Ok, how about posting some of the ideas that you have had so far. We can then see what you have to build on. Listing any models you already have or plan to get would help too.

lvl 2 skink priest w/ engine of the gods = 390pts

19x saurus warriors w/ full command =239pts
20x saurus warriors w/ full command =250pts

4x kroxigors= 220pts

ancient stegadon=275pts

Here is a sample list I came up with:

Slann Mage Priest
BSB (banner of discipline)
Forbidden rod (adds d6 to magic phase-one use, slann would take d3 wounds)
Lore of life (every successful spell will heal 1 wound from a multi wound model within 12 inches-takes care of the wounds from the forbidden rod)
Focus of mystery (all spells)
Focused rumination (extra power die to each spell)

Skink preist
lvl 2
cube of darkness (dispel scroll that on a 4+ ends all remains in play and the magic phase_
skink priest
lvl 2
dispel scroll
ruby ring of ruin (just in case you run into something with regen-i.e. abomination, trolls)


Saurus warriors
28 with full command

Skink skirmishers x 10 with javelin and shield (I prefer javelin and shield to blow pipe-can always stand and shoot)

Temple guard x 13 (slann goes here)
War banner (+1 to combat rez)

chameleons skinks x 5


Salamander x 1 with extra snack

Salamander x 1 with extra snack

I think this is a pretty balanced list. Lore of life makes the TG and saurus very formidable. You have excellent buffing ability as well as descent magic defense with 2 scrolls.

played that list agents my friend. unfortunately he brought dwarfs and i got smoked have to play agents some others =/

The list probably has too much tied up in magic and magic prevention.

The slann is fine, but even at 2000 I would probably only be thinking of one skink scroll caddy and almost certainly only at level 1. At 1600 I would probably just go with the slann.
