How come you use javelins on the skinks? Is the better to wound worth the lower range?

Yep. The way I personally use 10 man units of skinks, is as screens and to hold objectives. I expect them to soak charges and die, so I don't really use them for shooting. I find that when I do use small 10 man units for shooting, it's because I really need to finish off a unit that has 1 or 2 wounds left. That's why I like javelins on the small units, for that better chance to wound.

I like blowpipes on the big units of 30-40 skinks. Then they get the extra attacks and it's enough shots that when buffed by starpriests, you start doing a lot of damage.

You'll do fine with this list if they are allowing realms pick up ghur so you can keep my colleague fighting at the top bracket
