8th Ed. 2500 mounted list

[ColdB1ood]

I have always fielded at least one unit of coldones in my army lists. An love the way they can rip through an enemy unit. I have a 2500 comp coming up. So I thought I'd have a little fun and field a fast mounted shock force.
All comments and advice on the list welcome.

2500 lizardman 8th ed list
(2500pts)

Lords. 546pts
General.
Oldblood. Coldone. Shield. Glittering scales. Sword of striking. Talisman of preservation

Oldblood. Coldone. Light armour. Shield. Blade of realities.

Heroes. 414pts
Scarvet. Bsb. Coldone. Shield. Biting blade. Talisman of endurance.

Scarvet. Coldone. Gamblers armour. Golden sigil sword.

Skink priest. Lvl1 dispel scroll

Core 630pts

6 units of 15 skink skirmishers. Javelin and shield.

Special 910pts

10x Coldone cavalry. Spears. Champion. Standard bearer. Musician.

10x Coldone cavalry. Spears. Champion. Standard bearer. Musician.

3x Terradon riders.

5x Chameleon skinks.

Not sure which lore to take with the priest. Do I boost a unit or zap a shooting unit.

As you can see its going to be a very quick magic phase. Movement and shooting is going to take a while with 95 skinks to move and shoot.(I do have movement trays for the skinks) An combat is going to be very much a do or die phase.

Thanks for looking

Very interesting looking list. It's defenitely a change

I honestly don't have much experience with such an army but I'd consider the following:

Drop the Spears! Their worth 80 points which is a fortune if you ask me and they dont really do that much. Also drop 1 Champ or Musican giving you 90 points for another Skink priest, lvl 2.
Take Beasts on both of your priests and hopfe for Savage Beast of Horrors. With all your characters this spell is havoc among your enemies. Wyssan's is always a very good choice too as is Pan's Pelt. Amber Spear can also provide some heavy shooting, which your list lacks.

You can also drop all 4 Champs and musicians to give your Priest the Cube of darkness
OR, if you can find another 5 points, boost both Priests to lvl 2, giving you better chances to roll the spells you want.

I understand that most of your models probably have spears equiped but unless your opponant isn't a total douche that shouldn't be a problem (since they also come with HW obviously).
