With the numbers you plan on bringing, I strongly advice you play with Lore of Life. Small units struggle in the new edition and you will need to bring them back up if you want to survive shooty/strong magic lists.

Here are some tips:

- I'd bring the Saurus unit to at least 20. Some will say drop the champion to maximize point effectiveness, I like having champions to issue challenges.

- 10 Temple Guards is a really small unit for a Slann. There's a post in the LM discussion forum about TG numbers. I'm a big fan of 20, because you can lose a lot and still slowly bring them back up. Also, it makes a nice looking symmetric unit and we all know how the gods of dice tends to favor these  .

- What point value do you intend to play at??? If you are thinking 2000/2250/2500, add some chameleons skinks, some salamanders and either another saurus unit or a unit of skinks with kroxigors, either 16/2 or 22/2.
