with spears, because at Initiative 1 you would probably lose the extra rank through shooting, magic and enemy models striking before you

Why do people keep thinking im going to run them in horde. I ment to say 20 my bad.

I dont think a +6 perry save is all that great i would like to have more attacks b/c we are T4 better then most armys.
 
Hello,
I'd Take Dragonbane Gem on the Scar vet on cold one. (why risk metal magic).
And If you plan to use EotG more offesivly than use it like this: Dawnstone and The other trickstrs shard.
the CoD can be carried by a lone skink priest. I'd Drop the Razor Banner too, and put either Banner of swiftness as mentioned above, or no banner at all. As for the item on the champion, there is only 1 good item:) Blood statue of Spite, but it works better with shadow slann or Death Slann. Same goes for banners, the best one is the Banner of Domination... with Death:D

fair enough, but spears a still a waste of points. They aren't going to give you that many more attacks

Droped the magic banner from TG and just added ironcurse icon. Droped Spears and Skinkrox are not full command. Added a Skink Priest LvL1 and has CoD and with my LvL2 added Dawnstone and ToTS. I was thinking of Droping Cupped hands if im using Life Lore and added a DS or if there any items you think that would go great with him? Do you think i should go with 2 Disciplines or just keep it with 3?

Thank you
 
Give the scar vet Dragonbane Gem Its 5 potins, and will help vs Lore of Metal magic missiles:)
When you use Life I think that Cupped hands are obsolete. Lore of Life is a bit tricky with the spells So I'd keep Loremaster, but If You had some ideas, Than I'd drop the Loremaster, and put in Plaque of tepok.:)
 
No i just wanted to know if you think the 3 Disciplines were good enough for him. I dont know if i want to drop my CoD skink P. for a Chief and make him the flying Chief of doom lol.
