So I was sat at home talking to a few friends that I generally play the game with and I thought what weird and wacky skink orientated list could I come up with, with what I own?

here's what I conjured up

Lords: Slann w/ Higher state of consciousness. taking lore of beasts

Heroes: Priest with dispell scroll (lore of heavens)

Priest with cube (LoH)

Priest (LoH)

Scar-vet w/ Cold one, great weapon, BSB, Armor of destiny

Scar-vet w/ Cold one, great weapon, light armor, opal amulet (4+ward)

Core: 22x Skink Cohort w/ full command, and 2 kroxigors

10x Skink Skirmishers
10x Skink Skirmishers
10x Skink Skirmishers
10x Skink Skirmishers
10x Skink Skirmishers

Special: Stegadon w/ sharpened horns

5x Cold one riders

Rare Ancient Stegadon w/ Engine of the gods, sharpened horns

2x salamanders

and there we go, my crazy list that will break against anything like waves upon a cliff face. any comments/advice/critique is welcomed and encouraged enjoy

To be honest ,this list doesn't look much different to a "normal" list (apart from the Skrox mb)

It's a solid looking list though.

By way of response, I will post my own version of the same challenge.

Not only do I not intend to run this list, I probably never will. My local meta largely eschews special characters.

Lords
• Tehenhauin (General) w/Ancient Stegadon

Heroes
• Tetto'eko
• Skink Chief on Terradon w/Enchanted Shield, Gambler's Armor, Spear
• Skin Chief (BSB) w/Dragonhelm, Glittering Scales, Javelin, Shield
• Skink Priest (Level 2 - Lore of Beasts)

Core
• 16 Skinks w/Javelins, Poisoned Attacks, +2 Kroxigors
• 16 Skinks w/Javelins, Poisoned Attacks, +2 Kroxigors
• 13 Skinks w/Javelins
• 10 Skink Skirmishers w/Blowpipes
• 10 Skink Skirmishers w/Blowpipes

Special
• 5 Terradon Riders w/Fireleech Bolas
• 3 Kroxigors
• Stegadon w/Sharpened Horns

Rare
• 2 Salamanders w/+2 Skinks

I have no freaking clue how this would actually play out... but I think it would be entertaining.

If I had it to do over again (and I don't, because it's past time I get to bed) I'd swap out the stegadon for a bastiladon, because giving the skinks really high Initiative scores would be entertaining. Alternately, keep the stegadon drop Tehenhuain and run with Tette'eko as my general and add two bastiladons and a second stegadon (probably also a baby with a giant bow, to provide more of that high-Strength punch that Skinks lack).

When I have enough skinks I might try playing your list EP except drop out the general and use tetto, as well as bringing some ancient stegs and basi

You'd say ancient instead of more babies?

I really think that a Skink list would benefit from more sources of Strength 5 at long range than it would from fussilades of Strength 3 at short range. Skinks can already put out a ton of Poisoned Strength 3 attacks in the 12'' range, as well as in melee, but nothing else can reach out and touch your target at 36'' at a Strength that can wound most things in the game more often than not.

Though I guess without access to Hand of Glory, and unless it's clarified that the chief can fire the bow, the low BS on that single shot is going to smart, since you want to be able to advance the stegadon into combat as well...
