8th Ed. Mazdamundi List - 2500 points

[NexS1]

Hi All,
I'm part way through the conversion of my stegadon to make a Mazdamundi model and I plan to use him in some battles (more for the fun of it rather than his value for points - also, Slann bsb on a stegadon? heck yes!).
So below is my list, and I'll put some reasonings below that;

Lord Mazdamundi (Lore of Life) - 620

Gor-Rok - 215
Scar Veteran (Shield, Armour of Fortune, Biting Blade) - 133
Skink Priest (Level 2, Dispell Scroll, Lore of Heavens) - 125

25 Saurus Warriors (Spears, Command) - 330
20 Saurus Warriors (Command) - 250
10 Skink Skirmishers (Brave) - 76

5 Chameleons - 60
5 Chameleons - 60
11 Cold One Cavalry (Huanchi's Blessed Totem, Command) - 460
3 Terradon Riders - 90


1 Razordon (extra skink) - 80

---------------
The single razordon is for 2 reasons. I only have one, and something to attrat attention (it's good enough that, if left unanswered, could cause problems). I will also use it as a charge blocker.

Seeing that Gor-Rok gives stubborn, I plan on adding him to the smaller unit of Saurus. The reasoning is because there are only 2 ranks of attacks, they may need to remain in combat longer than the spear saurus, hence the need for stubborn.
Why Gor-Rok? Scar Vets only get 50 points of magic items and Stubborn Hat leaves you with only 15 points for survivability items, which I tend to feel Gor-Rok's resillient ability is worth more than 15 points.
However 215 points is still way too much for him, it WAS justifiable before they errata-ed his shield away (strip lances of their charging bonuses etc. was sweet!)

Any thoughts on how I could improve this list would be appreciated!!

If you have the models, adding more bodies to the unit is better than Gor Rok.

But, but, but I've got this shiny new conversion! Haha! I'm partial to the named characters for some reason.
When I win the lotto, I'm going to buy the Kroq-Gar model and convert him up as an Old Blood.
I am looking forward to when GWS reduces his (Gor Rok) cost!

I hear you, but you already have 1 overpriced special character in the army--taking a second is just masochism.

I don't mind the price of mazdamundi, an eotg is 390 without magic items. A decent slann would cost you about 500 points, so its nearly worth it.
However, it would be nice to be given a couple of disciplines.

Mazdamundi has 2 disciplines! Just not the best ones (Soul of Stone and Focus of Mystery)

Oh yeah.. i want focussed rumination ALL the time.
