Looks like a good start, but you seriously lack harassment troops. IMHO you need at least 2 units of skink skirmishers at this points lvl. And i never leave home without either chameleons or terradons. Your magic phase is pretty strong, I would consider dropping a scroll from the eotg and getting the wardrums or a ward save. You could also consider to change your scar-veteran for a JSOD. that is one extra spell and will probably go off with so much more magic. So how to get the points? First of all i would cut on your saurus. the units you have now are 20 strong which is the case of spear saurus considered suboptimal. unit siezes of 12 or 18 are more common as you deploy them 6 wide to get the most out of there attacks. I would get one unit of 18 and one of 12 (or 18 if you really want to) Next up are the Cold ones. I think they are awesome and i use them in every game i play, but a unit of 8 is way to costly and unwieldy. I prefer units 6 wide (7 is also a good option) so i would drop down to 5 cold ones with the scar-vet or 6 without him. Adding the scar-veteran on CO to a unit of saurus is IMO the way to go as you add immunity to fear and a combat beast to the unit. Stupidity isn't much of a problem to me most of the time. So if you drop 9 saurus and 2 cold ones you get 178 points to spend. I would start of to get your scar-vet the sword of battle or might instead of the pendant. the thing must trigger first and is a little risky IMO (even more so if you are running him in a saurus unit) Also having a magic weapon can really make a difference in some situations. For the rest of the point you can purchase 2 units of skirmishers. or 1 unit of skirmishers and either a salamander or terradons. remaining points should be spend on banners an musicians for the saurus block and mabye for the cold ones if you have the points. pff that was long... Hope that helped I'll be playing 1500 points as well soon. you might want to check out my list. you find in the armylist section "1500pt. all-comers" or something like that. cheers!
Thanks i will take your advice and revise a new army list i will post later on just to see if it meets your requirements
