8th Ed. Tag team tournament 1200 x2! Lizards and dwarfs (fluff army)

[Mahtis]

Hello everyone, our gaming community is going to have a tag team tournament next year and me and my dwarf friend (not really a dwarf, just plays dwarfs) has teamed together! The tournament is going to have some comps (that affects the most in my opinion are the unit size limitation of 40 units and max 450 point unit.

We have fluffy list cause we have a special character in it (and for fun) so it may not be optimal, but little feedback on some things would be appreciated.

I'll post a full fluff in the fluff section, but in short, Tetto'eko has a prophesy of dwarfs helping out destroying the chaos moon. He travels to the old world to meet long lost lizardmens, who has contact with local dwarfs. The dwarfs agree to help out for gold Tetto'eko promises them.

The lizards army list:

Slann: Lore of metal, loremastery, dispel scroll

Tetto'eko

35 skinks with 4 kroxigor

6 terradons

10 skink skirmishers

The dwarf army list (as I remember)

2 master engineers

2x10 thunderes

2 gyrocopters

2 cannons

grudge thrower

What we both fear the most is poor defense against magic and shooting, we tested out different units against the skroxigor unit and it managed to hold most of the time. We even tested having unit of 6 irongut ogres charging with a total of 10 or more so it did lot's of impact hits. Combat ended in victory of skroxigors, killing all but 1 irongut.

What do you think, does this have a winning chance, or should there be some changes?

I was hoping one of the Dwarf guys would pick up on your list since I am not intricately familiar with their builds, BUT:

If you are really really worried about magical defense then you should take Becalming Cogitation and the Plaque of Tepok on your Slann. That will give you much better protection against enemy wizards and you'll still get 5/7 of the spells. Odds are you will get to pick and choose which ones you want anyway.

I am slightly concerned with the lack of combat. Your Skrox unit will do quite well, no doubt, but nothing else in either army has much combat potential. Though you do have quite a lot of artillery so it may not be an issue.
