Any suggestions guys?

This is being built with stuff I already own and some stuff I have coming. It seems like a fairly solid list but I have never played Lizards so I'm not too sure.

I would like to play with a solo Slann and see how it goes. If it doesn't work I will probably end up picking up some Temple Guard and replacing the Cold Ones with a unit of them.

3 ways i can see this going:
1) you could drop 2 skirmishers and give the slann loremaster.
2) you could replace the skirmishers and remaining points with 13 saurus to flesh out the blocks a little more or give them spears instead
3) you could add 3 more chameleons to the current setup

2 critiques on the list:
1) plaque and dispel are both arcane, you'll have to choose 1 and drop the other.
2) id give some thought to trying to swing some points around for a second sally (either as a buddy or a separate unit). perhaps 2 terradons and the brave? i think you'll get a better return from 1 sally then 2 terradons. plus you also have more chameleon skinks if you go route 3 (4 if you used the 15 points from the plaque)

I think i will go the way of dropping 2 Terradons and taking another Salamander and some more chameleions.

But just out of curiosity, is 3 Terradons effective enough? Their main use will be to fly over a unit I don't like and drop rocks on it and then continue on to take out Warmachines

 

[Coatl]

depends on the size of the unit . ideally they will be on a flank, so the size of flanking units is usually small enough where you could do some damage. you figure an average of 6 S4 hits from the unit of 3 should be able to flatten something. id say they would be sufficient enough for taking on warmachines, at least in a tying them up sense. make take some time to whittle through them

So I've decided to drop two terradons and the scroll and take another Sally, 5 more skinks and run two units of 10. And another chameleon.
