I would make a few minor adjustments to optimize the list. I would give the Old Blood Glittering Scales w/ Talisman of Preservation instead of armour of destiny. I would move the BSB to the Scar Vet, so that your Chief can operate like a cheap redirector and you won't worry about sacrificing him. I would try to add an extra level of magic on the wizard so that you have something to use your dice on. I would upgrade your skinks to skirmishers. I would either add more Kroxigors, or drop the unit - 3 is not enough. I would drop one of the salamanders to give you the points for some of the suggestions I made. I don't think you will need two at 1500. You could also consider dropping the chameleons, the chief has vanguard and should be enough for anti-warmachine duties.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Kroak!....btw....a great read about those Old blood builds!! Props!

I tried to include some of your tips into my list.....

How about:
Old Blood (1+/4++)
* gen, Co, glittering scales, Talisman of preservation, GW.

Heroes:
Scar-vet (1+ re-roll, 2++ fire)
* bsb, Co, dawnstone, dragon helmet, shield

Chief: (1+, 2++ fire)
* terradon, ench shield, la, dragon gem, spear

Priest:
* lvl 2, scroll

Core:
24 sw
* banner

2 x 10 skink skirmishers

Special:
1 Bastiladon
1 x 5 CoR

Rare:
2 x 1 Sallie

Every game i play i'm impressed with these Sallies. I just could not take one away........
I think it was a good call to remove my kroxigors (three just does not cut it...) and to remove my chameleon skinks (fragile......)


I figured another option could be to include a Bastiladon (Blasty).....This unit will give me something more to do within my magic phase.....(And my SW will have some company walking at 4" or marching @8........)

any more tips for me?

I think it looks like strong list. That Old Blood will be a pain in the butt for your opponent to deal with. The Bastiladon is a nice addition to your magic phase, and it can take down light units. Let us know how it works.
