Quite good, overall. I might be a bit worried about the lack of solid units that you can trust, only two units I'd count on in combat - Temple Guard and Saurus Warriors. I'm not sure about the Skink Cohort, never used them, but skinks tend to die pretty fast in combat. Could work if you do well with your salamander, but watch out for enemys targeting Saurus and TG, once they're down, the rest of your army is going to fall pretty quickly. Not that I know much in the way of tactics and unit choices.
Definately need more Saurus warriors imo, especially now in 8th ed large blocks of infantry are more common and if you did come against horde armies they'd soon wear you down.
I still like having champs Bib, if nothing else they can challenge killy lords to keep them from removing steadfast for an extra turn (or more if regrown.). And should you actually win the challenge, while not likely, 50 free VP on top of their characters cost!
Not to mention it seems to me having a champ in the TG lets him step up and protect the slann from challengers, and thus keep his LD for the unit if they lose. Probably a good idea to split the chameleons into 2x5, that way you can shoot at two different things a turn. Since Bibs suggestions were all additions, how about dropping the EotG to a reg steggy. That buys you 200 pts to add a salamander, 10 skinks, and if you drop some upgrades, 16 saurus to run 2x18.
exactly what i think of them. all my list start out with champions in every CC unit, but then i realise those points are spent somehwere else better. i usually run 2 saurus + 1 TG blocks (i don't have kroxigors to run skrox) so thats arround 30 points for champions. once i reach my point limit i find better use for those points.
