as i said before all help is welcome i will mostly be playing Warriors of chaos, Beastmen and vampire counts. also i really want to dominate the magic phase because we don't get one in 40k :P i don't really care about comp either my gaming group is very competitive so feel free to add cheese where you see fit :)
 
You want cheese? Then you need Salamanders! One is great, two or three are better. You could drop one of your saurus units for them, the more saurus blocks you have, the less mobile your whole army will be (depending on how big your battlefield is).
 
ok so i edited the list i basically shifted some wargear around dropped 10 skink skirmishers and a skink priest and got in 2 salamanders so is that better any other advice is welcome
 
I'd drop spears from saurus warrriors, spears are more effective than HW+ shield only if unit is 20+ models strong imho
 
the most important thing depends on your style of game play,i know everyone says it but it's so true.if you want a hard hitting slow unit that moves in a solid wall, aim for maybe a carnasour couple of block(3-4) of saurus warriors and a steggi.add a priest in aswell so you can do a little bit of magic,salimanders are nice as a inside flank protector,they dont have much wounds so can die if you have them on the flank with no one to support them with but put a steggi on the out side then they either go in on your sali and you got a flank attack with steggi BOOM!!! or they gon on ure steggi and u flame em SIZLE. have your saurus in the middle and priest behind and is you decide to get a carnasouar put as a flank guard. you then have a hard hitting army. if your going agianst range guys then this may not be the best solution,you would probs need a saurus cavalry and a few units of skinks to sneak up and ambush them. hope this helps :D



sos did not see the dominant magic bit... ahh well you can only try and help.
