8th Ed. I need help with a 1.5k list.

[CAinhorn]

First I would like to start out by saying that this is my first post on this forum. Anyway I need help building a strong 1.5k list for a tournament that my local Games Workshop is holding. I know for a fact that my first opponent will be Warriors of Chaos, and I have no idea how to counter them. Currently I was thinking of bringing in a Slaan with Harmonic Convergence and a channeling staff and Lore of Metal for my lords, but beyond that I have no clue what to bring. Here is a list of all the Lizardmen models that I currently own. I hope someone can help me out on this because it is one of my first official games.
My Models:
1 Stegadon W/ Engine of the Gods
1 Old Blood/Scar-Vet
1 Old Blood/Scar-Vet With carnosaur
1 Bastiladon
1 Slaan
6 Ripperdactyls
2 Skink Priests
30 Skinks W/ Blowpipes
50 Saurus
20 Temple Guard
16 Cold One Riders

P.S The tournament is on the 2nd of January so I hope I get a reply by then.

Lots of skinks! He will want to bring some of the warriors big monsters and the poison will tear them up

I know for a fact that his only monster he has is a Hellcannon soooooo any suggestions on how to counter that?

Should I run two 15 man squads of skinks or a single blob of them?

You have A LOT of models!

First you have to decide what units you want to include in your army, and wich ones to leave out.

For the lord section you have to decide on wether you want a fighty old blood or a slann mage priest. You have plenty of alternatives to the slann in the hero/special section (bastiladon, 2xpriest and engine of the gods will be plenty to spend your power dice on).

Do you want a large Cold one riders unit, or will you leave them at home to free up points to spend elsewere? Do you want rippers? Monsters or no monsters?


If you havent made a list before Id love to make you one, just say what units you really want to include, and wich ones you are fine with leaving at home

I would love it if you could make me a list! The models I REALLY want to include are the bastiladon, saurus worriors and a engine of the gods. I also just got Tetto'eko yesterday so I would like to use him in the list if I could. Also the models that I could live without are the rippers and the saurus oldblood on a carnosaur. Finally do you think a Slaan would be worth the points in such a low point game, and if so what lore of magic should I choose?

I am pretty satisfied with this list, I didn't manage to include the ancient steg, but you have plenty of stuff to spend your power dice on.

I like the list except for a few things. 1. I do not own the saurus oldblood W/ Cold one model and 2. I am worried that the WoC army will wipe out most of those models first thing, so is there any other list you think could work? I would Like to have a saurus on a carnosaur if possible because I have had descent luck with that against WoC in practice games. Oh also I wanted to know if Ripperdactyls are useful at all when fighting WoC.
P.S I know for the most part what my opponent will bring to the battle field if you need to know what I am up against.
