Alright one of my main issues is with the Slaan and what unit to run him in. The temple guard are deffinately over priced and I have been hearing that they are a thing of the past and would be better off ran in a group of saurus or skinks. Looking for some ideas on this.

Also are my Saurus blocks good?

And are groups of 5 chameleon skinks good enough for war machine hunting?

I like most of your choices on the units but I believe that your second Scar Vet is illegal. Looks like he has two pieces of magical armor and you can only have 1.

On the Slann, I personally never run him but I believe that Temple Guard are still a very worthy option to field him in.

Chameleon skinks can be amazing but I dont know if you will need two units of them. Maybe just one unit but you can buff it up to 7 models instead.

The one thing that makes me want to suggest some major movement is the Stegadon. I just really dont like the Giant Bow, but making him a rare choice would make you change your salamanders around due to points costs. Never mind, you would still be just under 25% of rare choices You want your Stegadon charging but in the off chance you are charged, the blow pipes can make a stand and shoot reaction where the bow cannot.

Not what my personal choice of a list would be but it should be pretty solid.
