I'd say drop your cold ones to 5 and put your saurus on a cold one in the unit instead, then I would suggest dropping all the saurus warriors and put in skinks skirmishers in thier place, alternatly keep one unit of saurus warriors probably the spear unit. Then throw in some kroxigors, Basically the bane of ogres are skinks, they can move circles around them and shoot them to death, with the exception of the butcher who is immune to poison. The saurus speed makes them weak to the ogres who can out manauver them and slaughter them in a bull charge, also they suffer from a lack of S to finish the ogres. Thats where the Krox come in they are equivelent to ironguts amd will eat through ogres with ease. I've slaughtered ogres tons of times and trust me skinks are the way to go.
I agree, skinks tear unarmered or lightly armored troops to pieces (like giants and virtually everything ogre)
