AoS Help with finishing list

[Jbird460]

Okay so i am trying to shore up a solid 2k list. I am looking to buy 2 more boxes or spend less than 150. What i have so far is
15 knights
10 warriors
1starpriest
1slann
1 priest
1stegadon
15 chameleon
10 skinks
1 scarvet on cold one
1carnosaur w\oldblood or scarvet
And i am thinking about magnetizeing the head to let me use him as the troglodon. I have two potential lists
Allegiance: Order
Saurus Scar-Veteran on Carnosaur (260)
- Warblade
Skink Starpriest (100)
Skink Starseer (160)
10 x Saurus Knights (240)
- Lances
10 x Skinks (80)
- Boltspitters & Star Bucklers
10 x Saurus Warriors (100)
- Clubs
5 x Chameleon Skinks (120)
5 x Chameleon Skinks (120)
3 x Ripperdactyl Riders (140)
Bastiladon (300)
Stegadon (260)
Shadowstrike Starhost (120)

Total: 2000/2000
Or
Allegiance: Order
Saurus Scar-Veteran on Carnosaur (260)
- Warblade
Skink Starseer (160)
Saurus Oldblood on Carnosaur (320)
Saurus Scar-Veteran on Cold One (100)
Saurus Scar-Veteran on Cold One (100)
10 x Saurus Knights (240)
- Lances
10 x Saurus Warriors (100)
- Clubs
10 x Saurus Knights (240)
- Lances
5 x Chameleon Skinks (120)
Stegadon (260)
Bloodclaw Starhost (100)

Total: 2000/2000

So i would either be buying a box of Ripperdactyls and a Bastiladon or a start collecting box. I am mad i already have so many knights and they realy do seem to do very little in the games i have had. Which list would work better or is there a different list i could make with about 2 or 3 boxes of new stuff.

I would probably go with something like this:
Leaders
Saurus Oldblood (100)
- Suntooth Maul
Saurus Scar-Veteran on Carnosaur (260)
- Warblade
Saurus Scar-Veteran on Carnosaur (260)
- Warblade
Saurus Scar-Veteran on Cold One (100)
Skink Starpriest (100)

Battleline
10 x Saurus Warriors (100)
- Clubs
10 x Saurus Warriors (100)
- Clubs
5 x Saurus Knights (120)
- Blades
- Seraphon Battleline
10 x Skinks (80)
- Meteoric Javelins & Star Bucklers

Units
5 x Chameleon Skinks (120)
3 x Ripperdactyl Riders (140)

Behemoths
Bastiladon (300)

Battalions
Bloodclaw Starhost (100)
Shadowstrike Starhost (120)
2000/2000

Would require a magnetic base for your old one and a few magenets on his feet or something, or a sc where you make the trog. But gives you 3 monsters some sniper capabilities and a great fighting force.

I like the thought but that would put me over budget with a sc box, Bastiladon, amd rippers i have to buy. I could do a similar list with a steg insted of the Bastiladon and take out the skink for another unit of Chameleons. Give me less power shooting, but more speed and sniping. I alway will miss that startseer, rerolls make thoes clutch rolls easier. I have one other list.
Allegiance: Order
Skink Starseer (160)
Skink Priest (100)
- Priestly Trappings
Skink Starpriest (100)
10 x Skinks (80)
- Boltspitters & Star Bucklers
10 x Skinks (80)
- Boltspitters & Star Bucklers
10 x Skinks (80)
- Boltspitters & Star Bucklers
3 x Ripperdactyl Riders (140)
5 x Chameleon Skinks (120)
5 x Chameleon Skinks (120)
Stegadon (260)
Bastiladon (300)
Troglodon (200)
Shadowstrike Starhost (120)
Heavenswatch Starhost (100)

Total: 1960/2000

Kinda a death star with sniping. I could target one or two unit with the battilion abilities and everything could rerolls hit and wounds of 1. Monster would be able to heal a bit and have starseer rerolls to buff everything. And if i magnetize the head an could use the first list with more skinks for a more melee heavy line up.
