AoS 2k TL Choices to make for team event!

[Tombomb7]

Hi all!

I had a list I planned to take to a team event next weekend but now having second thoughts! List differences below, would really appreciate thoughts from others on what they would do in my situation!

Both lists include:
Thunderlizard
Slan
EOTG
Starpriest
x30 Skinks
x10 Skinks
x10 Skinks
Solar Basti

List A also includes: Celestant Prime and x2 Sallies
List B also includes: Skink Chief (w/cloak), +1 Priest and +1 Solar Basti

I'm unsure whether I can get the best out of sallies and the Celestant Prime but have the most experience using List A, little with List B. Salamanders have great damage if they shoot and then charge, plus mortals. They also have shorter range, are worth bonus points for killing and you usually take x2 of them so it's twice as bad, they're also not cheap. Maybe I'm thinking about them in the wrong way?

The Prime doesn't affect turn 1 if in reserve whereas a Skink Chief and +1 Solar Basti can at least shoot turn one and be board present in turn 1.

However, you then miss -2 and -3 rend respectively, plus the MWs that come with Sallies and the Prime. These were the major reasons why I wanted to take them in the first place.

Would List B be easier to work with? What would you do?

Thanks! I went with the x2 30 skink blocks in the end and loved it. Went 3-1-1. Made a mistake in the first game which should have been a win. The game I drew ran out of time and opponent didn't want to talk it out, otherwise I was on for the win. I beat x2 LRL (x3 foxed and the other was Teclis) and Orruks with MawKrusha and Kragnos.
