7th Ed. First army list

[Enigma]

Hi there!

I've finally managed to get som time on my hands to write an armylist . This is the first list i've done and pretty much reflects what I have and what I intend to buy over the next few months. I would be grateful for some comments on it, what to skip and what to get.
My main oponent will probably be an Orc & Goblin player with lots of goblins.
Thanks!


Heroes:
Scar veteran with Great weapon, shield, light armour, talisman of protection and charm of the jaguar warrior. Intended to take care of chariots, other heroes or even warmachines. Otherwise he'll just pop up where he might be needed to bolster the lines.

Lvl 2 Skink Priest with 2 dispel scrolls and riding an ancient stegadon with an EOTG. This guy will try to get as close as possible to the enemy to burn them with the engine, all the while defending against spells and missile fire.


Core:
2 x 15 Sauruses with spears, musican and standard. I've skipped the champion to save points, but i don't know if it's such a good idea. any thoughts? other than that these are my main battleline holders

2 x 12 skink skirmishers nothing special here just blowpipes and harrasing the enemies. they will screen the rest of the army depending on the amount of missile troops.


Special:
10 x Cold oneriders with full command


This would be almost 1500pts. and feels like a good start on an army, but it would be great to hear from someone who's actually played a few games and get their opinion as well ^^

10 Cold One Riders is a little expensive, especially with Full Command. Maybe drop them down to 6 with Standard & Musician. Then, with the extra points, make 3 units of 10 Skinks instead of 2 with 12.

yes, I can see that. I thought that it would make a good shock unit with an extra rank. But I think i have to agree that they might be a wee bit expensive. Do you think I should drop them al togheter for something else? or should I just cut their numbers and add aditional skinks?

5 cold one riders can be really effective if you hit someone in the flank, especially if you have hit them in the front with saurus.

If you don't mind stupidity then these guys are great. I am going to use them in my list as well. 10 is too many but if you have the models already, I say 2 units of 5 is way better.

No, not yet. I'm aiming for a 1500 list for a start. I was going for 1000 first, but the models are pretty expensive so i settled for 1500 ^^
