Looks like a fairly typical list, you should be fine.
the big blocks combined with the blasitdons should be prety durrable.

I was debating taking the razor standard out and either taking ripperdactyls or making my cohort skirmishers. Any thoughts? Is the Razor Standard in my temple guard worth it for 45pts?

Your army needs some punch, and right now the only thing really bringing it are your S5 AP Temple guard. I think the razor standard is a must.

I'd let your Slann and Priest have all the power dice, drop the laserdons (I like these guys, but not in this list) and pick up an upgraded Ancient Steg. Nasty charge, decent shooting, and a strength score to actually write home about.

I'd also drop the cohorts for skirmishers. Unless you're trying to generate fortitude or deny steadfast with a flank charge, I don't see much point in the 10 block of skinks. Skirmishers are more flexible and well worth the price hike.

Pathfinder,
Those are some great types!
