current list

28 saurus counting one full command
14 temple guard coutning full command and 4 piece mail TGs made out of saurus and tg bits
rough estimate 42+ skinks(untold how many lying unassembled in bitz draw)
3 sallys
Engine of the gods
6 cold one riders(the old school plastic mount pewter rider)
2 skink chiefs
2 priests
4 terradons
3 kroxigors(though one seems to be awol right now)
and a slann

since I am on a budget and only seem to have the 125 from my taxes I set aside for stupid purchases(and dont want to use all of it) I am having a tough time decided what to buy for the escalation league coming up and not sure if special characters are allowed(though will check sunday on that one)

so what kinds of things do you all think I should add?
 
You need chameleons for sure. Even if its just converting skinks. You need at least 2 units of five. You could also use terradons.
 
I am in agreement with Arli in that Chameleon skinks should be priority number 1.

This is the order in which I would try to get stuff.

1. Chamo Skinks; either convert some of the skinks you own or get another skink box and convert a minimum of 10 to chamos (I like using between 12 and 16 in two units of 6 to 8)
2. a second Salamander so you can run two hunting packs of two (with extra handlers of course)
3. a second Stegadon (pinned and magnetized to allow for all options)
4. another box of Saurus Warriors, bringing your total number up to 44 with two command groups.
5. a Scar Vet/Old Blood, because they are great combat characters that can add a fair bit to an army.
 
Okay, a second box of saurus my current are hw and shieldshould I keep the second box the same or make thm spear users? For champ how would one block of seven counting leader do? Old blood on foot or mounted was tempted to finally get carno? Any guides for magnetizing a stego? And hmmm I guess instead of an extra Sally would you reccomend 3 razors to switch out as needed? Sorry if this is messy and jumbled was done on phone.
 
As far as razordons go, they tend not to be nearly as effective as salamanders because they cannot march and still shoot (as the salamander can). Salamanders tend to be the better choice, even though the razordon model is pretty cool!
 
not sure if special characters are allowed if they are I might take oxotyl is he any good to lead my skink chameleons?
I think I will start with 5-7 with stalker with the 1k point game
 
spears are only good if you want to accept the charge(extra rank of supporting attacks) but HW and Shield will give you the 6+ parry save.

1. camo skinks(over looked that you didnt have them in the OP)
2. more saurus
3. another steg
4. scar-vet(possibly 2 and make one a bsb just in case)
5. another sally
6. a krox if you cant find your missing one
