I am fairly new to 8th edition lizards to take this for what it's worth...

I think you are going to lose a lot of games during deployment with this. Every unit is fairly solid but you only have 4 units to put down before you commit your characters.

As to the specifics of the list I can't speak to most of it except for two things.

1) (and this may have changed since last edition) I have never found a need for more than 4 terradons in a unit for what they need to be able to do. Maybe 5 if you just want that extra body to make panic a harder test to inflict but really I have never found a need for more than 4 or even 3 with a skink chief.

2) Stegadons hit hard and that is great but their absence of static CR is going to make it hard for them to hold any enemy unit down for long, and if you are planning to use them to combo charge with aurus, then we are back to you just not having enough units in my opinion.

Again just my perceptions having not put my lads on the table yet.

Salamanders and one of the best units in the game. You'll miss them if you don't have them.

Stegs are actually stubborn so as long as the BSB is somewhere near them the can old a unit for quite some time while losing combat.
