    What do you guys think about this list as a general all comers army? Granted If it went up against a magic heavy army my magical defense would last very long, but there should be enough units and men in the army to deal with that.

    - Alternatively I could drop the Cham. skinks, upgrade the SSV to an OB, give him the BS Quetzl and give a saurus block the BS Tzunki. With that done, drop the brave and give the OB the enchanted shield. That would leave me 3 pts behind, but oh, well. But in doing so I would lose a small sacrificial march block, harassing unit which goes a long way in annoying your enemy which Lizards do rather well.

    My main concern with the list is that it wont do very well except against very standard army compositions. Magic is going to be a big factor against your list, and at 2500 pts it is very likely that you will be playing against lists with atleast 2 tricked out lvl 2s. Moreover, the only things that really hit hard in your list are your two units of kroxigors, so against defensive lists you will really have trouble cracking infantry blocks. You certainly do have plenty of Saurus blocks, but infantry very seldom win games. Against a standard infantry block with a hero Saurus are going to have great difficulty (think dwarven units with thanes, VC with thralls, etc.)

    ok, so based off your feed back (thanks for it by the way) I rewrote the list dropping a unit of saurus and the cham. skinks and added a Stegadon, and another priest. For magic defense I'll effectively have 8 dispel dice w/the diadem and 2 scrolls and each saurus block has a flanker. Better? More punch and more anti-magic. Unfortunately I can no longer call it a Dinosaur Swarm. :depressed:
