AoS New battle plans hurting list building

[forlustria]

So a have a tournament in a few weeks that will be using the new ghb battle plans. I've noticed a few now give bonus points to certain unit types like battle line and one is scored only by battle line.
Im really struggling on building a list. I wanted to run thunder quake temple host. But any list I come up with is servery lacking in battle line units (bare minimum) I tried a list the other night and won but that was because any unit could score.
Anyone have any ideas for a list. I have most models

thunder lizard thunder quake can use stegadons as battleline, so that might help.

I’m thinking and hoping that with the new handbook plans we may see more saurus lists, some of the top list wizards here may really surprise us. Of course it could be absolutely just me wishing lol.

Those new battleplans are for exactly this reason... so you can't just take 3 min, throwaway battleline. It forces more diversified builds across a 5 game tournament.

Edit: To add some actual advice, you honestly might still be fine with 30 skinks as your battleline. I'd suggest doing a couple test games and seeing how it works out. On the other hand you could swap out 10 skinks for a blob of 40 warriors and see how that goes.
