i know he is running about 5 chaos knights, 20 marauders, 24 chaos warriors, 10 wolves idk what else he is running

I'd drop the Temple Guard, they are really most useful with a Slann, and 10 is too few. I'd use the points to bulk out the Saurus Warriors a bit. You will need the extra models.

Also, I'm pretty sure the Skavenpelt banner is Skinks only, so the COC cannot take it. Its also not very useful against non-skaven.

id have to proxy the temple guard, im playing with everything i have haha, also it doesnt specify that it can only be used by skinks in the armies book, where did u get that? thanks also for the advice its much needed

Chaos will run over this list, TG are only good for the purpose of protecting our Slann and 10 is not enough regardless. 12 CoC will be difficult to work effectively. you only have 3 units that can tie up enemies and only one of them is steadfast. The chaos warriors will take at least 2 of your squads to tie them up which means that you just lack the anvil to hold up against the WoC. Plus you are lacking a strong magic backbone, maybe free up some space for a slann with the life lore to beef your blocks up and blast the marauders with DB.

OH OH OH OH OH, and don't forget about Salamanders, -3 to armor saves is nice against nights and warriors
