What's your plan for armor? Seeing a lot of 1+ saves isn't out of the question with how popular woc is.

Sorry should have put an overview down ha!

My plann for 1+ saves is to tag team 2vets or even a vet and the oldblood thay are more than able to take 1+ cav out the vets are all 1+ saves with 4 s7 attacks each with PF so plenty of wounds but the best thing is only 4 knights (each vet) would be attacking them back if I get the charge it's easy picking and tbh as a lizard should be picking the fights anyway

Against monster cav with a 1+ crushers basically I would have to get either a soalblight or a couple of iceshards on the unit to garrente victory because without it's a bit in there favor

Armour wise only thing I think I'll struggle with would be the steam tank everything else should be able to deal with if played smart

But the main aim of the game is to use all the skink to control the movement phase not letting charges go so I can pick the fights for the vets and oldblood. Skink, salamanders and terradons will be chipping away at all enemy units that thay can plenty of poison in this list

Chamo skink there target will bepend on the game I'm in tbh but go after key targets is the main plan

Slann is on death to pick out scary heroes or even unit champs to stop challenging the vets out and to get rid of the bsb if able.

The 2 priests are for the ability to shut down 2 magic phases and extra channels always helpfull

Hope this helps
