8th Ed. Mortal enemies, united: 3000pt Skaven/Lizzie army list

[Old Mossy]

So I'm having a 2v2 battle next weekend. Me and my Skaven playing mate, vs Wood Elves and Empire.
1500pts per army. Enemy lists are sure to feature tree-kin, some sort of flying bird, loads of glade guard, dryads, 4th lvl wiz, 3rd lvl wiz, ~10 cavalry, 2 cannons, war priests and probably a bastard empire special character or 2, plus some crossbow men.

Rat ally is looking to take Storm Banner and Howling Warpgale spell, which are basically anti- flying, anti-shooting stuffs, and a bucket load of slaves, some clanrats, a few warlocks, and a doom wheel.

So, to complement my ally, and with the enemy in mind, what do y'all think of my list?

My List:
1.5k with rats saurian steg skrox

How is it that you can take an magic banner with your saurus unit?
is it worth to take an full command with the skrox unit, i would think an musician would be enough since it would be an flanker I think.
otherwise i think it is an good list.

sorry for my bad english

 

[Zakharov]

Why does the Slann have the pidgeon plucker pendant? He already has a 4+ ward save.

 

[Old Mossy]

Heh, not sure why I took the pendant. Cheers.

@theodoris: Saurus are allowed to take a magic banner. I decided an extra point of combat res. was worth it. The champion I'm still not sure about. I figure he can call a challenge so that less skinks are killed if I need to (better 5 overkill wounds than 5 extra dead skinks IMO). Having said that, if I want my Krox to be hitting the character, my champion can always just refuse if he is challenged (right?).

 

[Old Mossy]

Ugh. So, my ally managed to accidentally send both of our army lists to our opposition...
I've put together an alternative list, and was hoping for some feedback of which to choose. In the end, I'm not too worried about taking the old list. The mind games will probably have them thinking the list was a fake or something

So:
Slann
- In with Temple Guard bunker (obviously)
- General
- Focus Mystery
- Rumination
- Lore of Light
- Cupped hands

Scar-Vet
- BSB
- Shield
- Armour of Fortune
- Biting Blade
- Luckstone

10x Skink Skirmishers

Skink Cohort
- 25x Skinks
- 3x Kroxigors
- Musician
- Standard Bearer

5x Chameleon Skinks

Temple Guard
- 18 TG
- Musician
- Standard Bearer (w/ Razor Standard)
- Revered Guardian

Salamander Hunting Pack
- 2x Salamanders
- Extra Handlers

==========

So the aim here is to have both the TG and skrox as hammers, and use lore of Light to help out. What you think?

 

[theodoris]

uh.., no you are not allowed to carry a magic banner with your saurus unit it can but only if you stick in a scar vet., if so please say were it says so.

 

[Old Mossy]

Wow. Opened the Lizard book, expecting to see what I was sure was there, but nope, no magic banner in a saurus unit. theodoris, did you erase it from my book?
