2 things on point costs.

1. Please don't post point costs for individual models or for units that can easily be calculated (i.e. if i had 20 skinks @ xxx points it's xxx/# of skinks per model)

2. Calculated out, this list is over 2000 points for me (i think you missed the cost of the BSB for the Slann (or the cost of the banner), the 2 saurus blocks haven't paid for their banners, and i'm not sure what's wrong w/ the temple guard, but they're missing points too. total list comes out to 2052

I think your skirmisher units might be a little big. I run mine at 12 usually (unless i have weird point values floating around), 15 max.

You'll find w/ this army that war machines and shooting will be quite painful since you would just have to walk through 2-3 rounds of shooting to get into combat and with no major threats on the board (everything's very balanced) your Slann unit will probably take a pounding.

I would shrink your skink skirmisher units down to let you get a couple other threats.

if you shrink all 3 units of skirmishers down to 12, that would give you the extra points for 5 chameleon skinks which can war machine hunt, take out solo mages, and hassle big monsters w/ their good ballistic skill and poison. It will also free up the points for a salamander hunting pack + 1 extra handler (just the way the points worked out)

I'm not entirely certain about the fear banner. It seems like a lot of points for immunity to fear when you can spend the same amount and get a wailing banner from the BRB and cause terror in the unit. Why would GW make those both the same cost? weird.
