You don't have enough Core units (needs to be 750)

The 2 Saurus blocks seem kinda small for a 3000pt game, maybe pump them up to reach the 750pt mark.
You could also merge them for a nice horde.

Also you will never have enough powerdice for all your stuff...
2 Solar Engines
1 Engine of the Gods
Slann with Lore Master
and 2 Skink Priests O.O

At least give your Slann the Channeling Staff if you already give him Harmonic Convergence.
Your also missing a BSB.

If you want to cut points I'd start with the TG. A Unit of 10 wont do all that much. If you want a bunker for your Slann to protect him from cannonballs a Skink Cohort does the same and is super cheap. The Champ of the SCOR and Terradons can also be cut to free up points.

And I never leave home without sharpened Horns on my Stegs! They are absolutely amazing and a must have IMO.
Last game my Ancient killed 4 Empire ChickenKnights an the charge ....

You need bigger blocks, for core. Those 20 man units simply won't hold up.
What do you have for models? IMO, you need some pretty major changes to the list.

I'd drop the slaan and the cold ones. I'd shift the Carnisaur to an old blood, and run 2 scar vets (so 1 can be general and the other the BSB). Beef up the saurus to fill out core requirement.

Your list looks more like a I'm taking everything I got rather than a well tuned warhost.

I'd drop the slaan and the cold ones. I'd shift the Carnasaur to an old blood, and run 2 scar vets (so 1 can be general and the other the BSB).

Why drop the slann, maybe loremaster Highmagic slann, 3D6 dispell with channeling staff, could be better then a carnasaur in my opinion!

The scarvet carnasaur should have armour of destiny so he isn't that easy to kill with cannons, maybe talisman of preservation and charmed shield, also gives a 4+ wardsave and ignores first hit on 2+, also give him a halberd with these set-ups
If you take a slann take more templeguard, at least 20 of them

I should make a big block of 40 saurus warriors, 2xskirmishers and two cohorts, cohorts for the priests*, you can put them in one unit of cohorts!

Maybe split the terradons in 2x3 terradons

No salamanders instead of an engine?

*: which lores are given to the priests?

I have been really considering dropping Loremaster from the Slaan. The Skink Priest has lore of Beasts.
