8th Ed. Lizardmen 1500pts friendly list need advice

[Vadraha]

Hey guys I'm new to this site so thought I'd post my army list and get some advice.

I play ogres a lot and he uses a huge block of ironguts at his centre with a thundertusk nearby and my saurus blocks get anihilated. So I suppose what's the best way to take out a thundertusk quickly. Here's the list I play atm anyway, any comments would be appriciated. Thanks

Characters

Saurus Oldblood
Light Armour
Enchanted shield (Because it's cheaper than a normal one)
Carnosaur

Gor-Rok

Skink Priest
Level 2
Lore of beasts

Core

24 Saurus Warriors
Standard
Musician
Champion

Please do not post points costs for individual units. Thank you!

I'm not big on Carnosaurs against armies with cannons, but the plethora of multiwound models to munch on probably makes up for the risk. I'd recommend the Charmed shield instead for your Scar Vet so you have some protection against cannon fire.

I normally like to run my Skink Priests with a bunker of Skirmishers but I don't see what you could safely trim to raise the points for that.

Yea I really like the model too and he does munch on a lot of guys but I've found that when he gets there the carnosaur seems to die very easily : /. Is there a way of giving the mount more survivability? Unless I'm reading the rules wrong he seems to get the carnosaur shot out from underneath him most times
