8th Ed. First 2500 list - Feedback appreciated

Hello. This will be my first list with Lizards, and I'd like to know if you could help me with it. I'd be very pleased if you did so. All your feedback will be highly appreciated.

I want to build an all-comers list. My main concern is... Is the Engine of the Gods worth it?

On to the list:


SLANN MAGE-PRIEST
General and Battle Standard Bearer
Lore of Life (Lore of Light seems quite good to me too).
Disciplines: Focus of Mystery – Becalming Cogitation – Focused Rumination
Cupped Hands of the Old Ones
Standard of Discipline

SKINK PRIEST
Engine of the Gods
Dispel Scroll – Ironcurse Icon

24 SAURUS WARRIORS
Musician and Standard Bearer

18 SAURUS WARRIORS

I like the EotG. It'll at least give it and the other steg a 5+ ward when cannons come shooting. If you want 2 stegs, and you're not worried about taking up hero points, I'd say it's definitely the best option. Maybe see if you can use the cube of darkness instead of the dispel scroll?

Was there a reason the 2 saurus units had different amounts? Wouldn't you want them both to be equally survivable?

I'd like to make them both 24 strong, but I find everything in my list very important.
I guess I could drop a Steg, but I love them so much...!
