8th Ed. Building towards 2,500 points

[godswearhats]

I'm about to start building my Lizardmen army (I've got about half the models I need so far) and I thought I'd post the list that I'm working towards. I've created a bit of a fluff background (which I'll write up properly and post at a later date) for a Temple City that has no Slann and only one Saurus spawning pool that only ever spawns a single Saurus at a time. As a result, the city is ruled by Skinks but the rare Saurus they get are afforded the highest honors.

I'm still working on names and full fluff (I'm very much a story-based player), but here's the army list for comment.

Lords - 505
-----
- Saurus Old Blood, Carnosaur (Loping Stride, Bloodroar), GW, LA, Crown of Command, Talisman of Preservation, Dragonhelm

Heroes - 609
-----
- Saurus Scar Veteran, Carnosaur (Loping Stride, Bloodroar), GW, LA, Shield, BSB, Sacred Stegadon Helm of Itza, Dragonbane Gem
- Ama'retto (will be counts as Tetto'eko, because I don't like the Tetto'eko model that much and I have a cool bit of fluff about this guy)

Core - 624
-----
- 10 Skink Skirmishers x4
- 12 Skink Cohort (Poisoned Attacks)
- 20 Skink Cohort, 2 Kroxigor, Mus, Std (Ama'retto goes in here)

Special - 456
-----
- Bastiladon with Solar Engine x2
- 6 Chameleon Skinks x2

Rare - 300
-----
- Ancient Stegadon with Engine of the Gods

Total: 2494

624 on core is actually not >= 25% of 2500 (which is 625), but it is >= 25% of 2494. If my opponents don't object, I will take a 5 point magic item on the Scar Vet (Ironcurse Icon). I think that's fine for friendly games, but probably not for tournaments.

Any feedback welcomed,

Well for tournaments you can add an extra skink to one of the cohort units! and you're done! Nice list btw
