1) BSB?
2) Magic is not so nice (imho) in 1k games, so may be Oldblood + Scarvet will be better.

I agree that it's a bit much for magic at a 1000 pts but not too unusual. I love 6 dicing the solar engine though; just count on it to be a distraction and not a gimmee. It will undoubtedly be the target forany war machines after your scarvet. Not having a BSB is not as bad as it is for some armies since we're cold blooded. Chameleons are great at small points. If you'd like to save some more points and get some more combat power you could try a ruby ring instead of the solardon. I tend to go character light in small games though enough skink skirmishers can destroy anything with shooting. Best of luck.

The shield is pointless. You have a +1 without it.
I'd go beasts over heavens. Wyssans will do so much and the potent spells are just to small a chance with a lvl2.
You'll find sword and board are much better on the saurus. Even if you got PF from all ranks it is unlikely to be better then the parry save.
Otherwise that is a killer list mate. Make sure you focus heavy cav (high armour save) with magic and getting your cowboy in against them. You don't have any other means of dealing with it. Everything else should be winnable with the tools in your list. Best of luck
