Hey, guys. That gibberish is short for 1 Battalion, 5 Warscrolls, 40 Wounds per Unit max, 225 Wounds per army max. I think that using those guidelines is essentially the same as a points system, and these specific parameters are decent for a mid-size game. What would this be skavenslaves-wise? They have no wargear, but just curious... maybe around 4000ss or 5000ss? Here's a list. 1 Skink Patrol - Skink Chief (4W) - 40 Skinks (40W) - 40 Skinks (40W) - 8 Terradons (24W) 1 Slann (7W) 40 Temple Guard (40W) 1 Stegadon (10W) 1 Bastiladon (8W) 8 Ripperdactyl Riders (24W) Check out this link for some insight as to how the balance is worked out.
Skink Patrol has a priest unfortunately. That is also a rather large game not midsized. That being said it seems pretty good. I assume you are looking to summon another combat character or two? Seems to be the only thing missing to really firm up the list.
Hah! Yeah, I found that out while playing my first game. Though it seemed like a mid-sized list, it was a pretty large battle. I'll edit the original document - forgot to before. Anyway, as far as the battle size goes: I eventually said, "Eh, screw it. Let's do this." and made an even larger list to battle with. There's something of a bat rep over in the subforum. It was a learning experience, so not the most exciting game ever. In 8th, my standard game was 2.5k-3k though so I'm used to that size. Since that match, however, I've been scrimmaging small numbers of units against others to test out tactics. I gotta say, this game is the bees knees of combined arms warfare. Inferior units can really hand it to superior ones when handled properly.
