As another point to consider, has anyone thought of what non-arcane items they might be running on a slaan?
Weapons: Probably not a lot here but Fencer's could be helpful defensively, or perhaps shrieking Blade for making the unit cause fear for relatively cheap?
Armour: Unavailable
Talisman: already have a 4+ ward and can't get an armoursave of any relevance, that leaves magic resistance or the Dragonbane gem? Gem is probably of minimal use with the slaans auto-passing of Lookout Sir tests though...?
Banners: The Banner of Discipline is probably the obvious and cheap option, but the option to include a BSB priced standard in a unit with relative safety could be handy, especially combined with the TG's ability to take a banner also... Skavenpelt + Razor standard for super-choppy? Jaguar + Banner of Swiftness to help keep up with a skink-heavy list? I can see lots of possibilities here.
Enchanted Items: My first thought was OTS but the slaan isn't in base contact with enemies so its not really worthwhils. Crown of Command is probably of minimal use as I believe TG still get stubborn if a slaans in the unit, but potion of healing or toughness could be handy in case of emergencies, The horn of Kygor could be alright but I feel needs an army built around it, though if your fielding decent sized hunting pack units it could have a place? The other item I'm liking the look of is the Egg of Quango for potentially a nice "breath weapon" effect to really tip a combat in your favour.
It may not be terribly cost effective to run many of these things, but it could be a way to get some more non-magic mileage out of the super-toads.
